Our Reviews
2025 New York Multifamily Loan Market Overview
As the Federal Reserve initiated rate hikes in 2022, the apartment and New York multifamily loan markets transitioned from rapid growth to a more restrained environment. By late 2024, signs of stabilization emerged; however, the outlook for 2025 remains cautious. Select Commercial Funding continues to monitor conditions closely, especially as higher Treasury yields and tightening financial conditions shape the landscape for apartment and New York multifamily loans.
Sales Market Recovery with Caution
Following a prolonged decline in sales volume and values, the apartment sales market has shown signs of thawing, though challenges persist. The Federal Reserve's September 2024 rate cut initially sparked renewed activity; however, the 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 4.469% as of November 5, 2024, adding uncertainty. While some sellers are accepting price adjustments from 2021 highs, higher borrowing costs could temper momentum.
The graph highlights the interplay between declining New York multifamily sales volume and rising Treasury yields. A peak in 2021 ($18 billion) was followed by a gradual decline through 2022 ($14 billion) and 2023 ($11.7 billion), culminating in a significant dip in Q3 2024 ($730 million). Simultaneously, the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed from 1.3% in 2021 to over 4.43% by late 2024, signaling higher borrowing costs. Select Commercial Funding continues to monitor New York apartment loans and multifamily loans, helping clients navigate opportunities in this evolving landscape.
Debt Financing and Access to Capital
Improved financing conditions in mid-2024 allowed for a slight easing in New York apartment building financing, as reflected in NMHC's survey where respondents reported better availability of debt options. However, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing from 1.3% in 2021 to 4.43% by 2024, access to affordable New York multifamily financing remains a concern for investors navigating this dynamic market.
The graph illustrates the interplay between debt availability and rising Treasury yields. While mid-2024 saw a modest improvement in financing conditions (Debt Availability Index reaching 60), the broader trend from 2021 reflects challenges due to escalating borrowing costs. Select Commercial Funding specializes in New York apartment loans and multifamily loans, offering customized solutions to help clients overcome the hurdles posed by fluctuating debt markets.
Apartment Demand in a Shifting Labor Market
Apartment demand continues to benefit from a stable labor market, though recent economic indicators highlight potential headwinds. The ongoing retirement of Baby Boomers has created opportunities for younger generations, but elevated borrowing costs may constrain affordability. The graph illustrates the relationship between a relatively stable Apartment Demand Index (averaging 87) and rising Treasury yields, which have climbed from 1.3% in 2021 to 4.43% by 2024.
Despite challenges, Select Commercial Funding has observed steady interest in New York apartment loans and multifamily loan options, reflecting the need for housing solutions that adapt to changing labor and economic conditions. We remain committed to supporting clients as these dynamics evolve.
Absorption Rates and Occupancy Projections
High demand for apartment units has driven strong absorption rates in 2024, reaching 7.0%, slightly above the average of the previous three years. Occupancy rates, while stable, have slightly declined from 94.5% in 2021 to 94.0% in 2024, reflecting increased competition in high-supply areas. These trends impact New York apartment building financing strategies, as developers and owners must adapt to changing conditions in competitive markets.
Moody's projects that 2025 will remain a relatively strong year for demand, yet caution may prevail in regions with high inventory growth. The graph illustrates the interplay between stable absorption rates and occupancy levels over time. Select Commercial Funding offers a range of New York multifamily commercial real estate loan options to help clients manage multifamily financing needs, even in a potentially tempered demand environment.
Operational Efficiency Amidst Rising Costs
As supply increases in certain regions (such as Downtown Nashville, Austin, Seattle, and Charlotte), effective management and strong branding will be essential to attract residents. The graph illustrates the steady rise in operating costs, indexed from 100 in 2021 to 115 in 2024, while net operating income (NOI) has declined from 100 to 93 over the same period, reflecting the impact of constrained New York multifamily financing conditions.
In this environment, properties facing operational challenges may present opportunities for experienced buyers who can optimize performance with New York apartment building loan options. Select Commercial Funding collaborates with apartment lenders and multifamily lenders to provide tailored solutions, helping investors adapt and succeed amidst rising costs.
Outlook: Gradual Stabilization Amid Interest Rate Pressures
While the initial outlook for 2025 was optimistic, higher Treasury yields have introduced caution to market expectations. The graph highlights a decline in the New York multifamily loan growth index from 100 in 2021 to 90 in 2023, with a slight recovery forecasted to 94 in 2025. Simultaneously, the 10-year Treasury yield has steadily climbed from 1.3% in 2021 to an expected 4.5% in 2025, reflecting sustained borrowing cost pressures that impact New York apartment building loans and multifamily financing opportunities.
With interest rates still elevated, a more gradual stabilization may unfold. Select Commercial Funding remains focused on supporting investors with a range of multifamily commercial real estate loan options and partnerships with multifamily lenders to help manage in this dynamic market. Success will likely favor well-prepared, flexible operators who can adapt to changing conditions and capitalize on available financing opportunities.
2024 New York Multifamily Loan and Market Trends
As the multifamily market adjusts to a more predictable interest rate environment, transaction activities in the New York Multifamily Loan market are aligning more closely with historical norms. After several years of unprecedented trading volumes, last year's transactions settled at levels similar to those seen in 2014, a considerable slowdown from the peaks of 2021-2022. This shift has been primarily due to higher interest rates, which expanded the price expectation gap between buyers and sellers and slowed rent growth. Additionally, elevated vacancy rates and increased operating costs have also contributed to this trend, leading many property owners to delay selling and extend their holding periods.
The anticipated flood of properties hitting the market, driven by maturing debts and stricter refinancing rates, did not occur, leaving significant capital allocated for acquiring distressed properties largely unutilized. However, as the market adjusts to the stabilizing but elevated interest rate landscape, the New York Apartment Loan market is expected to regain momentum gradually, offering new opportunities for multifamily financing solutions.
Investors, recalling strategies from before the financial crisis, are adapting to a potentially flat or slightly declining interest rate scenario in the coming year. There is substantial capital, both institutional and private, poised for investment, which will aid in price discovery and help bridge the expectation gap. In the New York Multifamily Loan market, value creation is becoming a crucial strategy for investors dealing with negative leverage scenarios. Despite cap rates increasing by up to 200 basis points over the past year, they often remain below the cost of debt capital. This situation prompts buyers to seek rapid revenue enhancement through operational improvements, property upgrades, and other strategies, marking a return to traditional investment standards seen before the global financial crisis. By leveraging apartment building financing, these strategies are expected to remain central to investor success.
2024 Investment Outlook for New York Apartment Loan Market
- Acquisition Strategies: Last year, about 40 percent of property trades occurred in tertiary markets, which now nearly equals the 45 percent in primary markets. The New York Apartment Loan market benefits from reduced supply pressure and cost-of-living driven in-migration, trends expected to continue in 2024 as investors chase yields in smaller cities.
- Operating Costs: Operating costs are on the rise, with insurance costs up by 120 percent over the last four years due to more frequent and severe natural disasters, increased property values, and higher repair costs. Combined with a 40 percent rise in property taxes since 2018 and escalating labor costs, these factors are squeezing investor margins in the New York Multifamily Loan sector. Apartment lenders and multifamily lenders are increasingly focusing on offering creative financing solutions to address these challenges.
- Investor Generation Gap: There is a growing divide between investors who began their careers post-financial crisis, accustomed to a 2.5 percent average 10-year Treasury rate and rent growth above 5 percent, and those who invested during the 90s and early 2000s, who dealt with a 5.5 percent Treasury rate and rent growth around 3.5 percent. This disparity is shaping the strategies of investors and is likely to influence active participants in the New York Apartment Loan market this year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s going on with commercial mortgage rates as we near the end of 2024?
The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Markets Committee cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points at its September 18, 2024, meeting. This was the first rate cut since March 2020, when the Fed began a long series of rate hikes to curb the high rate of inflation. The Fed’s decision shows that they believe that inflation is under control and moving into the 2% range that the Fed has set as its goal. The Federal Reserve took this decisive action to prevent further declines in the labor market. The Fed has further hinted at further cuts at its two remaining meetings in 2024, followed by additional cuts in 2025. This rate cut, along with possible future rate cuts, may create positive investor demand for commercial real estate, and may provide aid for commercial mortgage customers, as well as consumers in general. We must caution, however, that the Federal Reserve cuts affect short term interest rates directly and long-term rates only indirectly. The Prime Rate, which is a short-term rate, dropped from 8.50% to 8.00% with the Fed’s recent action. However, most commercial mortgage rates are based on the 5-, 7-, or 10-year treasury rates, and not the Prime Rate. We have seen these treasury rates actually rise since the Fed took its action. On September 18th, the 10-year treasury was roughly 3.70%. Three weeks later, this rate had jumped to 4.03%. Investors are still concerned about future inflation and are adopting a wait and see attitude.
There are many different types of lenders offering a myriad of different loan products to finance the acquisition or refinance of apartment properties nationwide. These lenders include agency lenders (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), local and national banks, insurance companies, credit unions and private lenders.
Most lenders write apartment loans for five, seven or ten years (fixed) with a 30 year amortization. It is also possible to obtain loans that are fixed for up to 30 years, although this is not the norm. Rates are typically based on a margin over the corresponding US Treasury rate.
Lenders offer non-recourse to strong borrowers and solid properties. The borrower will be expected to have strong credit, good net worth and liquidity, and experience owning and managing similar properties. The property will be expected to demonstrate solid long term positive cash flow, be in good to excellent condition, and be located in a strong market with low vacancy rates.
Apartment loans are typically screened and pre-approved in 2-3 days. Since lenders require appraisals, environmental and property condition reports, and title, closings will usually take 45-60 days from application.

2024 New York City Multifamily Market: Navigating Peaking Construction and Legislative Challenges
Early Indicators Suggest Peaking Construction, Despite City's Legislative Efforts
As New York's apartment market heads toward 2025, it maintains a low 1.8 percent vacancy rate, matching a two-decade low from 2021. Although it remains one of the most active construction markets, the supply hasn't kept up with demand, pushing the need for New York City apartment loans. Mayor Eric Adams' "City of Yes" initiative aims to add 100,000 apartments over the next 15 years, but state legislation has hindered new developments, with proposed units down by 81 percent in the first eight months of 2023. This legislation underscores the importance of securing New York multifamily loans as early as 2025.
Investment Trends and Lack of Long-Term Clarity
Transaction velocity in 2023 marked the slowest pace in a decade, partly due to uncertainties in Manhattan's office sector and its impact on surrounding rental demand. Since 2022, Rent Guidelines Board increases have lagged behind inflation, making it difficult to maintain older Class B and C apartments, with over 40 percent of New York City units subject to rent control. These challenges underscore the need for New York City apartment loans and New York City multifamily loans to support the multifamily sector.
2024 Multifamily Market Forecast for New York City
- EMPLOYMENT: Job growth will reach 50,000 new roles this year, up from 30,000 in 2023, with increases in both traditional and new sectors.
- CONSTRUCTION: Completions will surpass 20,000 units for the second time in five years, adding 1.1 percent to the supply.
- VACANCY: Vacancy rates are expected to rise to 2.0 percent by early 2025, still below the long-term average of 2.6 percent.
- RENT: Average monthly rent will hit $2,912, marking the highest on record, despite slower growth since 2020.
- INVESTMENT: Investors are likely to focus on Brooklyn, where over a third of 2023's large proposals were centered, supporting demand for New York City apartment loans and New York City multifamily loans.
