WASHINGTON, March 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) priced its third Multifamily DUS REMIC in 2012 totaling $767 million under its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMS™) program on March 14, 2012.

"In the weeks leading up to the launch of 2012-M3, we received numerous inquiries about seven-year paper. We continue to see heightened demand in 7s and 10s as rates sell off and the yield curve steepens.

FNA 2012-M3 marks the first time the Fannie Mae GeMS program has employed a grouped collateral structure, offering separate tranches backed by seven-year and ten-year collateral.
