Pipeline adds to apartment Influx from early 2020s that is still being absorbed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., Feb. 6, 2026 \u2013<\/strong> Yardi\u00ae Matrix<\/a> projects that U.S. multifamily 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

The forecast stems from the large pipeline of properties in major Sun Belt markets that are still struggling to absorb apartment deliveries driven by pandemic-driven demographic shifts. On the other hand, markets such as Youngstown, Ohio, and Albany, N.Y., have seen significantly better growth than their historical averages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, economic pressures might make it \u201cdifficult to achieve gains in overall advertised rents in the people renting workforce apartments don\u2019t have steadily increasing incomes,\u201d according to Yardi Matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about the impact of supply, the labor market, inflation and other factors on U.S. multifamily rents is available in the Yardi Matrix Special Report<\/a> for January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
