With fundamentals so strong, multifamily investment interest should also increase in the coming year, but recent reporting has found that investment activity remains below historical averages. Stubbornly-high ten-year treasury yields represent a persistent financing challenge, but the lending environment could improve as the Federal Reserve continues along its path of lower interest rates.
