Is a Softening Market a Buying Opportunity?

While expectations for multifamily price growth have dipped a bit, many investors believe there will be good buying opportunities in 2026. Better borrowing rates, more distressed sales, and a healthier balance between supply and demand next year point to a more favorable market for buyers. Although recent jobs and inflation data have not completely cleared up economic uncertainty, both institutional and individual investors still feel confident about the multifamily market.
