Active Adult properties provide an ideal community for many baby boomers: Active Adult offers the opportunity to access home equity and live a more convenient lifestyle for the many boomers that do not need or cannot afford Assisted Living or In-Home Health Aides.

The unique profile of Active Adult 55+ communities is excellent for investors. Residents of Active Adult communities are generally financially secure and remain in place longer than multifamily renters.

A lack of new supply of Active Adult communities, combined with a wave of baby boomers reaching the target age demographic, points to a highly undersupplied market with demand outpacing supply for years to come.

    Takeaways:

    • The multifamily market is witnessing a dramatic adjustment. National vacancy readings leveled off for the first time in three years in Q3 2024, as new unit deliveries slowed and a growing pool of renters leased up available units.
    • New unit deliveries are projected to decline further. CoStar data shows a 55% reduction in expected unit completions in 2025, and permit issuance reveals a continued thinning of the supply pipeline thereafter.
    • Demand is increasing as several forces unleash pent up need for rental units. In contrast to renting, purchasing a home continues to represent an expensive and unattractive alternative.
    • As the supply of new units continues to decline and increased demand for rentals absorbs the current available inventory, leverage will continue to shift in favor of multifamily landlords and investors.

    Real estate provides enhanced benefits for an investor when included with other assets as part of portfolio allocation. The reason behind this outsized benefit is twofold:

    • first, real estate adds a diversified return stream that bolsters the average annualized return to the portfolio;
    • second, and crucially, real estate reduces the variability of returns to a portfolio by adding a non-correlated asset that dampens the price swings from other asset classes and reduces the chances of a loss of value while maintaining the level of expected return.
