NMHC Annual Meeting Recap: Stability, Smarter Strategy, and What Comes Next

February 19, 2026

Last month’s NMHC Annual Meeting felt different. Not louder or flashier, but steadier.
After several years of volatility (pandemic disruption, supply chain challenges, labor shifts, tariff uncertainty, and economic pressure) the tone this year was grounded. More thoughtful and strategic.
If we had to summarize this NMHC Annual Meeting recap in one word, it would be:
Hopeful.
But it wasn’t blind optimism. It was confidence built on experience. Here’s what stood out most and what it means for multifamily owners and operators heading into 2026.

Are There Weather-Resistant Package Lockers for Properties With No Indoor Space?

February 13, 2026

The short answer is yes. Weather-resistant package lockers are specifically designed for properties without indoor space.
For multifamily communities with garden-style layouts, exterior corridors, or limited interior square footage, outdoor locker systems provide a secure and durable package management solution.
The key is choosing lockers engineered for long-term exterior exposure and not simply placing an indoor system outside.

How Good Is Luxer One’s Customer Support? What Property Managers Should Know

February 6, 2026

When property managers evaluate package management solutions, features and hardware matter. But one question consistently rises to the top during vendor selection and renewal conversations: How good is the customer support?
For communities managing hundreds or even thousands of residents, package systems are not “set it and forget it” amenities. They are operational infrastructure. That means support must extend beyond basic troubleshooting and instead function as a long-term partnership.
So how good is Luxer One customer support? In short, it is designed to support properties from installation through daily operations and beyond, with proactive, human-centered service backed by technology that prevents problems before they escalate.

The long answer is that the Luxer One installation process is designed to remove friction at every stage. From early planning through day-to-day operations we ensure your team is never left figuring things out alone.
This end-to-end approach is what turns a new system installation into a long-term operational improvement, not just a hardware upgrade.

Luxer Liaison: A Familiar Face & Trusted Community Partner

A Familiar Face: How Luxer Liaison Adds a Human Touch to Package Management

January 15, 2026

Modern package management systems have transformed how communities handle deliveries. Smart lockers and centralized package rooms bring security, organization, and automation to an increasingly complex last-mile environment. But at larger communities, technology alone isn’t always enough to deliver the experience residents and onsite teams expect.
That’s where expert support for package management systems makes a meaningful difference.
At many Luxer One communities, that difference comes in the form of a familiar, trusted face. For one property, that person is Val: a Luxer Liaison whose presence has helped turn an already strong package system into a smoother, more human-centered experience.

The Growing Demand for Package Management in Multifamily Communities

January 15, 2026

The demand for package management has been steadily rising for years, but over the past twelve months, it has shifted from a convenience issue to an operational imperative. For property managers, owners, and developers alike, package volume is no longer a temporary side effect of peak ecommerce seasons. It is a permanent fixture of modern multifamily living.
Residents expect fast, secure delivery. Carriers expect efficient drop-off. On-site teams are expected to keep everything moving without adding labor or liability. As ecommerce behavior continues to evolve and staffing pressures remain tight, communities are being forced to rethink how they manage last-mile delivery at scale.
This is where multifamily package management solutions have moved from “nice-to-have” amenities to core infrastructure.

Value Messaging Is the Key to Preventing Long-Term Concessions in Multifamily

January 14, 2026

Concessions have become a familiar fixture across the multifamily landscape. As operators move through 2026, the question is no longer whether incentives belong in the leasing toolbox, but how to use them without sacrificing long-term revenue performance. This is where value messaging plays a critical role.
When concessions are paired with clear, consistent value messaging, they can support occupancy without resetting renter expectations. When they are not, they risk becoming a long-term drag on effective rents, renewals, and overall NOI. In today’s market, preventing long-term concessions is less about eliminating discounts altogether and more about ensuring price is never the only thing prospects remember.

The State of the Multifamily Market: Stability Is Returning, but Discipline Still Matters

January 8, 2026

After several years of volatility, the state of the multifamily market entering 2026 feels more predictable than it has since the early post-pandemic period. Rent growth has normalized, supply pressures are beginning to ease in many metros, and demand fundamentals are slowly strengthening. However, this is not a return to the high-growth environment operators experienced earlier in the decade.
Instead, the Q1 2026 outlook reflects a market where stability is returning, but performance depends heavily on operational discipline, cost control, and resident experience. Properties that adapt to this reality are finding steadier footing. Those that rely on outdated assumptions or inefficient systems may struggle to keep pace.
This Q1 2026 multifamily market report breakdown explores what the latest data is telling operators and what it means for day-to-day decision-making.
