Small Multifamily Investment Snapshot — June 2024

In the first quarter of 2024, the small multifamily subsector continued to fall in line with pre-pandemic norms, resuming patterns frequently seen before the historic multifamily boom years of 2021 and 2022.
In the quarters ahead, small multifamily is likely to see steady improvement. Lending standards remain conservative, and the market consensus that there will be six rate cuts in 2024 has faded. Although many anticipate more hawkish monetary policy in the months ahead, multifamily’s structural strength has historically helped it withstand heavy headwinds. When the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, multifamily investment activity is likely to see a bounce.
