Apartment prices increased a full 4.9% last month, according to recent data from Green Street's Property Price Index, which follows a 2% increase from the previous month and is the strongest positive trend since late 2021. Apartment demand remains strong amid a generational peak in new apartment supply. Weakening (however gradually) inflation, alongside indications from the Federal Reserve that interest rate cuts are a growing possibility, could finally lead to a more active multifamily investment market, but currently, sales activity is relatively low.
