Powerhouse Poll Forecasts Increased Multifamily Sales in 2025
Renter demand is expected to exceed apartment supply this year, according to Berkadia’s 2025 Multifamily Powerhouse Poll Outlook. Fifty-nine percent of the 320 Berkadia investment sales advisors and mortgage bankers surveyed expect this, with Class A and Class B rental housing and affordable housing properties anticipated to attract the most investor interest.
Although 47% of respondents to the eighth annual Berkadia poll believe inflation will continue making a moderate-to-significant impact on commercial real estate investment activity, 62% expect transaction volume to increase under the Trump administration.
“Despite ongoing challenges like inflationary pressures, high interest rates, and rising distressed opportunities, investors continue to recognize significant opportunities in the multifamily sector,” said Berkadia EVP and head of production Ernie Katai. “Although market fundamentals are expected to remain soft through 2025 with new supply coming online, the core drivers of rental housing remain solid, and investor confidence in the sector remains high.”
