Should you rent or buy? Many Americans are asking that question right now. Recent headlines regarding single family residential real estate have highlighted little inventory and steep interest rates — with the exception of multifamily housing. Apartment rents had begun to slow in October of 2023. And while there’s little to suggest that all #apartment property types or markets are doing significantly better than others, one that is performing well is #luxury apartments. These communities show that quality, amenity-rich locations are resilient despite a slowdown in demand for other housing categories. For example, our luxury multifamily property Park Central in Raleigh, North Carolina, is nearly 100% leased. The debate between renting and buying will continue. Find out more in our blog here: https://zurl.co/2EgX Bipartisan Policy Center #CommercialRealEstate #KBS #Office #CRE #Multifamily #Renters #LuxuryApartments

“Over the past 10 years, Dallas has added more apartments to its existing base than any other market nationwide. Over 181,000 units have come online since 2014, increasing the apartment base by a stunning 35.3%. While there were several other markets nationwide that saw more growth on a percentage basis, all those apartment markets were less than half the size of Dallas. In fact, the only market that comes close on a relative growth basis is fellow Texas metro Austin, where the existing apartment base is less than half the size of Dallas at more like 300,000 existing units.” Courtesy of RealPage, Inc. #multifamilyinvesting #dallas #texas #commercialrealestate

Property owners, media outlets and real estate agents across the Greater Boston area have been calling me non-stop asking about where I see the rental market headed in this second half of 2024. I'm happy to announce you can read the Boston Pads data- driven predictions in the 2024 Boston Mid-Year Apartment Rental Market Report.  Despite some relative easing in the rental market, rent prices remain at all-time highs, and apartment supply is still low compared to historical standards. There are multiple factors driving this current market, but it's becoming more clear than ever that questionable economic policies and excessive regulations have had the greatest negative effect on the rental market.  In the report, I address the various elements having the largest impact on the Boston apartment rental market, and its future, including: high interest rates and inflation, lack of sufficient development, harmful broker fee and rent control bills, and more. Where do you think Boston's rental market is headed in the second half of 2024?  Please let me know your thoughts in the comments.  #Boston #RealEstate #BostonRealEstate #BostonRealEstateMarket #Housing #Inflation #Development #RealTimeData #Construction #Multifamily #PropertyOwners #RealEstateInvesting #Unemployment #MostListings #MostKeys #MostApartments #MostLandlords #MostData #MostLeads #MostDeals #MostTrusted #BostonPads

The current average rent price in the city of Boston is $3,265. That marks a +5.63% increase year-over-year and a +18.43% increase compared to mid-July 2022. The historic apartment shortage that was prevalent over the past 2 years helped fuel what has been some of the sharpest rent price growth we’ve seen in decades. Our legislature simply hasn’t been able to deliver compelling housing policies that work toward creating supply without bankrupting developers. During this period of inflation and high interest rates it shell shocked developers because it was impossible to get cost containment on labor, materials and affordable energy prices needed to build at scale. With record low inventory coming to market it was evident that prices on rent were not going to come down. That being said, rent prices have stabilized over the last 6 months, rising by a much smaller margin of +1.81% since February. When landlords have higher turnover in their portfolio they tend to hold prices stable and you are witnessing this play out in real time.  This is welcome news for Boston renters who have endured exorbitant rent prices and slim inventory over the past 24 months.   The bottom line is that we need far more supply and we need to stimulate housing without excessive regulations so that we bring down pricing for the consumer. #Boston #RealEstate #BostonRealEstate #BostonRealEstateMarket #Housing #Inflation #Development #RealTimeData #Construction #Multifamily #PropertyOwners #RealEstateInvesting #Unemployment

According to CoStar, as we approach the end of 2024, Detroit’s apartment market is seeing a significant shift in demand towards mid-priced, three-star apartments. These properties have captured 41% of renter demand, surpassing the traditionally dominant luxury four-and-five-star apartments. This trend is driven by a balance of quality and affordability, making three-star apartments a popular choice amidst ongoing inflation.    The multifamily market in Detroit rebounded in early 2024, with renter demand outpacing new completions, leading to a decrease in vacancy rates. Notably, one-star properties have also seen positive net absorption, indicating a growing appeal among price-sensitive renters.  Geographically, Macomb County leads in renter demand, followed by downtown Detroit, Troy/Rochester, and Southfield.  Read more: https://lnkd.in/gN-NpVZH #MarketRent #DetroitRealEstate #ApartmentLiving #MidPricedHomes #RealEstateTrends #AffordableLiving #DetroitApartments #HousingMarket #RealEstateNews
