As Homeownership Declines, Demand for Rental Housing To Climb

A report by Middleburg Communities projects a decline in homeownership to 20-year lows and a subsequent rise in the demand for multifamily housing.

A drop in homeownership rates will fuel a significant increase in demand for rental housing over the next five years, according to a study released by apartment properties acquisition and management company Middleburg Communities.

The June 11 report projects a decline in U.S. homeownership to 62.1%, the lowest rate in more than 20 years, before a partial recovery to 63.6% in 2025.
