Experts advise increasing allocations in multifamily housing NOW

Posted on August 17, 2018

Experts recommend that investors increase allocations in core multifamily housing. This headline is making waves across real estate publications nationwide.

It’s no secret that real estate is a cycle with ebbs and flows, ups and downs. As we get further into this current cycle, the pattern is showing an increased popularity in multifamily investments. One reason for this is the strength and resiliency shown by multifamily properties in any market, especially in a downturn when other investment vehicles suffer the worst.

One of our favorite publications sat down with Chris Macke, a principal at a real estate investment advisory firm. “First, decreasing multifamily construction activity in select areas, rising mortgage rates and home prices, and reduced benefits of homeownership create an increasingly favorable supply-demand environment going forward. Second, multifamily is a good late-cycle property sector having generally outperformed during downturns and importantly, during the early stages of subsequent recoveries.”

At CGI, we are ahead of this trend, with increasing multifamily allocations this year, including two new opportunities “La Brea” and “Fedora”. To learn more about these opportunities click here: CHECK OUT THESE OPPORTUNITIES

Many investors thought that the influx of new construction in 2015  would cause the multifamily market to soften as a result of the new supply. CGI, however, continued course and we have since seen the market overcome previous expectations. Multifamily has been and will continue to be a strong performer for investment allocations. Smart investors will start doing their research now and partner with the right firm to leverage the most.

In the next 12 to 18 months, experts now say that there will be increasing opportunities in the multifamily sector.

Best Bosses | Here are Real Estate Forum’s picks for Best Bosses in 2023.

The last year has not been easy for the head of a commercial real estate company. Inflation and the Fed’s response, as well as trends that emerged from the pandemic, have clearly had an impact on the industry across all of the sectors. Besides the effect of, say, ongoing remote work on the beleaguered office asset class or the slowing pace of rent increases in multifamily, these executives have also had to navigate an increasingly difficult capital markets environment. I have some bad news for this group: the near-term future doesn’t look any easier. Enter our selection of Best Bosses this year.
