We survey contacts about the supply and demand of multi-family assets for sale, development activity, construction costs, cap rates, development returns, the financing environment and other topical items. Combining the takeaways from our operations survey, we lay out our expectations for multi-family total returns.

Ivy Zelman spoke with Jon Fortt and Morgan L Brennan at CNBC to discuss Lennar earnings and the state of the housing sector. "We need rates to come down, we need to see affordability improve. One of the metrics that we reported on for our May survey was that credit overall is showing some cautionary red flags for the consumer so I think we need rates to come down to make the monthly payment more affordable and consumers to feel like they're getting value," Zelman explained.
