Bedford Affordable Housing Buys 220-Unit Avana San Jose for $85.5MM
Why this matters
Multifamily has been the most actively underwritten sector through the rate cycle, with cap rate compression resuming in Sun Belt and gateway markets as 2024-2025 deliveries roll off and refinance demand on 2021-vintage bridge loans clears. Transaction velocity is up modestly, concentrated in stabilized Class A and grocery-adjacent garden assets. Los Angeles is working asset-by-asset through an extended office reset. Hospitality on the West Side and selective industrial in the South Bay are where capital is currently moving; downtown Class B remains in price discovery. Allocators continue to favor residential for its income durability and its insulation from secular demand questions that still hang over commercial sectors.
