After nearly two years of falling apartment rents in top U.S. metros, a sharp drop in new construction permits could flip the script. In 2024, only 294,000 multifamily units were approved — down from 318,000 at the pandemic peak. With less supply coming online, rent pressure could return fast. Cities like New York (rents up 6.8%, permits down 9.5%) and Kansas City (rents up 6%, permits down 6%) are already feeling the shift. Recent affordability? Might’ve been a brief window.

Rents have been declining for nearly two years in the top 50 metros.

Housing affordability has been a growing problem, with millions of U.S. households spending more than 30% of their income on shelter, classifying them as financially burdened. But there's a shift happening—Moody’s reports that the rent-to-income ratio (RTI) has consistently declined for five straight quarters, landing at 27.6% in Q4 2024. This drop is fueled by a 3.6% year-over-year income increase and rising housing inventory. Median household income rose 0.9% last quarter, outpacing the typical 0.2% rent hike, with annual rent growth at just 0.7%. If these trends hold, renting could become even more manageable.

The multifamily CRE sector is experiencing a notable increase in distress, with rates climbing to 12.9% in January 2025, up from 2.6% the previous year. Despite this, opportunities are emerging for investors, as some are capitalizing on distressed properties in key markets. But the anticipated surge in available distressed assets hasn't fully materialized, prompting a strategic focus on acquiring new developments under lease-up.

However, the industry’s servicing rate fell in January as delinquencies only ticked up slightly, according to Trepp.

In 2024, U.S. apartment sales surged by 22%, reaching $146B—a trend analysts expect to continue well into this year. Major deals, such as Blackstone's $10B acquisition of Apartment Income REIT Corp., were a major driver of this growth. And a recent survey indicates that 70% of commercial real estate investors plan to increase their acquisitions this year, with multifamily assets being their top choice. This momentum suggests a promising outlook for the multifamily sector.

The 2025 CRE outlook - per a recent Fed report - presents a mixed bag of potential bright spots amid ongoing challenges. Multifamily demand remains strong in regions offering rental concessions, while industrial leasing thrives in areas with high warehouse demand. Atlanta is seeing rising vacancies balanced by rental deals and cautious lender activity. In Dallas, industrial leasing is driving growth, even as office demand lags. And across the Midwest, metros like Minneapolis and Kansas City show cautious optimism, but funding hurdles persist. Could these trends signal a shift in priorities for CRE investors and developers?

The Fed’s Jan. Beige Book reported slight to moderate growth in CRE sales, but construction slowed due to high material and financing costs.
