Fresno's multifamily market held its position through Q4 2025, with vacancy at 4.7% and asking rents averaging $1,471 per unit, up modestly from $1,429 a year prior. Trailing 12-month absorption came in at 398 units, below pre-pandemic norms but consistent with a market where new supply has nearly dried up. Only 96 units were under construction as developers pulled back in response to rising costs and moderating rent growth. Cap rates edged down slightly to 6.36%, and sale pricing firmed to $151,377 per unit. Fresno's affordability relative to coastal California markets continues to anchor steady, if unspectacular, renter demand.
