AMBLER, PA. — Mortgage bankers and investment sales brokers alike expect multifamily markets in the Southeast to record more investment and financing activity than any other region in 2018. In Berkadia’s inaugural poll of nearly 150 staffers across 60 offices, the company reveals that more than one-third (36 percent) of its respondents predict the Southeast would see the most deals take place this year. “Population influx, continued job growth and significant development stabilization will make the Southeast a destination for commercial real estate growth and investor appetite in the coming months,” says Ernie Katai, executive vice president and head of production at Ambler-based Berkadia. For example, the Atlanta metro area is on track to add 2.5 million people over the next 25 years, the equivalent of adding the entire metro Charlotte population, according to the Atlanta Regional Commission.
