Navigating Multifamily CRE in a Volatile Environment Insights from Paul Fiorilla, Director of U.S. Research at Yardi Matrix   Paul Fiorilla offers a data-driven view of today's commercial real estate (CRE) landscape using the vast resources he has at his disposal at Yardi.   While market sentiment may be growing more optimistic, Fiorilla acknowledges investors should separate short-term mood from long-term fundamentals. His perspective, rooted in close analysis of multifamily data and macro conditions, is both pragmatic and cautionary: yes, there's capital on the sidelines and deals are getting done but many investors may be misreading the durability of recent tailwinds and underestimating latent risks.   Short-Term Confidence, Long-Term Industry   Real estate is an inherently long-term, illiquid asset class yet, much of the current market behavior appears to be anchored in short-term confidence (and short term memories). That dissonance should give investors pause. While macroeconomic shocks like tariffs, interest rate hikes, and political uncertainty do not immediately register in quarterly CRE data, their effects compound over time.   Investor sentiment, meanwhile, remains buoyant. Debt markets have resumed activity, stock indices are back near prior highs, and many assume the worst is behind us. But the lagging nature of real estate data means we're still months away from fully seeing the impacts of recent fiscal and geopolitical developments.   Multifamily Fundamentals: A Shifting Landscape   Fiorilla addresses the fundamentals of the multifamily sector, noting that demand has remained strong in recent years, but the distribution of that demand is shifting. Rent growth is no longer universal. Over the past 15 months, metros in the Midwest and Northeast, markets like Chicago and New York, have consistently posted moderate, steady rent growth. In contrast, high-growth Sunbelt cities such as Austin, Atlanta, Nashville, and Salt Lake City are experiencing flat to negative rent trends.   What's driving this bifurcation is primarily supply. In oversupplied markets, absorption hasn't kept pace with new deliveries. Despite a sharp national decline in starts, down approximately 40% year-over-year, the existing pipeline remains heavy. Nationally, over 1.2 million units are either in lease-up or under construction. In high-growth markets, deliveries will continue at elevated levels for the next several years. Some cities may see 12–15% added to their multifamily inventory by 2027.   Fiorilla underscores that while national numbers suggest a tapering of supply, the local realities are more complex. Markets that arguably need more housing, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago for example, are seeing similar slowdowns in new development as oversaturated markets. The result is a continued misalignment between where capital is building and where it's most needed.   The Waning Tailwinds of Demand   Fiorilla also points to softening demand drivers that may soon undermine current assumptions. Over the past several years, demand has been supported by several powerful tailwinds: robust job growth, high immigration, and pandemic-era trends such as household formation and suburban relocation. But these are now tapering.   Net immigration, while still meaningful, is slowing. Job growth has begun to decelerate. Moreover, federal employment cuts and delays in private-sector hiring – driven by political and fiscal uncertainty – are contributing to a weakening outlook for household formation. These are not necessarily signs of imminent distress, but they do suggest that the extraordinary absorption rates of 2021–2022 will be difficult to sustain.   As Fiorilla puts it, “the risks are to the downside.” He's not forecasting a collapse but cautions against overreliance on recent performance when underwriting future deals, particularly in light of ongoing supply pressure.   Policy Risk and the Fragility of Subsidized Housing   Among the more underappreciated risks in the market, Fiorilla emphasizes policy risk, especially in affordable and subsidized housing. He notes that while programs like LIHTC and Opportunity Zones appear safe, others such as Section 8 are under pressure.   Of particular concern are proposals to convert these programs into state-administered block grants. While this may seem like a technocratic shift, it would represent a material change for property owners. Federal guarantees would be replaced by varying state-level funding regimes, increasing payment risk and reducing the predictability that underpins underwriting in the subsidized housing sector. For owners reliant on these programs, even modest payment disruptions could be “catastrophic,” he notes.   Interest Rate Volatility: The Real Pain Point   Turning to capital markets, Fiorilla distinguishes between the level of interest rates and the pace at which they change. Today's rates, he argues, are not historically high. Pre-GFC, rates were often at similar levels. What's destabilizing is the speed of change. A sharp increase from near-zero to 4–5% within a single year has impaired refinancing feasibility and upended underwriting assumptions.   This volatility, not the rates themselves, has created most of the current distress. Borrowers facing refinancing at double or triple the prior coupon are under strain. And yet, transaction activity persists, with many deals still pricing at thin or even negative leverage. Why? Because the #1 driver of compressed cap rates is investor confidence in future cash flows. The belief that rents will continue to rise justifies aggressive pricing – until it doesn't.   This mindset echoes pre-GFC sentiment, where rent growth was taken as a given. Fiorilla is quick to clarify that today's market is not nearly as reckless. Still, elevated pricing in an environment of cooling fundamentals could leave investors dangerously exposed to even mild shocks.   Quiet Distress and the Maturity Wall   Another issue masked by short-term optimism is the growing volume of loan maturities. These include both regularly scheduled maturities and loans previously extended during 2021–2023 that are now reaching their end.   Fiorilla notes that many of these are being addressed quietly. Lenders, reluctant to force asset sales, are working with borrowers on a case-by-case basis. The result: distress is real, but it's largely invisible. There's little evidence of forced portfolio liquidations or widespread delinquencies – yet.   The availability of capital, particularly for multifamily, is helping to buffer these pressures. There's no shortage of dry powder. But absent a sharp rate reversal or improved clarity from policymakers, the sector could see a slow bleed of marginal deals rather than a systemic reset.   Underappreciated Geopolitical Risk   One of the most thought-provoking parts of the conversation concerns CRE's growing sensitivity to global and political dynamics. This is a structural change. The U.S. has long benefited from its role as a stable, rule-of-law jurisdiction. But shifts in foreign policy, trade restrictions, and political dysfunction are beginning to weigh on foreign investment.   Declining Canadian cross-border investment and tighter restrictions on visa travel are, in part, evidence of this shift. These aren't headline stories but they are meaningful. If the U.S. loses its perception as a reliable haven for capital, CRE pricing could face downward pressure from shrinking foreign demand. This is a long-term trend worth monitoring closely, not a transitory blip.   What He's Watching   When asked what indicators he watches most closely, Fiorilla points to three primary metrics: Occupancy Rates – Particularly in high-supply markets. Stabilized occupancy below 94% would be an early warning sign. Absorption Trends – A sustained drop in household formation or leasing activity could signal weakening demand. Employment Data – Job losses, especially if broad-based, would ripple into rent growth and occupancy. He also monitors transaction volume as a proxy for investor confidence. If deal flow freezes again, that would signal a recalibration of forward expectations.   Final Reflection   While Fiorilla resists giving investment advice, his closing thoughts reflect a conservative posture. He's not sitting on the sidelines entirely but he's not rushing in either. Caution, portfolio balance, and realistic expectations are the guiding principles.   For CRE professionals, this conversation is a reminder to look past sentiment and dig into the data and the fundamentals: local supply pipelines, policy shifts, interest rate trends, and the fragility of assumptions underpinning future rent growth. The macro backdrop is far from stable and the margin for error, even in multifamily, may be thinner than it appears.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

The opportunity zones (OZ) incentive remains a versatile tool in the workshop of community development, housing production and renewable energy generation. In this week's episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, host Michael Novogradac, CPA, and guest Brent Parker, CPA, discuss the intersection of the OZ incentive with other tax incentives, including renewable energy tax credits (RETCs) such as the investment tax credit (ITC) and production tax credit (PTC), low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs), new markets tax credits (NMTCs) and historic tax credits (HTCs). Parker and Novogradac discuss some of the benefits and challenges of combining OZs with these other financial tools, including discussing various types of transaction structures. The two talk about the possibilities for the incentive before the Dec. 31, 2026, expiration to realize capital gains, which may see an extension after its inclusion in the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee's reconciliation budget proposal this week.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the annual rent and income limits April 1 for property managers to apply when renting properties financed by low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity as well as HUD programs such as Section 8, Section 202 and Section 811. In this week's episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, host Michael Novogradac, CPA, and guest Thomas Stagg, CPA, one of Novogradac and the nation's leading experts in rent and income limits, discuss three key takeaways from this year's release.

Compliance requirements come in a variety of shapes and sizes for affordable rental housing property managers using incentives such as the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC), HOME Investment Partnerships Program, tax-exempt bonds, project-based rental assistance (PBRA) programs, public housing and property tax exemptions. In this week's episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, host Michael Novogradac, CPA, and guest Stephanie Naquin discuss the three key steps when qualifying tenants to live in affordable housing properties: Screen, verify and certify. Later, Naquin and Novogradac discuss the emerging issues around property tax exemption compliance.

Twinning or sidecar financing that pairs the federal historic rehabilitation tax credit (HTC) with other tax incentives can be a crucial strategy to finance the renovation and redevelopment of some the nation's historic buildings. In the latest episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, host Michael Novogradac, CPA, and guest Michael Kressig, CPA, discuss some of the benefits and hurdles that come with blending federal HTCs with other tax incentives such as the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC), new markets tax credit (NMTC), opportunity zone (OZ) incentive, renewable energy tax credits (RETC) and state HTCs. Novogradac and Kressig discuss how often each of the various incentives is used in combination with the federal HTC as well as how often Kressig sees transactions with three or more of the subsidies.

Localities'whether cities, townships or counties'are crucial "partners" in low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) transactions. While not an actual member of the partnership, localities play a major role in the ability to fund affordable housing properties. In this week's episode of Tax Credit Tuesday, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Mark Shelburne, a housing policy consultant at Novogradac, discuss the roles localities play in LIHTC-financed housing, both for them and for the developers who work with them. They begin by discussing the various ways localities are involved in those transactions, then discuss how they play a role in funding the property, including what to avoid. After that, Novogradac and Shelburne examine nonfinancial ways that localities can help and the role of localities in helping properties meet timelines and deadlines.

Two important financing options when building affordable housing are 4% and 9% low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs). In the latest episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, host Michael Novogradac, CPA, and guest Charlie Rhuda, CPA, discuss developers that chose to combine the incentives in a single development, sometimes called "sidecar financing" due to the nature of the financing structure. They provide an overview of the difference between the financing tools and discuss why affordable housing professionals would combine them. Later, Rhuda identifies four types of challenges that can arise for those using the sidecar financing model to develop affordable housing.

Rental income and operating expenses both set records and increased at rates higher than the consumer price index for housing in 2023, according to data in the 2024 Novogradac Operating Income and Expenses Report. In this week's podcast, Michael Novogradac and report author Kelly Gorman, a partner in Novogradac's Clark, New Jersey, office, discuss the findings of the report and what affordable housing operators should learn from them. They look at the overall increases, then drill down on specifics about property insurance, repairs and maintenance and utility expenses, including what caused increases and whether trends were likely to continue in 2024 and 2025. They also look at the effect of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rent and income limits and discuss expense categories that vary depending on geography.

An apparent sweep by Republicans of the White House and both chambers of Congress in the Nov. 5 election has major implications for community development tax incentives such as the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC), new markets tax credit (NMTC), historic tax credit (HTC), renewable energy tax credits (RETCs) and the opportunity zones (OZ) incentive. In this week's Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Peter Lawrence, Novogradac's director of public policy and government relations, discuss the election's outcome and preview what to expect in coming months. They begin by looking at the chances for community development tax incentives to be included in year-end legislation, then examine who will lead tax-writing committees in the next Congress before moving on to the reasons and chances for the "Super Bowl of taxes." After that, they examine the outlook for various tax incentives in tax legislation. Novogradac and Lawrence will co-host a special webinar on the election results Nov. 19.

Financial forecasts are essential for every affordable housing developer to anticipate expenses, cash flow and access to capital to build or redevelop properties, including developments built using low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity. In the latest installment of the Novogradac Tax Credit Tuesday podcast's recurring "So You Want to Be a LIHTC Developer" series, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Miao Xue, CPA, delve into six ways that developers can enhance the benefits of financial forecasts. Novogradac and Xue introduce credit adjusters and twinning LIHTCs with renewable energy investment tax credits (ITCs) as well as digging deeper into four areas'development budget and eligible basis schedule, sources and uses and 15-year cash flow waterfall, the taxable income and loss schedule, and income and loss allocations and the Section 704(b) capital schedule'covered in a previous financial forecast-focused installment of "So You Want to Be a LIHTC Developer."

Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac director of multifamily property compliance Stephanie Naquin discuss pressing issues in low-income housing tax credit property (LIHTC) compliance.

The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) administers state and federal housing programs in Kansas, including the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is a federal program meant to encourage the development of rental housing for low-income individuals. The federal government requires KHRC to monitor housing developments that have been awarded LIHTC to ensure they comply with applicable rules. KHRC has a detailed compliance monitoring process to ensure that development owners comply with federal and state rules and meet all of the requirements they agreed to when they received LIHTC. Although KHRC's compliance monitoring process is extensive, most of the process is required by federal rules or is otherwise necessary for them to appropriately oversee the program. However, we did find two minor areas where KHRC's requirements are not necessary to meet a state or federal rules, a best practice, or an internal control. Additionally, developers who responded to our survey generally reported that KHRC's compliance monitoring process was easy to complete. Last, we found that KHRC's reserve amounts and land use restrictive covenant terms were applied consistently across the 16 projects we reviewed.
