Vivmark boosted August volume, but apartment prices fell 4.7% YOY
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. Allocators continue to favor residential for its income durability and its insulation from secular demand questions that still hang over commercial sectors.
