**DFW Multifamily Sector Remains “Dynamic” for Investors, According to Marcus & Millichap**
Marcus & Millichap has released its 2026 Dallas-Fort Worth Multifamily Investment Forecast Report, highlighting the region’s continued strength as a top-tier investment market for multifamily housing.
“Dallas-Fort Worth’s multifamily sector remains one of the most dynamic in the nation, with strategic submarket shifts and moderating vacancy supporting continued investor interest,” said Mark McCoy, Managing Director and DFW Market Leader at Marcus & Millichap.
**Key Findings from the Report Include:**
– Mid-tier assets located in suburban submarkets such as Denton, Arlington-Mansfield, and North Fort Worth-Keller are poised for success, driven by strong alignment between new resident demand and the pace of upcoming housing supply.
– The region continues to attract both investors and corporate relocations, with more than 300 multifamily transactions completed in the past year. Many of these deals surpassed $20 million in value.
– DFW is projected to add approximately 25,000 new jobs in 2026, tying it with New York and Philadelphia for the largest employment gains among major U.S. markets.
– Apartment inventory growth is expected to moderate to 21,000 units, a significant reduction from recent years. Nonetheless, DFW remains among the 10 fastest-growing major apartment markets in the nation.
– Vacancy rates are forecast to decline by 80 basis points, reaching 5.9 percent by 2026. At the same time, average effective rents are projected to rise 1.8 percent, bringing monthly rents to an average of $1,540.
These findings underscore the Metroplex’s robust fundamentals and continued appeal among multifamily investors, even as the broader market adjusts to evolving economic conditions.
