Description: EQR Equity Residential October 14, 2025

Equity Residential (NYSE:EQR) is a S&P 500-listed REIT that acquires, develops, and manages high-quality multifamily assets in major U.S. metros that attract affluent, long-term renters. The portfolio comprises 317 properties and 85,936 apartment units, with core concentrations in Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Seattle, San Francisco, and Southern California, and growing footprints in Denver, Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Austin.

Key performance indicators from the most recent FY 2024 filing show an occupancy rate of 96.2%, a year-over-year FFO (funds from operations) growth of 5.8%, and an average rent increase of 3.4% in the top-tier markets, reflecting strong demand despite a tightening credit environment.

Sector-wide, multifamily REITs are currently driven by two macro forces: (1) a persistent shortage of rental housing in high-cost cities, which sustains rent-price power, and (2) rising interest rates that increase borrowing costs but also temper new supply pipelines, thereby supporting existing asset valuations.

Analysts should monitor the pipeline of new construction in EQR’s target metros, as a surge in supply could erode occupancy and rent growth; conversely, any slowdown in new permits would likely reinforce the company’s pricing leverage.
