Multifamily Report

Publishing date: 1 October 2023

REC USA’s 2023 multifamily report will be published on October 2023 in print and online and will circulate to all subscribers with the October issue.

The centrepiece will be a roundtable discussion featuring the leading lenders, borrowers and advisers active in the sector.

The report will sit on the website, be alerted on email and published on the REC USA LinkedIN page.

The issue will also circulate at key industry events including Expo Real Munich, PERE America Forum, New York and CRE Finance Council Capital markets conference in New York in October.

The multifamily sector was a strong performer through the covid-19 pandemic but rising interest rates and a high inflationary environment have affected the ability to refinance. Still, the asset class remains buoyed by a severe supply-demand imbalance, particularly for housing that is affordable.
The multifamily roundtable discussion will feature the leading industry figures active in the sector.
Participants will include lenders, borrowers and service providers offering perspective from all sides of the asset class.

Key points of discussion will include:
• What does the pricing landscape look like in the asset class?
• On the lender side, which type of organizations are supplying finance to the multifamily market?
Can it be considered a liquid part of the real estate debt market?
• How are lending terms changing? Are lenders raising margins/reducing LTVs?
• Is the ESG agenda being adopted in the multifamily market?
• What is the biggest threat to the multifamily market in the coming year?
• What role do Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have in the multifamily sector?
• How is the US housing model being adopted overseas?
