> Utah's 2-4 Unit Property Finishes 2023 Down 3.5%

2023 small multifamily property values defied what many investors expected coming into the year. The Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes did not cause a significant decrease in residential real estate values, including those for 2-4 unit properties. Although values did decline, the drop was less severe than anticipated. Both buyer and seller activity decreased dramatically from previous years, resulting in historically low transaction volumes and a modest 3.5% reduction in the value of 2-4 unit properties.

With interest rates closing out the year more than 100 basis points below the peak in late October and with multiple rate cuts projected in 2024 it’s likely that 2-4 unit property values will increase in 2024.
