Description: EQR Equity Residential December 17, 2025

Equity Residential (NYSE:EQR) is a S&P 500-listed REIT that owns and manages 318 properties, totaling roughly 86,300 apartment units, primarily in high-density coastal metros and fast-growing markets such as Atlanta, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Denver.

Recent data (Q3 2024) show an occupancy rate of ~96% and a year-over-year rent growth of 4.2%, while the company reported adjusted FFO of $1.75 billion, reflecting a 7% increase despite rising borrowing costs. The multifamily sector remains supported by limited new supply in core cities, strong household formation trends, and a relatively inelastic demand curve that can absorb modest rent hikes.
