Multifamily Mortgage Rates – September 2024 Update

Staying on top of multifamily mortgage rates is critical for real estate investors seeking to optimize their investments. As of September 2024, notable adjustments in rates present both challenges and opportunities in the multifamily market. Understanding these changes can help property owners make informed decisions, whether they are looking to refinance, acquire new properties, or reassess their current financial strategies.

Key Rate Changes for September 2024

• Bank Rates for 5-year terms have decreased by 12 basis points, now at 6.80%. This presents an opportunity for investors to secure favorable terms for refinancing or new acquisitions.
• Agency Rates have fallen by 7 basis points, now at 5.12%. These rates are typically advantageous for larger properties, providing stability and competitive terms for long-term investments.
• Agency SBL Rates (Small Balance Loans) have increased by 20 basis points, now at 5.89%. These loans target smaller properties and offer an efficient solution for investors dealing with properties under specific loan amounts.
• CMBS Rates dropped by 40 basis points, now at 6.62%. This decrease makes CMBS loans attractive for larger, more complex multifamily deals that require flexible repayment structures.

These shifts in multifamily mortgage rates are important to monitor, as they influence the cost of borrowing and ultimately the profitability of real estate investments.

Understanding Your Loan Options

• Agency loans offer stability with long-term, fixed rates. These are ideal for institutional investors or those looking to hold onto larger properties for extended periods.
• Agency SBL loans target smaller multifamily properties, typically offering competitive rates for properties under certain loan balances. They are designed for more modest-sized assets, but with the same benefits of Agency loans.
• CMBS loans (Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities) are an excellent choice for investors looking for more flexibility in repayment terms, especially when dealing with larger, more complex deals. These loans are structured through securities and can offer unique advantages for certain financial strategies.

How This Affects Investors

The current changes in multifamily mortgage rates provide an excellent opportunity for investors to review their financing strategies. Whether you’re considering refinancing an existing loan or purchasing a new multifamily property, now might be the time to lock in favorable terms. Given the recent adjustments, working with a knowledgeable capital partner can ensure you make the most of these market conditions.

Chicago Multifamily Market Q2 2024: Key Insights for Property Owners

The Chicago multifamily market in Q2 2024 remains stable, offering property owners opportunities for strong rental performance, low vacancy rates, and sustained investor demand. Whether you’re considering refinancing, holding your property, or exploring a potential sale, these insights will help you understand the current market conditions.

Key Metrics for Chicago Multifamily Properties

1. Consistent Rent Growth

Rents in the Chicago metro market have continued to grow steadily. In Q2 2024, average asking rents rose to $1,780 per unit, marking a 3.6% increase year-over-year. This sustained growth reflects strong tenant demand across the metro area. Projections suggest rents will continue to rise, reaching $1,796 per unit by the end of 2024, offering further potential for income optimization.

2. Low Vacancy Rates Support Cash Flow Stability

Vacancy rates across the Chicago metro market have improved to 4.7%, ensuring steady occupancy and cash flow for property owners. The lower vacancy rate in Class B/C properties (at 2.9%) indicates particularly high demand for mid-tier assets, while Class A properties experience slightly higher vacancies at 8.6%. This difference highlights opportunities to maximize returns in properties catering to the broader rental market.

3. Investment Activity and Sales Trends

The Chicago multifamily market continues to attract significant investor interest. In Q2 2024, total transaction volume reached $442.79 million, with notable deals in key metro locations. The average cap rate for multifamily properties is 5.9%, indicating competitive bidding for quality assets. Major transactions include 1326 S Michigan Ave ($144 million) and 850 N Lake Shore Dr ($79.75 million), reflecting strong market confidence.

4. Limited New Construction Prevents Oversupply

New construction in the Chicago multifamily market remains restrained, with only 0.3% annual inventory growth. This minimal growth helps maintain a healthy balance between supply and demand, ensuring that existing properties face less competition from new developments. This trend supports rent increases and maintains occupancy stability, providing property owners with a favorable market environment.

Market Outlook for the Rest of 2024

Looking ahead, rental demand in the Chicago metro market is expected to remain strong, with projected rent growth pushing average asking rents to $1,796 by year-end. Vacancy rates are likely to stay stable at around 5%, creating a favorable outlook for property owners. Investors remain active, providing opportunities to assess your asset's value for refinancing or potential sale.
