Walker & Dunlop Survey Charts Bullish Outlook for Affordable Housing
Walker & Dunlop, Inc.’s third annual survey of affordable housing executives, conducted at the Affordable Housing Finance (AHF) Live conference, signaled a bullish outlook for continued growth in 2026. Ninety percent of respondents believe the appetite for investments in affordable housing will increase in the next year, compared to 70% who held this view a year ago.
65% of respondents this year cited an increase in affordable housing investments (debt and equity) in the past year, up from 52% who reported an increase in 2024. This momentum is not only anticipated but already occurring across many markets, according to Walker & Dunlop.
“This survey offers us a real-time pulse and reflection of industry sentiment,” said Sheri Thompson, EVP and head of affordable housing at Walker & Dunlop. “We held over 100 meetings at AHF Live and spoke with more than 300 clients. The survey results truly reflect what we’re hearing in those conversations.”
