2024 Sacramento Multifamily Loan Market: State’s Most Affordable Major Market Retains Cost-of-Living Charm
Market Outlook: Improving Downtown Demand Key for Metro Stabilization
Sacramento's mean effective rent is significantly lower than other major California markets, attracting those seeking affordable living costs. However, demographic trends are misaligned with downtown construction, as the 20-34 age group is projected to shrink by over 1 percent, challenging urban apartment demand. With significant growth in downtown inventory over the past two years, high vacancy remains, contrasting sharply with the tight rental markets of Roseville-Rocklin and Davis. The expansion of demand to the core will be crucial for broader stabilization, highlighting opportunities for Sacramento apartment loans and Sacramento multifamily loans.
2024 Sacramento Multifamily Loan Market Forecast
- EMPLOYMENT: Sacramento ties for the fastest pace of job growth in California, adding 13,000 positions, placing its workforce nearly 8 percent above 2019 levels.
- CONSTRUCTION: Construction reaches a new record in 2024, with Natomas and Folsom-Orangevale-Fair Oaks leading suburban development.
- VACANCY: Sacramento's vacancy rate rises to 6.3 percent due to inventory growth, marking the largest increase among California metros.
- RENT: Aggressive construction and high vacancy exert downward pressure on rents, reducing the average effective rate to $1,930 per month.
- INVESTMENT: Despite rising vacancy and a shrinking young adult demographic, strong rent growth in Class A units could drive investment, particularly in the eastern suburbs from Arden-Arcade to Folsom, further enhancing the market for Sacramento apartment loans and Sacramento multifamily loans.

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.
Recent Banking Failures Likely To Impact California Multifamily Lending
The recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank has sent shockwaves through the business and real estate lending sectors. As a leading CA commercial mortgage broker with over 30+ years of experience, Select Commercial knows that the multifamily sector is not immune to these developments. Here's how these banking failures could impact multifamily lending:
Regional Banks Under Pressure
Regional banks, which provide significant liquidity to the apartment sector, are likely to face increased pressure. The collapse of SVB and Signature Bank has raised concerns about the stability of smaller banks. This could lead to a pullback from regional banks providing loans to the multifamily sector, making it more challenging for developers and investors to secure financing.
Development Challenges
Developers could face significant challenges, particularly in securing construction loans and value-add renovation dollars. The current environment is leading to a slowdown in construction lending and a return to traditional underwriting and banker skepticism. This could particularly impact the affordable housing sector, where developers need their financing lined up to secure tax credits.
Volatility in the CMBS Market
CMBS loans have experienced turbulence following the bank failures. This volatility could impact a new crop of lenders that have emerged over the past half-decade, many of which are capital markets-dependent. If the securitization market stabilizes, some of the CMBS and bridge lenders may re-enter the market to fill the liquidity gaps left by regional lenders.
Interest Rate Uncertainty
The bank failures could also contribute to uncertainty around commercial mortgage rates. If these failures lead to a slowdown in rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, this could potentially benefit the commercial real estate market in the long run. However, it's too early to predict the exact impact on apartment transaction volume.
In summary, the recent banking failures have the potential to significantly impact how banks handle multifamily loans. We will closely monitoring these developments to provide the best advice and service to my clients during these uncertain times.
