John Sebree, Head of Real Estate Investment Sales at Lument, returns from the GlobeSt. Multifamily Owners Summit with his perspective on how the multifamily market has evolved through the first half of 2026. In this brief outlook, Sebree discusses the industry’s adjustment to a higher-rate environment, the continued resilience of multifamily fundamentals, and why expectations for widespread distress have largely failed to materialize.
Sebree also explores the trends shaping investment decisions today, including improving occupancy, steady rent growth, and the importance of evaluating opportunities at the submarket level. While the pace of recovery remains measured, he explains why disciplined investors who focus on local market dynamics and long-term fundamentals are finding reasons for optimism in the months ahead.
