Orlando Multifamily Poised for Strong Second Half of 2025, Momentum Heading Into 2026

by John Nelson September 15, 2025

Orlando’s multifamily investment market hit an inflection point in the first half of 2025. Insurance rates and construction starts tapered, and we’ve started to see cap rate compression and signs of rent growth. Our traditional, “household name” and institutional multifamily buyers are back in the market and at the top of the bid sheet. Additionally, investors are showing a strong interest in and appetite for build-to-rent (BTR) communities as that subsector continues to gain favor. It’s a significant improvement from where we were, coming off the post-pandemic roller coaster ride that saw record years for multifamily investment and pricing in 2021 and 2022 followed by interest rate spikes, cap-rate spikes and all coinciding with higher construction costs, skyrocketing insurance costs and a supply glut. Of course, Orlando is one of the fastest growing metros in the United States, so new multifamily supply is certainly needed as the region grows in terms of population and affluence. Orlando’s population is expected to hit 3 million this year, with the metro area adding 1,500 new residents per week, according to the Census Bureau. What’s more, year-over-year median household income grew 3.6 percent year-over-year. It’s no surprise that the region continues to rank among …
