Market Intelligence: Q3 U.S. Multifamily Update
With peak apartment supply in the rearview mirror, the focus has shifted toward the market's ability to generate demand. While some noise surrounding the macroeconomy has clouded the outlook, the nation has seen apartment demand remain resilient thus far throughout the market's peak leasing season.
But as summer leasing activity gives way to the seasonally slower fall period, budget season is on the horizon. What key influences will shape operators' approach to budgeting in the second half of the year? Will demand continue to carry forward with resilience, or are there bumps in the road? And what does a post-supply peak market look like for the remainder of the year?
