Listen "Home Sales Teetering Towards the Abyss: What's Next for Housing?"

Episode Synopsis

Signs of a softening for-sale home market are making some worry about a larger economic downturn, and apartment rent growth has faltered, growing less this year than in the past. That being said, apartment market performance varies considerably from region to region. Midwest and Northeast markets have rent growth close to 3-3.5%, while the South and West are less than 1% (and sometimes negative). Apartment construction trends point to a more balanced market as 2025 moves into 2026, but higher supply markets may take longer to get to this equilibrium.Sources discussed in this episode:GlobeSt: “Experts Warn Housing Could Be the Tipping Point for the Next Recession” - https://www.globest.com/2025/05/28/experts-warn-housing-could-be-the-tipping-point-for-the-next-recession/Cotality: "US home price insights — June 2025” - https://www.cotality.com/insights/articles/us-home-price-insights-june-2025Apartment List: “May 2025 National Rent Report” - https://www.apartmentlist.com/research/national-rent-dataColliers: “Path to Performance: Fundamentals Strengthen in 2025 - Multifamily Capital Markets Report” - https://www.colliers.com/en/research/nrep-uscm-usmf-colliers-capital-markets-multifamily-report-2025Learn more about Gray Capital's Midwest Multifamily Fund: https://www.graycapitalllc.com/midwestDownload Gray Capital's latest report: ⁠https://www.graycapitalllc.com/midwest-report/⁠Sign up for our free multifamily newsletter here: ⁠https://www.graycapitalllc.com/newsletter⁠ DISCLAIMERS: This video does not constitute professional financial advice and is for educational/entertainment purposes only.
