Market Intelligence Webcast: 2025 U.S. Apartment Market Outlook
While the U.S. Apartment Market saw excellent demand, keeping pace with a record volume of new supply in 2024, 2025 is slated to see subsequently larger supply volume, likely remaining near the previous year’s 50-year highs. But can the industry generate enough demand to absorb newer inventory?
And while some regions in the U.S. are seeing strong occupancy readings and persistent supply pressure, others are grappling with intense inventory growth. As such, there is the expectation that 2025 will see a wide array of performance readings both by region and at a more localized market level.
The feared wave of industry distress has been primarily held at bay, but the continued threat of distress remains a key focal point for industry professionals heading into 2025. Will distress increase throughout the year? Or will the industry find a point of stabilization heading into the second half of the ‘20s?

- An overview of performance metrics and where things stand now
- A snapshot of the nation's economy and what's driving today's renter demand
- Regions and markets set to "thrive in 2025" (and areas expected to lag and for how long)
