"This is consistent with the overwhelming strength of the entire housing industry this year," NAHB president Kent Conine notes. "It's clear that the investment community sees growth in store for multifamily as rising employment allows new households to form." Multifamily stocks have shown increases consistently over the last four years. "Investors are looking at multifamily companies as good long-term investments and, despite some weakness in the rental market over the past two years, these stocks continue to perform very well."
