Occupancy moved back above last year this week. Rents fell further behind it.
Occupancy edged up to 94.53% for the week ending Oct 25, 2026, 0.02 percentage points above last year. Leasing held at 2.1 leases per property for a fourth straight week, which suggests demand has found its seasonal floor.
Net Effective Rent (NER) and RevPAU didn't move this week, holding at $1,781 and $1,683. Both annual comparisons still worsened, to 0.8% and 0.7% below last year, on firmer numbers a year ago.
Occupancy and rents are moving in opposite directions in 12 markets, up from 11 last week, including Austin, Denver, Miami, and Phoenix.
Only 7 of 28 markets posted positive annual rent growth, the same count for five straight weeks. San Francisco led at 11.5% above last year, and Denver trailed at 4.6% below.

Key finding #2: Scraped rent comes in $113 per unit above true Net Effective Rent
$113 per unit. That’s the gap between scraped rent and true Net Effective Rent across the 1,338 properties we matched.
The advertised rent is close. Scraped rent sits within $15 of System of Record asking rent, a 0.8% difference.
The gap opens with concessions. Websites describe them as a “net effective price,” an “amortized special” or an “option to self-amortize,” with no dollar figure a scraper can subtract or tie to a unit, lease term or move-in date.
System of Record data captures every concession and mandatory fee from the property’s own records. That puts true Net Effective Rent at $1,781 per unit against $1,894 scraped, a 6.3% difference.
Concessions are where pricing decisions happen, and they’re the part scraped data can’t measure.

Leased occupancy moved past last year for the first time this fall. Occupancy held even with last year for a second week.
Occupancy was 94.53% for the week of October 18, and leased occupancy reached 96.75%, 1 basis point above last year. Leasing eased to 2.1 new leases per property.
Net effective rent and RevPAU each rose $1, to $1,779 and $1,682. Annual rent growth improved to 0.5% below last year.
Occupancy and rents are moving in opposite directions in 11 markets for a second week: occupancy above last year, rents below it.
Only 7 of 28 markets posted positive annual rent growth. Boston was among them at 5.3% above last year, while Las Vegas was 4.6% below.

Key finding #1: Scraped data overstates revenue at 81.3% of matched properties
$32.6K a month. That's the difference in revenue per property between System of Record data and scraped data.
We matched 1,338 multifamily properties on both sides. Over a year, the gap comes to $391K per property.
The bulk of the gap comes from two things scrapers can't see: concessions and true occupancy.
Rent and concessions account for 81%, a $113 per unit difference between advertised rent and true Net Effective Rent. Occupancy accounts for the other 19%, with buildings looking 2.9% fuller online than they actually are.
The result? 81.3% of properties appear stronger in scraped data than they do in their own records.

Demand has found its footing. Pricing is sending mixed signals.
For the week of September 27, occupancy eased to 94.48 percent, within 13 basis points of last year. Leasing held at 2.2 per property, with the annual gap unchanged at 0.4 for a second straight week.
Net effective rent slipped 0.2 percent on the week to $1,774, even as annual NER growth improved to 1.0 percent below last year, a fourth straight week of narrowing. That improvement is coming from an easier comparison base, not fresh pricing strength. RevPAU eased to $1,676.
The sharper signal sits under the national line. Of the 28 markets reporting rent data, only 7 posted positive annual rent growth, down from 10 a week ago. The spread ran 17.4 points, from 11.1 percent above last year in San Francisco to 6.3 percent below in Tampa.

Rents improved for a third straight week, and the market split wider.
For the week of September 20, occupancy held at 94.53 percent, within 10 basis points of last year. Leasing settled at 2.2 per property, unchanged on the week.
Net effective rent rose to $1,775, with annual NER growth improving to 1.1 percent below last year, a third straight week of narrowing. RevPAU rose to $1,678 (1.2 percent below last year).
The national number hides most of it. Across the 28 markets we track, annual rent growth spanned 18.2 points, from 10.6 percent above last year in San Francisco to 7.6 percent below in San Antonio. Ten were positive, 18 negative. Seven markets carried occupancy above last year while rents fell, which points to supply absorption rather than weakening demand.

The Revenue Gap Report: A multifamily property's value is only as accurate as the data behind it.
In our new Revenue Gap Report, one Seattle-area property illustrates why.
Scraped data suggested a nearly full building generating more than $1.1M in monthly revenue. System of Record data showed a different reality: lower occupancy, substantial concessions, and approximately $338K less revenue per month.
Capitalized at a standard NOI margin and cap rate, that's the difference between a $121.1M valuation and an $84.6M valuation.
The takeaway is bigger than one asset:
Nobody made a bad decision. They made a decision using incomplete data.
Over the coming weeks, we'll share the report's five key findings and what they mean for operators, investors, and the future of multifamily market intelligence.

Occupancy held above last year for a second straight week. For the week of July 26, the national occupancy rate was 94.82 percent, essentially flat on the week and 29 basis points above a year ago, confirming last week's step up was more than a temporary blip.
Leasing firmed a bit, with volume up to 2.1 per property and the annual gap narrowing, a healthier mix than the retention-led gain the week before.
Net effective rent rose slightly to $1,762, though annual NER growth held at 1.9 percent below last year, leaving pricing as the one metric still waiting to turn. RevPAU edged up to $1,671 (1.6 percent below last year).
The coastal-to-Sun Belt split held: San Francisco led at 8.8 percent above last year on NER, while Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix all sat between roughly 5 and 7 percent below.

Net effective rent eased slightly to $1,758, with annual NER growth slipping to 1.9 percent below last year, and RevPAU rose to $1,667 (1.5 percent below last year). The gain appears driven more by retention than new leasing, with lease volume flat on the week.
