Is the American Dream of homeownership slipping out of reach–and what does that mean for multifamily real estate investors? 

Join Origin Investments Co-CEO, David Scherer, and Robert Dietz, SVP and chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), for timely conversation on the forces reshaping housing demand.

Some takeaways from the webinar include:

  • Renting is 63% cheaper than buying right now, and we don’t see that gap closing anytime soon.
  • Multifamily supply remains structurally short. Starts plateau around 380,000-390,000 units/year, and undersupply deepens through 2030.
  • AI is a long-term tailwind. Higher productivity drives wage growth, which improves housing demand. Origin is already leveraging this via Multilytics®, our proprietary suite of machine learning models, for rent growth forecasting.
  • Aging housing stock opportunity. Robert predicts rehab, tear-down, and redevelopment to grow ~30% over the next decade.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear two industry experts interpret today’s market dynamics and share what they mean for your portfolio.

The webinar concludes with live Q&A.
