State of the Multifamily Real Estate Market – Mid-2025
Housing Supply and Demand Dynamics
As of early 2025, the U.S. continues to face a significant housing shortage. While exact figures vary, estimates suggest a deficit of approximately 4.3 million units needed by 2035 to meet current and future demand . This shortage is exacerbated by a slowdown in new multifamily construction, with starts declining by 25% in 2024 and projected to fall an additional 11% in 2025 .Multifamily ExecutiveCBRE+3National Association of Home Builders+3Multi-Housing News+3
Despite these challenges, demand for rental housing remains robust. In the first quarter of 2025, nearly 102,000 multifamily units were absorbed, a 12% increase over the same period in 2024 . This strong demand is driven by factors such as high mortgage rates—averaging 6.86% as of May 2025 —which make homeownership less affordable, prompting more households to remain renters.Cushman & WakefieldMarketWatchWSJ+1CBRE+1
Rent Growth and Occupancy Trends
Rent growth has remained positive but modest. In the first quarter of 2025, rents grew by 2% year-over-year, aligning with historical averages . Vacancy rates are expected to stabilize, with projections indicating a rate of 4.9% by the end of 2025 .CBRE+4Cushman & Wakefield+4New York Post+4CBRE
Certain markets, particularly in the Sun Belt and Mountain regions, are experiencing stronger performance due to continued population growth and demand . Cities like Austin, Texas, lead in new multifamily developments, with 64.5 units permitted per 10,000 residents in the past year .CBREMySA
Multifamily as an Inflation Hedge
Multifamily real estate continues to serve as an effective hedge against inflation. This is achieved through mechanisms such as natural and forced appreciation, the ability to increase rents, and debt debasement—where long-term loans are repaid with future dollars that are less valuable due to inflation. These factors help preserve and grow investor capital in an inflationary environment.
Investment Outlook
Despite higher interest rates and construction costs, the multifamily sector remains attractive to investors. The combination of strong demand, limited new supply, and the asset class's resilience during economic uncertainty positions multifamily real estate as a compelling investment opportunity.
Greenbriar Capital Group and its investors are strategically positioned to capitalize on these market dynamics by acquiring premier multifamily properties that offer stable cash flow and long-term appreciation potential.
