CHICAGO — Chicago-based Origin Investments forecasts that year-over-year national Class-A apartment rent growth will normalize by January 2025 and range from 2 to 3 percent, in keeping with historical rent growth averages. However, Origin also cautions that “unquantifiable risks” loom large over the market and could have broad implications for multifamily properties. The findings are from the company’s Multilytics Rent Growth Forecast Report. “The return to normalization has been expected because the rent growth levels of 2021 and 2022 were unsustainable. We are now paying for the distortions of the past,” says David Scherer, co-CEO of Origin. “The fact that many markets are returning to positive year-over-year growth is somewhat misleading,” says Ryan Brown, a data scientist with Origin. “While a given market may achieve 3 to 4 percent growth, you also have to consider the negative growth in 2023.

It will take longer to move beyond that peak.” Origin also says that rent growth in 2024 faces numerous potential threats because of current economic conditions and uncertainties. For example, an increase in unemployment and lower wage growth trends, …
