Mid-Atlantic Multifamily Real Estate Market Reports

Market Overview

The Mid-Atlantic multifamily market remained stable in Q1 2025, with performance split across submarkets. Washington, D.C. saw positive absorption and rent growth driven by demand for urban core units, while Baltimore and Richmond posted modest gains. Occupancy across the region hovered near 94%, despite an active development pipeline—particularly in Northern Virginia and Richmond. Rent growth has decelerated, averaging 1.5% year-over-year, as new supply enters the market. However, strong job fundamentals, especially in government, healthcare, and tech, continue to support long-term demand across the corridor.
