Looking ahead, the supply volume is expected to decrease further in the next quarter, reinforcing our view that the supply peak has passed.

CRE Strength In the Wake of Tariffs?: Although the Trump administration has recently imposed wide-ranging tariffs, commercial real estate, including multifamily properties, show signs of resilience. This stability suggests that rent growth in 2025 may continue to follow the growth of 2024 (albeit tepid). However, with apartment construction slowing and new multifamily supply expected to decrease in 2026, now is the moment for investors to act. Strategic multifamily investments over the next...
