Supply & Demand in Multifamily CRE

The recent downturn in multifamily building permits, as reported across leading markets, reflects both challenges and opportunities for the real estate industry. Amid ongoing economic shifts, construction of multifamily homes has seen a significant decline—from cities like Philadelphia to Portland, developers are facing financial and logistical hurdles. The result is a potential constraint in supply that could ultimately affect rental prices and availability in major metros.

Permitting trends reveal not only short-term demand shifts but also the complexity of long-term rental pricing. While single-family construction has risen slightly, the sharp decline in multifamily permits points to a future of more limited rental availability in some of the most in-demand urban centers. These developments underscore the need for careful planning and innovation in the CRE sector.
