Booming Multi-Family Housing Market in Search of Stylish, Low-Maintenance Exterior Building Solutions

The multi-family housing market has seen tremendous growth in the past few years. “The multi-family industry is strong and producing more units than in previous cycles,” said National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist David Crowe.

The multi-family housing market has seen tremendous growth in the past few years. “The multi-family industry is strong and producing more units than in previous cycles,” said National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist David Crowe. “We are forecasting that 358,000 units will be developed in 2015 and 361,000 units in 2016.” Now comprising 25 percent of all housing units constructed, multi family home construction is pacing faster than the growth of single-family homes according to Forbes. This is due to more millennials seeking to rent over buying and the boomer generation looking to downsize and move into low-maintenance housing. Boomers are looking for homes with luxurious finishes otherwise known as bistro living, as well as living in a community setting where their home is close to other friends, according to a recent Better Homes & Gardens real estate survey.

In addition to providing low-maintenance living, the most successful multi-family developments today offer plenty of amenities and inviting curb appeal at a competitive price.
