Investor activity has been severely impacted due to current economic conditions and market trends – looming recession, rising interest rates, and tighter lending standards. According to CBRE’s U.S. Investor Intentions Survey, these factors have affected purchasing activity in 2023 when compared to 2022 levels. Due to market uncertainty and shifting pricing dynamics, 60% of respondents say they will sell less than last year or not sell at all.
We might not see the Fed reverse its current rate hike strategy but many believe that it is likely that a pause is coming toward the end of the year due to cooling inflation.
As noted by CBRE, the average multifamily cap rate has increased by 113 bps since Q1 (‘22) and additional cap rate expansion is likely as the Fed continues to raise rates, and as lending requirements continue to tighten. With changing market dynamics, investors that are well-capitalized may have the opportunity to acquire opportunistic and distressed assets.
Strong Markets Fundamentals
When investing in real estate, it is critical to understand the market or area where you are going to invest. Due to current market dynamics, it is critical to know which market is performing best and which are in high growth areas. High-growth primary markets across the sunbelt are expected to perform best. This is in large part due to the number of individuals that are moving into these markets, the jobs moving into the markets, and household formation numbers, among other factors.
