The Phoenix multifamily market entered a reset phase during Q3 2025 as an elevated pipeline and strong in-migration collided. Rent declined roughly 2.8% year-over-year to about $1,600 per unit while roughly 6,500 units delivered during the quarter and 22,100 remained under construction. Despite healthy annual absorption of about 17,000 units, vacancy climbed above 12% and competitive pressure is mounting. That said, slower new-starts point to a potential inflection toward stabilisation in 2026.
