The multifamily market is shifting—again. Construction is slowing down after a historic wave of new delivery, and uncertainty surrounding the new administration, tariffs, and inflation is causing consumers to lose faith in the economy as a recession looms. Passive investors must recalibrate, but how? Stay tuned as we share our multifamily outlook for 2025!

Things are changing rapidly, and to help unpack it all, we’re interviewing Greg Willett, a real estate economist turned tech-side strategist at LeaseLock. In this episode, Greg will pull back the curtain and point out the market trends that could make 2025 a surprisingly great time to invest. Despite high interest rates and tighter margins, operators can take advantage of elevated rental demand while there’s a “premium to buy.”

But if our worst fears are realized and a recession does arrive, how will multifamily investments hold up? For limited partners and syndicators looking to get ahead of the next market cycle, Greg’s message is to focus on “resilient” middle-market properties. The “free money” era is over. The question now is, who adapts, and who gets left behind?
