Demand, Economic Pressures Sink Multifamily Rents, Yardi Matrix Reports

New Yardi Matrix research reveals that faltering demand, high supply and declining economic growth combined in September 2025 to produce the biggest one-month drop in the average U.S. multifamily rent in almost three years.

The average advertised rent fell $6 to $1,750, the largest decrease since November 2022. While rents remain close to their all-time highs, “the drop could signal emerging market softness,” according to a new Yardi Matrix national report.

A key contributor to the slump is the presence of more than half a million units in the lease-up phase, which intensifies competition among properties. Several high-supply metros including Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Dallas and Austin, Texas, recorded negative year-over-year rent growth in September.

Another factor was an economy with rising unemployment and only 22,000 new jobs in August. Consumer anxiety “is concerning for multifamily, given the link between consumer confidence and household formation,” the report says, although a recent Federal Reserve short-term interest rate cut and potential future cuts could help stabilize conditions.
