With sophisticated daily pricing tools, apartments today are better positioned to respond to inflationary pressures than they were forty to fifty years ago.
Market Trends
With remote working increasing and oversupply a concern in urban markets, trends seem to favor suburban apartments in the future.
Renters are paying their monthly rent at near-normal levels and millions of renters haven’t been displaced as feared.
Tenants are moving to the suburbs in droves, according to CoStar’s latest apartment report, and downtown landlords are cutting rents.
Occupied apartments climbed by nearly 147,000 units, outpacing absorption in the second quarter by more than four times. Even more promising, demand in Q3 increased by 8% year-over-year.
A pair of recent reports, one from CoStar and another from Real Capital Analytics (RCA), show that multifamily property continues to see price increases despite the pandemic.
