from Hot Not CRE · host Hot Not CRE

Episode 51 of What's Hot, What's Not C.R.E. — your daily commercial real estate market briefing. Today's Topic: Residential & Multifamily — Today's Most Relevant Data 🔥 What's Hot: • Supply relief arriving — deliveries dropping from 315,000 to 260,000 units (17% decline) • Under-construction pipeline down 47% from peak to 690,000 units • Construction starts fell 40% between 2023-2025 • National vacancy peaked at 7.3%, plateauing around 8.5% through mid-year • San Jose leading — 4.6% vacancy with 0.6% rent growth in February • Grand Rapids one of the tightest markets nationally • Chicago, New York, Philadelphia remain resilient • MBA projects multifamily originations up 21% YoY — capital is flowing ❄️ What's Not: • Sun Belt still correcting — Nashville, Charlotte, Tampa, Houston, Austin, Orlando all saw rent declines (0.1-0.2% in February) • Class A vacancy as high as 11.1% • 38% of properties offering concessions • Salt Lake City in full "concession mode" • National rent growth sluggish — $1,716 average, up just 0.1% from December • Annual growth slowed to 0.4%, down from 0.6% in January 💡 Why It Matters: The market is normalizing, not accelerating. Supply pressure is easing but vacancy won't drop below 8% until 2027 or 2028. The 2026 story is stabilization and rebalancing — not rapid rent growth. 🎯 Investor Takeaway: Focus on supply-constrained markets: San Jose, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Northeast metros. Avoid oversupplied Sun Belt. Underwrite for 1-2% rent growth. Deals must pencil on current fundamentals — not hope. 🌐 Visit hotnotcre.com to learn more and subscribe to our newsletter. #CRE #CommercialRealEstate #Multifamily #WorkforceHousing #ClassBMultifamily #ClassAMultifamily #RealEstateInvesting #ApartmentInvesting #MultifamilyInvesting #SunBelt #Midwest #Northeast #PropertyInvesting #RealEstate2026 #InvestorTips #CashFlow #RealEstateMarket #MarketUpdate #OccupancyRates #RentGrowth #DataCenters #Industrial #BuildToRent #BTR #InstitutionalInvestment #CapitalFlows #SmartMoney #CREInvesting #InvestorOutlook #10YearTreasury #InterestRates #CapRates #DealFlow #TransactionVolume #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #SanJose #GrandRapids #Chicago

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
