A "trifecta of positive inflation reports" shows consistently weakening inflation, and data from both the single-family and multifamily markets points to persistent strong housing demand. Multifamily investment activity, however, is low, and there is little sign of interest rate relief for multifamily borrowers still struggling with high debt costs and sluggish rent growth. The sharpening contrast between the potential for growth and the current stagnation in the multifamily market represents a significant opportunity for investors, especially those with greater access to capital.
