The Radix Review: Multifamily Trends Explained ·

2026/04/22

For years, 2026 was circled on the calendar as the year multifamily metrics would roar back. However, metro-level job data suggests the recovery is being stifled by the demand side of the equation. Despite supply becoming less of a challenge, job creation—the primary engine for household formation—has stalled across the U.S. Here are comparisons of annual job gain for February 2026 relative to the three years before the pandemic according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Inflation Spikes and Housing Rebound Stalls

The Radix Review: Multifamily Trends Explained ·

2026/04/14

The latest data is finally showing us the real-world impact of the "war shock," with skyrocketing oil prices officially putting an end to the recent cooling trend in inflation. Between those rising costs at the pump and a housing market that remains stubbornly stuck, renters are feeling the squeeze even as they find themselves staying in the rental pool longer. Inflation Resurges on Energy Spikes: Headline inflation jumped to 3.3% on an annual basis in March, fueled by a massive 21.2% m...

Occupancy Growth Muted in Early Q2

The Radix Review: Multifamily Trends Explained ·

2026/04/08

The U.S. labor market bounced back in March to reverse February's losses. While the headline was positive, the U.S. has not posted consecutive months of job gains since April and May 2025. A bad month of growth has followed a good one the past year, and that was before the potential economic impact of the conflict in Iran. Headline Growth: The economy added 178,000 jobs in March, roughly three times higher than economists predicted. Average hourly earnings were up 3.5% from the prior year, st...

Leasing at Slower Pace in Q1 2026

2026/03/26

Economic Headlines The economic narrative has shifted from "gradual recovery" to "geopolitical volatility" as conflict in the Middle East continues to dictate the pace of inflation and interest rates. For multifamily operators, the immediate impact remains the "inflation tax" on renters’ wallets, weaker job creation, and the subsequent effect on 2026 occupancy and rent growth. · Energy Volatility: After a volatile week, Brent Crude oil climbed back above $106/bbl this morning as hopes for an ...

2026/03/11

Labor Market Loses Momentum The February jobs report was weaker than expected, with the U.S. losing 92,000 jobs and falling well short of the growth economists projected. While the unemployment rate remains relatively low at 4.4%, the widespread nature of the decline—hitting everything from healthcare to construction—suggests a softening that could eventually impact renter household income and overall consumer confidence. For multifamily operators, this is a troubling signal heading int...

Mortgage Rates Dip Below 6%

The Radix Review: Multifamily Trends Explained ·

2026/03/03

Prior to increased global tensions, mortgage rates hit a milestone as the average 30-year fixed-rate dropped to 5.98% last week—the first time the metric has dipped below 6% since September 2022. This slight decline from 6.01% the prior week (and 6.76% a year ago), paired with rising inventory, is expected to pull buyers off the sidelines if the lower mortgage rates persist or continue to decline. Additionally, Freddie Mac reports that refinancing applications have already doubled year-over-y...

Economic Update: A Resilient Start to 2026

The Radix Review: Multifamily Trends Explained ·

2026/02/18

The first half of February delivered a wave of favorable economic data, painting a more optimistic picture for the start of the year than many analysts predicted. The combination of cooling costs and a resilient labor market provides a strong foundation for the housing sector as spring approaches. Inflation inched closer to the Fed’s target of 2.0%. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.4% year-over-year in January, the slowest pace since last May. Significant relief came from lower gasoline ...

Job Growth Surprisingly Strong to Start 2026

2026/02/11

The labor market kicked off 2026 with a surprising 130,000 new jobs in January based on today’s report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It was more than double economists’ expectations. From an industry perspective, health care and social assistance (+124,000) and construction (+33,000) were major winners for monthly job gains. The federal government (-34,000) and financial activities (-22,000) lost jobs. While the overall number is great news to start 2026, many will wait and see if thes...

2026/02/04

The U.S. Census Bureau’s first look at 2025 population data revealed a significant cooling trend. As of July 1, 2025, the U.S. population grew by 1.8 million from the prior year, or 0.5%. It was a sharp deceleration compared to the prior year’s 1.0% gain of 3.2 million people. Analysts attributed much of the change to a substantial decline in international immigration. The slowdown in overall population growth was particularly relevant for the multifamily sector because it influenced demand f...

Fern Impacts Q1 Economic Growth

2026/01/27

Winter Storm Fern wreaked havoc on the U.S. this past week, with early estimates predicting more than $100 billion in total economic losses. According to MarketWatch, analysts from Morgan Stanley believe the storm’s disruption could shave 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points from Q1 GDP, potentially obscuring the true strength of the economy. Some people reading this planned to attend a major multifamily conference in Las Vegas this week, but they were significantly delayed or completely unable to ma...

The U.S. labor market ended the year with an unemployment rate of 4.4%, reinforcing expectations that the Fed will keep interest rates steady at its meeting later this month. While the jobless rate was low, it was a lackluster year of job gains, which is a trend that could persist in 2026. Employment increaed by 50,000 jobs from the prior month in December on a seasonally adjusted basis.

While 2025 might be in the rearview mirror, many of its economic trends carry into 2026. These are a few to watch that influence demand for multifamily. Can the labor market rebound and spur household formation? It was one of the biggest disappointments of last year, with essentially no job growth after April. Supply will be lower than recent peaks, but it won’t completely disappear. Many markets in the Southeast and Southwest regions rely on strong job creation and migration to fill those un...

The year ended with a strong reading for U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced its preliminary reading of 4.3% annual growth in GDP for Q3 2025. It significantly outperformed expectations and was the highest in two years. The government shutdown happened after the reporting period, and it will impact the Q4 GDP results. Still, it indicated a stronger economy through September than many headlines suggested.

Existing home sales rose for the third consecutive month in November based on data from the National Association of Realtors. The seasonally adjusted total of 4.13 million homes sold in the last year was the highest since February, but it remained well below prior norms.

2025/12/17

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its initial estimates for November’s job growth. Nationally, employers added a total of 64,000 jobs for the month, but other details in the report pointed towards a weakening labor market as the year ends. The unemployment rate increased to 4.6%, the highest in more than four years. In the last six months, the U.S. has only created a total of 100,000 new jobs. During normal periods of economic growth, the job market would eclipse that total practic...

The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points today, putting the target federal funds rate in the range of 3.50% to 3.75%. The recent peak was 5.25% to 5.50% in July 2023. Additional cuts in the near term could be more difficult as the committee members were already divided on this decision to lower rates. More data indicating substantial weakness in the labor market and economy will likely be needed to sway future votes. Ahead of the vote, ADP estimated that employment in the private sector ...

Global and U.S. Economic Growth to Moderate in 2026

The Radix Review: Multifamily Trends Explained ·

2025/12/04

This week, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released its latest outlook for U.S. and worldwide growth for 2026. The general sentiment is that economic growth will remain positive next year, but it will moderate in the U.S. and most other countries.
