Market Trends

Multifamily real estate has proved its mettle as a top-performing asset class. A big part of its recession-resistant nature lies in the resilience of housing and the basic need for shelter.

The low rate environment continues to make it a good time to refinance apartment properties, assuming you can find a lender willing to cut a deal.

Investors continue to prefer quick-service restaurants, dollar stores, and pharmacies.

The National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC)’s Rent Payment Tracker found 91.3 percent of apartment households made a full or partial rent payment by July 20 in its survey of 11.1 million units of professionally managed apartment units across the country.

With strong rent collections reported on the local and national levels, multifamily has fared better than other asset classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With all the pandemic-related turbulence in the market, determining how apartment units should be priced to succeed has become increasingly difficult. Multifamily operators rely on revenue management to help predict profitability patterns.
