NMHC Survey: Builders, Developers Optimistic About Long-Term Multifamily Construction Activity

by John Nelson

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Multifamily developers and construction firms surveyed by the NMHC are optimistic about long-term multifamily construction conditions. According to results of the June 2026 NMHC Quarterly Survey of Apartment Construction & Development Activity, 46 percent of respondents expect conditions to improve (or easier to build) over the next six to 12 months compared to 14 percent of survey takers who expect conditions to worsen. The rest of the respondents either chose conditions to remain the same (35 percent) or “don’t know” (5 percent). The optimism from the second-quarter survey could be in part due to the availability of financing. Fifty-one percent of survey takers expect equity to become more available (compared to 10 percent expecting equity to become less available) over the next six to 12 months, and 28 percent expecting debt financing to become more available (compared to 7 percent expecting debt financing to become less available). While the survey takers were overall hopeful, they are wary of rising construction costs. A majority of respondents (51 percent) expect material costs to rise in line with inflation over the next six to 12 months, while 27 percent expect material costs to increase faster than the rate of inflation. …
