I'm always keeping an eye on the broader Bay Area market, since trends there can shape what we see right here in Gilroy. Lately, the outlook for multifamily properties across the Bay has been steadily improving. Even with some tech layoffs, the AI and machine learning sectors are still hiring and leasing up big spaces—which helps keep our local fundamentals solid. Over the next year, job growth is expected to rise, giving a boost to the demand for apartments and supporting the region’s steady momentum.
Despite these positive signs, high construction costs continue to limit new development, so there’s still a real need for more apartment options. State housing mandates and more flexible regulations could make it easier to bring new multifamily projects to life, paving the way for more choices and opportunities. And with two leading AI/ML firms possibly heading for IPOs in the second half of the year, we could see even more hiring and leasing activity—a win for local renters and investors alike. As someone passionate about helping my clients find their place in our community, I’m always tuned in to how these regional shifts might open new doors right here at home.
