LOS ANGELES—The State of the Industry panel at the GlobeSt. Multifamily Fall Conference on Monday brought together the most influential dealmakers in the U.S. multifamily real estate market to cover key trends, major market shifts, the impacts of inflation on the multifamily sector and more.
Moderator John Sebree, Senior Vice President and National Director of Multifamily at Marcus & Millichap, took center stage with a question that had been on everyone's mind. "Velocity has dropped off substantially, and there seems to be a lot of liquidity on the sidelines. What do we think it will take for some of this money to start getting back into the marketplace?"
Jerome Fink, Managing Partner of The Bascom Group LLC, was quick to share his perspective. "The past year has been pretty devastating for our business," he began. "There has been a huge increase in borrowing costs combined with flat or negative rent growth. Not only high interest rates, but the leverage is low. That is why prices are down across the market."
