Multifamily construction across the U.S. and Houston has sharply declined due to high borrowing and construction costs, but the Heights neighborhood in Houston is an exception. In 2023, the Heights saw a four-year high in construction starts, with nearly 2,000 new units expected between 2024 and 2025. The Heights, known for its historic Victorian homes, has seen significant demographic improvements and rising property values. The area has become increasingly attractive due to the renovation of historic homes, new upscale developments, and enhanced retail along major streets. In the short term, the influx of new construction is likely to increase the vacancy rate, which stood at 8.5% in the second quarter, and put pressure on rent growth, which has been negative since mid-2023. However, the Heights' central location near Downtown and Uptown, along with its growing retail and culinary scenes, suggests a positive long-term outlook for investors and renters.

Multifamily construction starts have decreased dramatically. 📉 Some would say this is the market correcting the current oversupply, but I think it's a concerning trend going into 2026. According to the Harvard journal, the current "pipeline of units...should help provide new supply in the near term," but the "declining starts could worsen the existing supply shortage." While not all analysts agree on the exact number, everyone agrees that the United States needs MILLIONS of multifamily units to bridge the gap for more affordable housing. This is why DLP Capital has thousands of units under construction that will be delivered to the market in 2026 and 2027, right when the supply will be restricted. And when supply is down, demand is up, which means investment returns go up too. 📈 DLP is poised for an excellent real estate market into the future, and we're excited to see returns stay consistent for our investors. If you are ready to invest in a company that has: ⭕ never missed a preferred return ⭕ never lost a penny of investor principal ⭕ always delivered 10%+ returns Then let's connect!

Zachary Streit, J.D. M.S. posted this on X (he's a great follow). Construction costs, interest rates, and long (& convoluted) approval processes have put development in CA in a gridlock. In an already supply constrained market to multifamily construction permits hit a 10 year low is extremely concerning. Digging deeper there is even greater concern for homeownership, as for sale condo development is almost non - existent when compared to "build to rent" construction starts. https://lnkd.in/dY-yG78x

Multifamily Supply Wave Recedes as Construction Stages Retreat The multifamily housing market is currently oversupplied, though improving. In 2024, completions are expected to total 533,000 units, a 10% drop from 2023's 588,000 units. Despite this, Austin, Tampa, and San Antonio will see increased supply, likely raising vacancy rates and keeping rent growth negative. Construction activity has sharply declined, with units under construction dropping from 1.2 million in early 2023 to 860,000 by May 2024. New construction starts have also fallen significantly, from 210,000 units in early 2022 to 63,000 in early 2024. With multifamily developments taking about two years to complete, fewer starts now mean fewer available units in 2026, projected at just 250,000 completions. If demand remains steady, this could quickly shift the market from oversupply to undersupply, lowering vacancy rates and accelerating rent growth, with the market unable to respond quickly enough to the shortage.

The multifamily construction sector is experiencing a notable slowdown in 2024, primarily driven by rising interest rate risks. However, this pause is expected to be temporary, with new construction starts anticipated to pick up again in the fall of 2025. Despite the current slowdown, apartment demand remains robust, fueled by a significant affordability gap that continues to make renting an attractive option for many. In 2024, 440K new units are set to be delivered across the US, representing only 2.5% of the existing inventory. As we navigate these challenges, it's crucial to stay focused on the long-term opportunities within the multifamily market. #MultifamilyRealEstate #ConstructionSlowdown #InterestRates #RealEstateTrends #MarketOutlook #ApartmentDemand #AffordableHousing #RealEstateInvestment #FutureGrowth #InvestmentStrategy #RealEstateDevelopment #HousingMarket #MultifamilyHousing #EconomicTrends #RealEstateOpportunities #MultifamilyRealEstate #CapRates #TreasuryYields #InvestmentStrategy #RealEstateTrends #MarketAnalysis #PropertyValues #RealEstateInvestment #YieldSpread #EconomicTrends #InvestmentOpportunities #RealEstateFinance #MarketDynamics #InvestorSuccess #GrowthOpportunities

U.S. multifamily housing is experiencing a significant pullback in new construction, even as the number of units that began construction in the past two years is expected to reach a 40-year high. While 675,000 units were added this year, construction starts on rental apartments, after peaking in the first quarter of 2022 at 211,000 units, have since plummeted 70% to just 65,000 units starting construction in the third quarter, reflecting a dramatic shift in market dynamics.
