Multifamily Stock Index Poised for Record High The stocks of publicly traded companies whose primary business is multifamily housing continue to outpace the market as a whole and are poised to end the year at record high levels, according to NAHB’s Multifamily Stock Index, which was released at the end of last year. “Multifamily stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 12 months as well as over the last four years,” noted Elliot Eisenberg, a housing policy economist at NAHB and creator of the index. “Investors are looking at multifamily companies as good long-term investments,” he said, “and despite some weakness in the rental market over the past two years, these stocks continue to perform very well.” |
