January advertised rent gain sparks optimism; supply absorption challenges remain<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb.\u00a010, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0U.S. multifamily rents rose in January 2026, besting December\u2019s average by $3 and offering hope that \u201cthe worst of the seasonal softness is behind us,\u201d according to a\u00a0new report from Yardi\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Matrix<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average advertised rent reached $1,741 in January, a welcome change for multifamily property operators after five consecutive months of decline. However, the market is delivering \u201cmixed signals on the pace of rent growth heading into the critical spring leasing season,\u201d Yardi Matrix experts note, with supply pressures likely to limit rent growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some major Sun Belt markets are still struggling to absorb apartment deliveries that arose from pandemic-driven demographic shifts. Meanwhile, the demand outlook remains uncertain, with faltering consumer confidence that could slow renter household formation countering an expensive for-sale housing market that favors multifamily demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, it may be \u201cdifficult to achieve gains in overall advertised rents if the people renting workforce apartments don\u2019t have steadily increasing incomes,\u201d according to Yardi Matrix, which projects that advertised asking rents will grow by an average of 0.5% in 2026, 1% in 2027 and 2.3% in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With new construction starts remaining resilient, Yardi Matrix increased its forecast for multifamily completions by 6.4%, 8.1% and 8.9% in 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively. More than 1.3 million units of market rate, affordable, senior and single family rental housing are projected to be delivered in that timespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
