Through June 2025, the U.S. multifamily sector posted modest rent growth of approximately 1.2 percent during the first half of the year, with the average advertised asking rent rising to around $1,749. Occupancy remained steady at roughly 94.6 percent, down just 20 basis points year-over-year. Rent trends were strongest in Midwest metros like Chicago, Columbus, and Kansas City, while Sun Belt markets—including Austin, Denver, and Orlando—continued to see softer performance due to elevated deliveries. Nationwide demand remains resilient amid continued affordability pressure and supply uncertainty.
