PERE has released its 2026 Residential report, a deep dive into the living sector’s increasingly fragmented outlook. The publication moves beyond traditional multifamily analysis to cover single-family rental, student housing, senior housing and care homes, featuring commentary from industry leaders. It also surveys emerging flex‑living models and the impact of demographic shifts. Access requires a free registration on the Real Estate Investor platform.

The shift toward diversified housing assets reflects investors’ search for stable yields amid tightening credit markets. By aggregating data from PERE’s extensive database, the report equips fund managers with benchmarks for emerging sub‑markets and highlights capital‑intensive opportunities. Analysts expect the insights to influence allocation decisions across private‑equity real‑estate funds. The residential segment now accounts for roughly 40% of private‑real‑estate capital deployed globally.

Readers must log in or create an account to download the full analysis; the site also offers live fundraising charts and fund performance methodology. Subscription tiers grant access to historical rankings and investor intent surveys, enriching the analytical toolkit. The report’s granular view of single‑family rentals and senior care is poised to become a reference point for capital allocation this year.
