The U.S. multifamily market saw promising gains in 2021. A report by Apartment List indicated that since 2020, rents have increased by approximately 18% nationally. The New York multifamily market stood out as having a noticeably quick upward jump, with the rent prices rising by about 33.5% year-over-year.

New York isn’t the only Tri-State region experiencing highs in the multifamily sector. By Q4 2021, all New Jersey submarkets experienced upticks in rent, with Middlesex County having the most substantial growth rate at 18.7%. Connecticut rents have also climbed, with Fairfield County rising by 19%.

While rising rents in all three regions are good news for investors and developers, they are also all in need of more affordable housing units to meet the ever-increasing demand. As states work to develop creative housing solutions and carve a path forward in 2022, commercial real estate professionals are wondering “What does recovery look like?” and “How can we create sufficient housing to meet the needs of a wide range of renters?”

At the in-person Tri-State Bisnow Multifamily Annual Conference event on March 22, attendees will learn about the gains in the Tri-State multifamily market and how it fits in with national trends and the latest news on everything from affordable housing to luxury condos.
