The NMHC Annual Meeting is more than just an event – it’s a moment to connect with the multifamily industry’s top decision-makers, strategists, and dealmakers. As we gear up for this year’s gathering in January, we’re excited about the conversations, insights, and opportunities it will bring. Whether it’s discussing how to unlock capital in a changing market or tackling operational challenges, this event sets the tone for the year ahead.
Here’s what we’re watching closely:
- Real Estate Technology & Transformation Center (RETTC) General Session: The newly established RETTC will host a pivotal session on January 29th, focusing on how data, AI, and technology are shaping a more affordable, accessible, and sustainable housing future. Key discussions will explore the transformative role of innovation in multifamily operations, from streamlining property management to enhancing rental housing finance, while emphasizing the need for supportive regulations to drive equity and innovation. As a collaborator with RETTC, Cherre is proud to support NMHC’s vision for leveraging technology to build stronger, more connected communities.
- Insights Into the Multifamily Market Outlook: There’s a growing sense of optimism in the multifamily sector. With post-election clarity and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts, the market could see greater stability, enticing buyers back into the fold and revitalizing transaction volumes. However, challenges remain. Record levels of new supply are creating absorption pressures in some markets, but rents have largely held steady. Add in the rising cost of homeownership and the stage is set for strong rental demand through 2025. NMHC Annual is the first chance to hear from executives about how they’re navigating these dynamics and positioning their portfolios for the future.
- Legal Landscape for 2025: The RealPage lawsuit has been a lightning rod for discussions around pricing algorithms, collusion, and their downstream effects on renters and the multifamily industry. Allegations of landlords using shared algorithms to set prices have raised questions about competition, transparency, and trust. This case has implications not just for landlords but for the technology partners they rely on. At NMHC Annual, we expect candid, Chatham House Rules-style conversations about the regulatory landscape, what it means for multifamily operators, how to adapt to a new era of scrutiny and compliance, and what practices you should employ to address data governance imperatives.
- Addressing Multifamily’s Biggest Operational Challenges: While data might not be the word of the day, it’s impossible to ignore its role in solving key challenges for 2025. Whether it’s quickly identifying acquisition targets, evaluating portfolios for buy/sell decisions, or delivering faster insights to deal with stakeholders, the quality of data and workflows underpin every outcome. We’re excited to connect the dots between these challenges and how data management solutions like ours can drive actionable results.
- AI and Data Innovation Discussions: Throughout the conference, but particularly during the General Sessions, we anticipate robust discussions about artificial intelligence and its implications for the multifamily industry. As champions of data intelligence, we’re looking forward to sharing insights about how proper data management is the foundation for successful AI implementation – a topic we explore in depth in our eBook “Whoever Wins Data, Wins AI.”
