• With the increase in vacancy rates to 6.1% and variations across metro areas, what key factors are driving these changes? How can property managers and developers address these factors to stabilize occupancy levels and optimize rental income?
• Given Freddie Mac’s forecast of muted multifamily performance due to high new supply and slow rent growth, how can investors and developers strategically position themselves for long-term growth in the multifamily sector?

How You’ll Do More Business: The multifamily sector is facing significant challenges, with declining housing starts and units under construction, while rent prices continue to rise, impacting inflation and tenant retention. At the same time, vacancy rates have increased to 6.1%, and the market is seeing a growing supply of newly completed units. With changes in the upcoming election and its impact on commercial real estate development, zoning regulations, and the availability of affordable housing, developers and investors have been put to the test to overcome these obstacles.
