Multifamily Resources Even though it’s part of the overall housing market, the multifamily segment has a culture and language of its own. Consider the following resources to get up to speed about this slice of the residential realm:
“Multifamily Market Outlook” is a monthly electronic newsletter produced by NAHB’s Multifamily Council, available free to members and $150 a year for non-members at www.nahb.org.
“The State of the Nation’s Housing 2004,” published by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, including a separate section on rental housing, available as a free PDF download at www.jchs. harvard.edu, or call 617.495.7908. For more about the rental market, download “Middle Market Rentals: Hiding in Plain Sight, 2004,” at the same location.
NAHB’s Multifamily Council also produced a video to help developers dispel the myths associated with multifamily housing and illustrate their positive economic impact to combat opposition to apartment building. Call 202.266.8350 to obtain a copy for $20.
