Little Rock, AR Multifamily Market Report | MMG Real Estate Advisors | Q1 2026

Market Overview

Little Rock's multifamily market sat at an early-cycle inflection point in Q1 2026, with average rent at $1,030, up 1.5% year-over-year, and occupancy at 88.9%, down 170 basis points annually, as trailing 12-month net absorption registered slightly negative at -80 units against 574 units delivered. The supply wave that pressured occupancy through 2024 and into 2025 is clearly easing, with deliveries falling to the lowest level since 2021 and the construction pipeline shrinking to decade-low levels, improving the path back to balance. Pricing and occupancy remain soft but are stabilizing, with stronger retention and a gradual rent recovery expected as remaining new supply is absorbed.
