J.P. Morgan flags diverging multifamily conditions across U.S. markets in mid-2026 outlook

Orange County's multifamily market is projected to remain resilient through 2026, with overall vacancy edging up only modestly and workforce housing keeping Class B and C vacancy well below Class A levels. Interest rate uncertainty is pushing owner-operators toward shorter loan terms and variable-rate strategies, while rising operational costs are prompting tighter liquidity management. The asset-class divide—driven largely by concentrated new supply in submarkets like Tustin—is the defining dynamic of the market this year.

01Class B/C vacancy in Orange County stood at 2.9% in Q1 2026, less than half the 6.5% recorded for Class A assets, according to Moody's data cited by JPMorgan Chase.
02Overall vacancy is forecast to rise only slightly, from 4.5% to 4.7%, with effective rents projected to grow 0.9% year over year, matching 2025's pace.
03Rate uncertainty is steering multifamily borrowers toward three-to-five-year loan terms or variable-rate extensions rather than long-term refinancing locks.

Smart buildings become a financial no-brainer as the market races toward $554 billion

Smart buildings become a financial no-brainer as the market races toward $554 billion

Smart buildings are transitioning from optional upgrades to financial necessity as the global market grows from $141.79 billion in 2025 to $554 billion by 2033, with 115 million IoT-enabled structures expected by 2026. Building owners, lenders, and institutional tenants now treat smart capabilities and BIM as baseline standards rather than discretionary features, driving adoption across commercial, logistics, and residential asset classes.
