BREAKING: Only 52% of newly constructed #apartments in Q2 2024 were rented within 3 months of completion, the 2nd lowest reading since 2020. This is down from the 74% record posted in Q3 2021, according to Redfin. 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments saw the biggest declines driven by the spike in new apartment #construction. Apartment completions jumped 22.6% year-over-year to 117,500 in Q2, the highest in at least 12 years. Completions are up by a whopping 56.6% over the last 2 years. The US #housing market seems to be slowing.

Interesting data! With such a big spike in completions, managing operational costs and optimizing property expenses must be top of mind for property managers during this slowdown. It’s a tough environment, but moments like this often bring new opportunities for improving efficiency.
