Kidder Mathews Releases 2026 Western U.S. Market Forecast
Kidder Mathews has released its 2026 Western U.S. Market Forecast, providing an in-depth outlook on the economic conditions, structural changes, and sector-specific trends shaping the future of commercial real estate across the region.
The report explores key developments across the office, industrial, retail, and multifamily sectors, identifying areas where market fundamentals are stabilizing, the risks that remain, and the emerging opportunities on the horizon.
In the office sector, the forecast notes signs of a gradual but uneven recovery. Leasing activity is strengthening in select markets, signaling early momentum toward improved performance. The industrial market, which had cooled in recent quarters, is now trending toward increased equilibrium, characterized by steady leasing and stabilizing tenant demand.
Retail continues to show resilience heading into 2026. Positive fundamentals are underpinned by limited new supply, low vacancy rates, and sustained interest from essential and value-focused retailers. Meanwhile, the multifamily sector is experiencing strengthened fundamentals, with vacancies stabilizing, a slowdown in new construction, and a continued uptick in renter demand.
