Economic pressures offset reduced supply; transaction activity remains muted<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., June 18, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 With almost 1.3 million units in the lease-up phase and consumer sentiment wavering, U.S. multifamily rent growth is likely to remain modest for the remainder of 2026, according to a new market analysis from Yardi\u00ae<\/sup> Matrix<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multifamily demand, which increased modestly in the first half of the year, is not strong enough to overcome the elevated level of supply, even as constructions starts continue to decline. As a result, \u201cfull-year growth is likely to be limited\u201d as 2026 concludes, Yardi Matrix analysts report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weakening consumer spending, slowing population growth, faltering job growth and pressures arising from the Middle East conflict are among the factors that are moderating demand. But the decline in starts offers hope that \u201cthe glut caused by rapid deliveries in recent years will soon turn around and give property owners some pricing power,\u201d the report notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, capital is plentiful but the deal flow remains muted, with property sales \u201climited by the refusal of many sellers to accept current market pricing. Investors have money to spend but want higher yields, while buyers are waiting for prices to return to 2021 levels,\u201d according to the new report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
