The Multifamily Market Reset: Challenges & Opportunities

If you’ve been following the multifamily real estate market, you know things have been… a bit of a rollercoaster since 2022. Some investors are feeling the pressure, others are seeing opportunities—but one thing is clear: this is a market that rewards those who stay informed and ready to act.

Here’s the story in simple terms:

Interest rates spiked. The Fed raised rates 11 times in just 16 months, making borrowing more expensive and putting pressure on property values.
Property values dropped. Deals purchased in 2022 are now worth 20%–40% less, and distressed properties—those with low occupancy or high expenses—took an even bigger hit.
Bridge loans are coming due. Many 2022 deals relied on 3-year bridge loans, and as they mature in 2025, owners face a tough choice:
- Refinance? That usually means putting in a lot of new money.
- Sell? That could lock in big losses—sometimes wiping out the whole investment.

Here’s what the market looks like today

Take a look at the current landscape of distressed bridge loans. The two largest slices—red and purple—make up almost two-thirds of the market:

Performing Matured (blue – 32.3%): Loans that have expired but are still being paid while lenders hold off on calling the principal.
Non-Performing Matured (orange – 33.1%): Loans that have expired, borrowers stopped paying, and lenders haven’t enforced repayment yet.

In other words, a lot of owners are stuck. They can’t refinance easily, and selling now might mean taking a big hit.

So… what does this mean for investors?

Here’s the exciting part: this environment is tough for current owners—but for disciplined investors, it creates opportunities you don’t see every day:

Forced sales = discounted deals. Sellers who have to move quickly are offering high-quality properties at lower prices.
Downturns = wealth-building windows. Some of the biggest fortunes in real estate were built during periods like this, when others were forced to exit.
Diversification protects you. Spreading capital across multiple deals, property types (multifamily, storage, MHPs, notes), and locations reduces risk while keeping your options open.

Whether you’re experienced, just getting started, or somewhere in between, this is a time to stay alert, think strategically, and have capital ready.

The bottom line

The current multifamily market isn’t the end—it’s a reset. Investors who are ready, patient, and diversified will be positioned to capture the upside when stability returns. As Warren Buffett reminds us: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Right now? It’s a window where disciplined investors can take advantage while others are stuck.
