The Multifamily Investment Landscape: Demand, Capital Markets, & Strategy

In this episode of Wealth Unfiltered, John Chang, Chief Analytics and Intelligence Officer at Marcus & Millichap, joins us to break down the multifamily investment landscape and what investors should be watching as we move through 2026.

John breaks down why 2026 may present unusually strong commercial real estate and multifamily investment opportunities, explaining how investor caution, shifting capital flows, evolving market fundamentals, and selective buying conditions are creating a moment that could reward those who understand where the next wave of demand is forming.

The key themes shaping the 2026 commercial real estate and multifamily investment landscape center on real estate fundamentals, capital flows, market selection, and investor psychology. John leaves listeners considering how these forces may unlock a rare window for long‑term value creation, and why the next phase of strategic investing could favor those ready to move with insight and intention.
