During the same period, the asking rent rose 2.1 percent to $26.47 per square foot, according to Marcus & Millichap.

by Sarah Daniels January 29, 2020

Gregg Gerken, head of U.S. Commercial Real Estate at TD Bank, appreciates what millennials have done for the nation’s multifamily market. Factors contributing to multifamily’s success in recent years include millennials’ desire to live close to where they work and play, their tendency to delay marriage and kids and their social preferences that often involve roommates or the sharing economy. However, millennials are growing up — and many are aging out of the rental market. For many, those delayed life milestones are upon them. Other generations are waiting in the wings, but will they be enough to sustain the current level of multifamily supply and demand? Gerken tackles all of this and more in the Q&A below. Finance Insight (FI): Multifamily has been a strong performer for a while now. Do you expect this to continue in 2020 and beyond, particularly as millennials start to enter their traditional marrying and childbearing years? Gerken: For 2020, multifamily will continue to be a strong performer. When you look at the long-term demographic trends, however, this activity will trail off a bit as the millennial generation starts to age out of the key renter cohort, which is between the ages of 25 and …
