2025 Multifamily Outlook: Rising Optimism

Several leading apartment companies plan to buy, sell, or start to build more apartments in 2025 than they have in years—with many planning to do all three.

Many believe the time is finally right to commit to plans they have delayed for years.

As 2025 begins, new renters had signed leases at hundreds of thousands of new apartments. A strong U.S. economy has avoided recession. Short-term interest rates have finally begun to drop, though long-term rates are still volatile. And the gap has finally begun to close between the prices many potential buyers have been willing to pay for apartment properties and the prices sellers have been willing to accept.

“We’ve definitely seen more of a meeting of the minds between buyers and sellers over the past three to six months,” says Stephanie Wiggins, head of agency and Federal Housing Administration production at PGIM Real Estate.
