In Q3 2025 the Fresno CA multifamily market continued to show strength through its affordability moat and stable occupancy. Vacancy remained low, near 4–5%, reflecting tight conditions despite modest rent increases of around 1–2% year-over-year. New construction activity remains minimal compared with earlier peaks, helping to preserve balance. Demand is concentrated at higher-quality product, while older units face rising competition. Overall, the market is stable with moderate upside rather than accelerating growth.
