Quote

“Volatile capital markets and a rise in the 10-year Treasury rate drove a contraction in multifamily lending in 2022 that will persist into 2023. Economic uncertainty and rising prices have led to waning housing demand. This paired with elevated construction levels will drive rent growth to level off and eventually normalize.”
–Steve Guggenmos, Vice President of Research & Modeling for Freddie Mac Multifamily.
