Data over 6 months points to gradual reversal of slowdown through the early 2030s<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug.\u00a05, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0After analyzing six months of confirmed leasing data,\u00a0Yardi\u00ae Matrix forecasts modest growth<\/a>\u00a0in U.S. multifamily market rents for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data summarized in a new special report points to rent growth of 1.4% for the year, close to the 1% year-over-year growth recorded through mid-2026 and the slowest pace in a forecast that projects 3.5% annual growth in the early 2030s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the forecast represents significant deceleration from the 2.6% pace seen in 2024, \u201cit is a slowdown, not a decline,\u201d the new report says, as the 2025-26 trough \u201cis shallower and a bit later than it appeared in the prior forecast vintage.\u201d That is because data collected since the previous special report in February \u201cshowed a slightly more resilient market than the older projection assumed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rent growth in markets that absorbed the heaviest wave of new apartment construction over the past few years, such as Austin, Texas; the Southwest Florida coast; Phoenix; Asheville, N.C.; and San Antonio, will be in negative territory this year. Meanwhile, markets with tighter supply and steadier demand, including Honolulu, Scranton-Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania and South Bend, Ind., are forecast to grow 5-6% in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
