It’s a New Year — Where Does the Multifamily Market Stand?
Multifamily real estate investing enjoyed quite the boom from Q4 2021 to about mid-year 2022. But with a variety of economic pressures and changes impacting this market and countless others, things began to shift rather quickly. Yet despite these factors, the multifamily market remains one of the stronger sectors within commercial real estate.
In fact, experts foresee a number of trends that stand to positively impact this industry:
- Construction is expected to deliver strong on inventory throughout the year
- Rates not decreasing on single family homes means more interest in rentals
- Continuing job growth means more people moving out and increasing demand
- Occupancy rates and rental growth are expected to remain strong
Whether you’re already active in commercial real estate or you’re considering entering the industry (either as an individual investor or a general partner of a CRE firm), ensure your multifamily real estate investing strategy stays strong with this curated collection of resources from our expert team.

All too often, new investors get involved in multifamily real estate because it appears to have a lower barrier to entry than other markets.

3. Use the Right Tools to Hit the Ground Running
Today more than ever, commercial real estate investors need to leverage technology to make the myriad administrative functions faster, simpler, and easier. Historically, tech adoption in CRE has been delayed due to older generations in the workforce, but this is expected to change with Gen Z. A number of tools are available in the market today, but not all of them touch on the many functions of CRE such as fundraising, investor relations, banking, distributions, and more.
