Residential housing sales volume and inventory are predicted to pick up in 2025, marking the beginning of a healthier market, though not necessarily a price recovery.

Multifamily unit deliveries will be incrementally lower in 2025 (still >500k) and drop to 240k-260k in 2026. Consequently, rents are not expected to grow in 2025, potentially seeing some growth in the latter half.
"multifamily units... that's number is going to be incrementally... lower in 2025 but still north of 500,000 it will drop to 200 40 to 260,000 in 2026 based on the starts that are in progress right now...
