Multifamily National Outlook - Spring 2026
Multifamily started 2026 with a modest increase in rents, breaking a downward trend at the end of 2025. However, the market remains in a tight spot, with mixed signals on the pace of rent growth heading into the critical spring leasing season. Ongoing supply pressures are likely to limit rent growth, while the high cost of homeownership continues to keep many potential buyers in the rental market.
