NMHC Survey: Builders, Developers Optimistic About Long-Term Multifamily Construction Activity https://rebusinessonline.com/nmhc-survey-builders-developers-optimistic-about-long-term-multifamily-construction-activity/ Thu, 09 Jul 2026 13:58:13 +0000 https://rebusinessonline.com/?p=460648 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.…

According to the GSA, the sale is part of an ongoing effort to eliminate costly properties from its asset portfolio. The GSA also recently sold the former Estes Kefauver Federal Building parking garage site in Nashville for $52 million. According to the administration, the Old Post Office Building cost taxpayers approximately $6 million per year prior to 2013, when it was converted into a hotel by the Trump Organization. Since then, the property has received more than $250 million in private-sector investment. “The GSA remains committed to solving long-term problems that exist in the federal portfolio of assets, reducing waste and delivering long-term value to the American people,” the GSA said in a press release.

First-quarter production falls in line with the organization’s 2026 forecast made in February that commercial and multifamily loan originations this year would increase by 27 percent compared to 2025. Among capital sources, the dollar volume of loans originated for investor-driven lenders increased by 133 percent year-over-year in the first quarter. There was also an 80 percent increase in loans for depositories (i.e. banks and credit unions); a 38 percent increase in government-sponsored enterprises (i.e. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac); and a 9 percent increase in life company loans. There was also a14 percent decline in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loans compared to a year ago. “The most notable increase was the 80 percent rise in depository lending, driven in part by the large volume of bank-held loans maturing this year and the need to refinance those positions,” says Reggie Booker, MBA’s associate vice president of commercial research. “The slowdown [from fourth-quarter 2025] is consistent with typical first-quarter seasonality and does not detract from…

The gains in April more than doubled expectations from Dow Jones economists, which CNBC reports forecasted 55,000 new jobs. The U.S. unemployment rate remained unchanged from March at 4.3 percent. Among employment sectors, healthcare saw the biggest jump, adding 37,000 jobs in April. This is on par with its 12-month average monthly gain of 32,000. Within the healthcare segment, job growth occurred most in nursing and residential care (15,000) and home healthcare services (11,000). Other sectors that experienced growth last month include retail trade (22,000) and social assistance (17,000). On the flip side, the federal government continues to shed jobs as the U.S. government cut 9,000 positions last month. Since its peak in October 2024, the federal government is down by 348,000 jobs, or 11.5 percent. Similarly, losses continue for the information sector, with 13,000 jobs lost in April.

As fundamentals remain healthy in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., the region is seeing a notably more selective approach to retail growth. Years of limited new development, zoning constraints and rising construction costs have tightened supply, pushing owners, investors and municipalities to be far more intentional about what gets built — and where. Sources interviewed for this article point to the sustained demand for well-located shopping centers, such as those anchored by strong tenants, daily-needs retailers and dense surrounding populations.“Retail today is about durability,” states Mike Castellitto, chief operating officer of Broad Reach Retail Partners. “Assets that serve essential, repeat-use visitors continue to outperform and attract both tenants and investors.” Shifting consumer preferences in VirginiaFrom Washington, D.C.’s dense suburban corridors to fast-growing secondary markets, Virginia’s retail real estate landscape remains one of the Mid-Atlantic’s steadiest performers. The Commonwealth’s strongest retail fundamentals are often seen in Northern Virginia and select regional hubs like metro Philadelphia, Virginia Beach and Richmond, where household income growth and population density create robust demand.
