Midwest Multifamily Market Booming: Is Now the Right Time to Sell?

At the halfway point of the year, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Chicago have all seen rent growth well ahead of the national average.

RealPage economists have picked several apartment markets that they expected would perform well in 2024 earlier this year. Those markets included Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and New York. At the halfway point of the year, the firm took a look at its picks to see how they were doing.

RealPage's picks shared a common theme: limited supply pipelines. That kept many of its top markets ahead of the pack six months into the year. Strong demand is also bolstering Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Chicago, all of which have seen rent growth well ahead of the national average.

San Jose and Washington, D.C., which RealPage predicted would show surprising upside at the start of the year, also have experienced rent growth outpacing national norms. San Jose may be on the cusp of re-securing some job growth due to AI-driven tech improvement, and migration flowing back into the nation's capital has helped support revenue growth, said RealPage.

The firm picked Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, and San Francisco as markets that would face some potential demand challenges. As of mid-year, its predictions have experienced mixed results. Los Angeles and Portland both have struggled to maintain any traction in 2024 as locally sluggish economic growth appears to be holding the markets back, and Portland's annual job loss ranks second-worst among the nation's 50 most populous metro areas. However, Los Angeles has seen modest 0.6% growth despite extremely elevated turnover in Downtown LA and Mid-Wilshire. Los Angeles saw 52% turnover among leases expiring in June 2024, the fourth highest in the country.

The Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth markets both ranked within the nation's top 3 markets for absorption to start the year, pointing to strong demand in those markets. However, at mid-year, rent growth has not materialized in the Texas markets due to large supply volumes. Phoenix also ranks in the top 5 for absorption, yet it has seen persistent rent cuts. Nashville has outperformed to some degree considering the massive local supply figures, said RealPage.

Among its original picks for wild card markets, Atlanta and Tampa have seen performance significantly trail the national average. Atlanta's performance has been impacted by weak rent collections and oversupply, as well as softness in local lease-up properties, with more than a 50% drop in per-property per-month absorption in the first six months of 2024. Newark/Jersey City continues to impress as it appears new supply delivering along the waterfront is attracting some renters who work in Manhattan but are pulled in by the lower rents of Jersey City, according to RealPage.

Is Now the Time to Sell Your Multifamily Asset?

This positive outlook suggests that now might be an opportune moment to consider listing and selling your multifamily asset. By capitalizing on the current market strength, you can potentially maximize your return on investment.

Wheaton Multifamily Redevelopment – eXp Commercial Facilitates $1.475M Adaptive Reuse Success

Wheaton Multifamily Redevelopment Overview

CHICAGO, IL – October 28, 2025 – eXp Commercial, a division of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPI), announced the sale of a redevelopment property at 100 W Roosevelt Road in Wheaton, Illinois, for $1,475,000.
This transaction marks a notable Wheaton multifamily redevelopment, highlighting continued investor demand for suburban adaptive-reuse opportunities across the Chicago metropolitan area.

About the Transaction

The property consists of two approximately 12,000-square-foot office buildings, totaling about 24,000 square feet on 1.2 acres along Roosevelt Road near downtown Wheaton.
The buyer, a local developer, plans to convert the existing office space into 22 modern multifamily units after successful rezoning from office to residential use.

Randolph Taylor, CCIM, Vice President and Multifamily Investment Sales Broker with eXp Commercial’s National Multifamily Division in Chicago, represented the seller.
“This sale demonstrates both market creativity and municipal collaboration,” Taylor said. “Communities like Wheaton are increasingly supporting adaptive-reuse initiatives that add housing diversity while revitalizing established corridors.”

Adaptive Reuse in Chicago’s Suburban Market

The Wheaton project exemplifies the broader trend of adaptive reuse in Chicago’s suburban real-estate market, where underperforming office properties are being repositioned into residential housing.
Located near downtown Wheaton, the site benefits from strong demographics, proximity to retail and dining, and excellent transportation access, making it a prime candidate for suburban multifamily redevelopment.
The project will contribute to the ongoing revitalization of Wheaton’s Roosevelt Road commercial corridor.
