Hayes and Sherry
What trends or shifts do you see shaping your industry this fall and into 2026? This fall, I’m seeing Rhode Island’s multifamily market pick up after a slower start to the year. Investors are getting back into the mix as interest rates ease and financing becomes more accessible, which is helping deals move again. Activity is strong across both urban and suburban markets, and larger portfolio transactions are signaling solid confidence in the sector. Heading into 2026, I expect deal flow to keep building as these trends continue.
What are you most excited about for the future of your sector? I’m excited to see the multifamily sector entering a new growth phase after a period of hesitation. The combination of improved lending conditions, stable pricing, and strong demand is creating a healthier, more active market. There’s a lot of opportunities ahead for creative deal-making and strategic investments, and it feels like the market is setting up for a strong run in 2026.
