IMG Attends GlobeSt. Multifamily Fall 2025
Woodland Hills, CA – October 21, 2025 – Cautious optimism for a continued commercial real estate recovery set the tone at this year’s GlobeSt. Multifamily Fall event. Similar to the sentiment in 2024, owners, lenders, and brokers are still navigating a complex and unpredictable market. Demand for rental housing remains generally stable, with some markets experiencing modest rent increases while others see declines due to the influx of new supply over the past few years.
Creative debt and equity structures have been required to facilitate some transactions during the current period of volatile interest rates. Treasury rates have fallen nearly 80 basis points since the start of the year, although volatility through the downward trend has produced interim spikes of more than 20 points. Market timing and property positioning are crucial in today’s financing environment. IMG’s refinance and partial syndication of Vistas at Plum Creek in October demonstrates how strategic financing creates value for long-term growth.
Event speakers focused on themes for growing net income – such as apartment expense management, negotiating insurance, and conservative renovation programs. Investors are favoring moderate leverage and extended hold periods as they operate through the down market for better exit opportunities ahead. Technology and data-driven asset management also took center stage, as owners shared new tools that improve efficiency and expense management in a higher-cost environment.
IMG’s affiliated property management company, Parktown Living, also received recognition from GlobeSt. this year as Patti Higgins, Senior Vice President of Property Management, was named one of GlobeSt.’s 2025 Influencers in Multifamily for her excellence in operations, team leadership, and resident experience.
