Homeownership levels ticked up in 2017, and multifamily investors are keeping a close eye on them in the coming year. Homeownership peaked in 2006 at 69%, and last year, in 2016, it hit a low point, dropping down to 63%. This year, homeownership began to tick back up, reaching 64%. In 2018, it could continue to grow.

“We have seen some articles where the homeownership rate has ticked up slightly, and we watch that pretty closely in our industry,” Greg Campbell, senior managing director of acquisitions and dispositions at TruAmerica Multifamily, tells GlobeSt.com. “I don’t see a whole bunch of people running out and driving back up to 69%, but you may see that homeownership rate tick up a little bit more in 2018, I think that is something everyone will be keeping their eye on.”
