We welcome rental housing economist Jay Parsons to dissect the current multifamily landscape and offer insights on what 2025 might bring. Jay unpacks why record new deliveries haven’t led to severe distress (yet), how interest rate surprises are reshaping capital markets, and whether policy risks could outweigh simple supply-and-demand fundamentals. Learn why he believes “steady eddy” Midwest markets are surging, why the Sunbelt could soon make a comeback, and what these trends mean for passive investors looking at longer-term holds.

Today’s Episode Takeaways:

- Why multifamily demand has remained surprisingly strong

- Whether we’ll see more distressed properties change hands in 2025

- How changes in supply, policy, and interest rates are shaping next year’s outlook

- Why Jay sees a potential split between “busted” C-class deals and A/B-class stability

- Key factors for LPs to consider when underwriting longer-term investments
