This month's inflation report came in slightly higher than expected, causing some worry that the much-anticipated interest rate cuts from the Fed may not arrive as quickly as previously thought. A "higher for longer" environment is one reason why some are pessimistic about multifamily in 2024, but there is little evidence for continued declines in multifamily valuations, which are already 20-30% below the peak. Consistent demand, a more balanced supply/demand environment after 2024, and, yes, lower interest rate expectations are a strong counter-balance to multifamily doomsayers and help explain why investors intend to be far more active this year compared to 2023.
