Market Overview

In 2025, the multifamily sector is poised for recovery as key headwinds—like elevated interest rates and a record-high supply pipeline—begin to ease. Net absorption remains strong, especially in Sun Belt metros, supported by job growth and limited homeownership options. While permitting has slowed significantly, demand from household formation and in-migration is expected to stabilize fundamentals in most major markets. With vacancy compression forecasted in most regions, institutional investors are eyeing a more favorable climate ahead.
