Inflation and the labor shortage are the biggest headwinds, but most of the negative ramifications from those matters won\u2019t be felt until 2023 or later,\u201d states the new report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asking rents rose 13.5 percent nationally in 2021. Anticipated rent growth for 2022 is less than 5 percent, according to Matrix. Economic growth is also expected to step back from the roughly 6 percent increase it recorded last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerns about oversupply have also so far proven to be unfounded and builders are ramping up for new projects nationwide. As of the beginning of 2022, more than 750,000 market-rate apartment units were under construction, with about half expected for delivery this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardimatrix.com\/publications\/download\/file\/1400-MatrixMultifamilyNationalReport-Winter2022?signup=false\">Learn more about what\u2019s expected for multifamily in 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi&nbsp;Matrix offers the industry\u2019s most comprehensive market intelligence tool for investment professionals, equity investors, lenders and property managers who underwrite and manage investments in commercial real estate.
