In this talk by John L. Glascock, PhD, from the University of Connecticut, we explore three key trends affecting multi-family housing. 1. The slow recovery of single-family housing is pushing demand for apartments. 2. Job market uncertainties continue to limit market recovery, affecting multi-family housing stability. 3. Decreasing income and wealth levels are increasing reliance on multi-family living. Additionally, younger generations are delaying marriage and home ownership, leading to a rise in rental demand. These trends reveal important insights for the future of multi-family housing.

REFI Multi-HousingThree Key Trends • John L. Glascock, PhD, RICs • Director, Connecticut • Center for Real Estate • University of Connecticut
Some thoughts on Housing—Near and Far • 1. Single family Housing is not recovering quickly—this pushes apartments • 2. Jobs are not back yet—uncertainty pushes multi-family • 3. INCOME is really down. So is wealth! These both push multi-family • 4. The YOUNG—college grads—are marrying and buying later: this again pushes multi-family
1.a. Housing Spending is STILL DOWN! • When Housing is 40% below recent norms. • The average college educated family now is married by 30 and has their first child by 32! • MORE rentals and fewer Owner-occupied.
2. Jobs are not back federal employment is still down too! • Jobs are not fully back • High value added jobs are still declining—the jobs that are back are low income jobs
Young Marrying Later • Typical college grad today gets married at 30…thus ownership will come later • All of these factors favor multi-family
