2026 Multifamily Investor Pulse Survey
The multifamily industry enters 2026 at an important transition point. To better understand how industry stakeholders are positioning for the year ahead, we conducted our 2026 Multifamily Pulse Survey across a broad cross-section of owners, operators, developers, and investors. The survey is designed to capture both near-term operating expectations and longer-term conviction, with sections spanning the macro outlook, fundamentals, expenses, capital availability, and investment strategy. The results are intentionally presented in a data-forward format. Our commentary provides context, but the findings speak for themselves.
Plains States Economic Development & Multifamily Market Insights
The Midwest is in the middle of a structural investment cycle anchored by semiconductors, AI-ready data centers, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and large-scale civic infrastructure.
Southeast on the Rise
The Southeast U.S. is experiencing an unprecedented wave of capital investment, with companies building new factories, data center campuses, and logistics hubs across the Sun Belt. An analysis of the region’s largest announced projects shows $264.7 billion in total investment, expected to generate about 150,349 jobs. This pipeline is concentrated in EV battery manufacturing, clean energy infrastructure, data centers, aerospace and defense, and transportation logistics. Research from the Building Industry Association, University of Wisconsin, and NAHR finds that each new job typically supports an additional 1.5 residents in the local population. As a result, multifamily housing demand is closely tied to job creation, and this surge in industrial and infrastructure development is set to drive the next wave of apartment demand in both major metropolitan areas and smaller manufacturing corridors.
