As we close out the second week of November, the market continues to balance cautious optimism with practical reality. Developers, investors, and city leaders are all adapting to a slower but more stable climate one where disciplined execution separates progress from pause. Here’s what stood out this week, and my take on where things are heading.
1. Inflation Data Brings a Small Win
This week’s CPI report showed inflation trending down slightly, giving investors renewed confidence that rate cuts could come by mid-2026. While not a dramatic shift, it’s a step toward market normalization.
Corey’s Take: Even a small move in the right direction matters. Markets react to momentum, not milestones. This is where patient developers with solid fundamentals will start gaining ground. Stability always favors preparation.
2. Investment Volume Shows Signs of Life
Though national deal flow remains below average, there’s been a noticeable uptick in smaller multifamily and land transactions. Many developers are stepping in quietly while competition is still low.
Corey’s Take: This is when the smart money moves. If you’re waiting for the headlines to say “the market is back,” you’re already too late. The real positioning happens right now before sentiment shifts.
3. Workforce Housing Partnerships Taking Shape
Several Indiana cities advanced local housing initiatives this week, including incentives for workforce and attainable housing. The focus is shifting from large-scale tax credit projects to smaller, faster-moving developments that can deliver sooner.
Corey’s Take: This is the model we’ve been championing. You don’t need massive projects to make a big impact. Scalable, community-centered development is the future and it’s the space CorePar Development is built for.
4. Construction Costs Stay Level, Labor Steadies
Material pricing stayed flat this week, and many contractors reported increased availability as large projects slow down. This opens the door for developers to secure more competitive bids heading into the winter season.
Corey’s Take: Cost control is about timing. When the big players pull back, smaller projects get better pricing and more attention from trades. It’s another reason why steady planning beats waiting for the perfect market.
5. Capital Conversations Turning More Productive
Private investors and family offices are becoming more active again looking for clear, data-backed projects that balance profit with purpose. Build-to-Rent and workforce housing continue to top the list of preferred asset classes.
Corey’s Take: The tone of conversations is shifting. Investors aren’t chasing hype they want trust, execution, and strategy. When you can show both community value and consistent returns, the capital follows naturally.
At CorePar Development, our focus is simple: build intelligently, execute consistently, and invest in projects that make a real difference. The market may be moving slower, but opportunity hasn’t disappeared it’s just become more intentional.
