Navigating the multifamily real estate landscape through the discerning eyes of institutional players offers a varied spectrum of insights and evolving strategies.

What we found is that the majority of those surveyed have adjusted their yield objectives, to converge around a yield on cost above 6.75 percent. This shift arises from the perfect financial storm created by rising interest rates, unprecedented insurance premiums and other OpEx, and a tempering rental market. These elements together exert pressure on property valuations, necessitating investors to recalibrate and rethink their strategies.
