Dallas Multifamily 2026 Panelists Cautious, Hopeful About Industry Future
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. Dallas-Fort Worth continues to absorb the largest multifamily delivery pipeline in the country. Industrial along the I-35 corridor is clearing at competitive basis, and selective office is finding bids at deep discounts to replacement. Allocators continue to favor residential for its income durability and its insulation from secular demand questions that still hang over commercial sectors.
