The slow-yet-steady nature of Midwest apartment demand has resulted in resilient rent growth and occupancy in recent months. With little new supply anticipated in 2024 – a trend counter to that of other U.S. regions – expectations are that Midwest multifamily will continue posting modest yet resilient rent growth in the coming months.
Still, longer-term concerns regarding population and economic growth upside may be influencing investor and developer appetites in the nation's heartland through the remainder of the 2020s.
