Not many commercial brokers branch out to start their own brokerages. But in 2015, Kyle Matthews did.

At a time when some asset classes (hint: multifamily and office) are struggling across the Sun Belt, Matthews thinks there's never been a better time for brokers to take on this role.

The Real Deal's Deconstruct chatted with Matthews about how values dropping presents an opportunity for buyers and what he's predicting across the Sun Belt in 2024.

Two years back, when money was still cheap, a new crop of investors was getting in on the red-hot multifamily market.

Nuvo Capital Partners' Brian Underdahl discusses the catalysts behind that boom and how his firm is working with borrowers to save troubled deals.

The Real Deal — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 08:15:00 -0500

What goes up must come down, right? That’s one of the myths that has followed the Sun Belt’s multifamily market for decades, says Real Page Chief Economist Jay Parsons.

In practice, though, the Sun Belt has proved itself a market as or more resilient than many coastal cities. Here’s the rundown on why 2023 will likely be no different.

Is Multifamily Set to Cool Down?

The Real Deal — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 07:00:00 -0400

Multifamily was the most popular asset class for commercial real estate investors in the first quarter. This popularity was fueled by extraordinary rent growth and historically low interest rates.
