EliseAIʼs new 2026 “State of AI in Multifamily” report draws on a third-party survey of 350 U.S. multifamily decision-makers and 500 residents to identify where the industry stands with AI usage today, and where opportunities exist in current deployment strategies. The 2025 edition of this report found AI adoption in multifamily was rapidly becoming table stakes, with 92% of operators expanding their use of AI-powered solutions. One year later, the conversation has evolved.
