The findings come as commercial real estate investors look beyond traditional multifamily assets in search of sectors offering durable cash flow and long-term demand. Undersupply continues to exist across most major university markets, leading investors to increasingly target campuses with sustained enrollment growth.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Student housing has returned to being a fundamentals-driven business,&#8221; said <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walkerdunlop.com%2Fabout%2Fpeople%2Fwill-baker&amp;esheet=54570660&amp;newsitemid=20260714902878&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Will+Baker&amp;index=3&amp;md5=3fd7884f44e8d43000ea722b22ce8611\">Will Baker<\/a>, senior managing director of Capital Markets Real Estate Finance at Walker &amp; Dunlop. &#8220;While overall sector fundamentals remain strong, investors are placing greater emphasis on universities with favorable demographics, and barriers to new development, rather than pursuing broad national strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report highlights the strength of those fundamentals. National preleasing reached 71.6%, up 2% year over year, while fall 2025 enrollment increased 1.8% from the prior year to 4.9 million students. Investor demand has remained equally resilient, with national student housing transaction volume totaling $8.8 billion, a 28% increase from 2023, underscoring the sector&#8217;s continued appeal despite a higher-cost capital environment.<\/p>\n<p>\nAmong its key findings, the report identifies several themes shaping the year ahead, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nEnrollment growth and preleasing remain strong, supporting demand.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nConstruction starts continue to slow, improving the medium-term supply outlook.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nInstitutional capital remains active, with increasing selectivity toward high-performing university markets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nOwners increasingly pursue recapitalizations and structured liquidity solutions instead of outright asset sales.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nPricing continues to adjust while transaction activity rebounds, creating attractive acquisition opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n&#8220;Today&#8217;s opportunities are being created by discipline,&#8221; said <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walkerdunlop.com%2Fabout%2Fpeople%2Fchristopher-epp&amp;esheet=54570660&amp;newsitemid=20260714902878&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Christopher+Epp&amp;index=4&amp;md5=108434f344df6c3f5dfd4859013256b1\">Christopher Epp<\/a>, managing director of Capital Markets Investment Sales at Walker &amp; Dunlop. &#8220;As pricing becomes more market-specific and new supply moderates, investors with the right local knowledge and capital strategy are well positioned to capitalize on the next phase of the cycle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWalker &amp; Dunlop is a leader in student housing investment sales and financing.
