“Coming out of the gates, things felt pretty good, but a lot of this year’s volatility was based on [interest] rate movement, which was primarily based on geopolitical issues. Had rates come down methodically more like the last two months, there would have been less of an impact. It’s hard for buyers to make decisions when rates are whipsawing like what we saw the past couple years, when we were at 4 [percent] one quarter and flirting with 4.75 [percent] the next.”

- Drew Kile, Executive Managing Director at Institutional Property Advisors

Question:

How does a "recession" typically impact multifamily real estate?

Answer:

A recession typically impacts multifamily real estate by slowing rent growth and increasing vacancy rates as job losses and reduced incomes limit tenants’ ability to pay higher rents. However, compared to other property types, multifamily assets often remain relatively resilient since housing is a basic need and demand for rentals may rise when people delay homeownership. Property values can decline due to tighter lending conditions and reduced investor confidence, leading to fewer transactions. Developers may also postpone new construction projects because of financing challenges and lower expected returns. Overall, while recessions create short-term financial pressure, well-located and efficiently managed multifamily properties often recover quickly once the economy stabilizes.

But the Trump administration has been engaged in something more novel: taking direct stakes in US companies like Intel and MP.
