Here’s a quick look at the small balance multifamily finance and investment benchmarks for Q1 2018.
Apartment properties show rent increases across all metro segments; while growing steadily in the largest metros, secondary markets are now experiencing higher rent growth in the small asset space.
The ongoing inventory consolidation in the multifamily market is resulting in higher quality assets. This is illustrated in the steady annual increases in rents, especially in small apartment properties. Average Rent Levels Across Asset Type The current consolidation in the multifamily market, characterized by steady large building inventory expansion and a slight contraction in small building units, is helping retain better performing assets with higher rents. The above contraction in small building units comes in the backdrop of rising competition between large apartment buildings and single-family homes for Millennial rental demand. As shown below, based on the latest data from the American Community Survey (ACS), the average monthly gross rent (total housing expense) of small apartment property units reached around $1,040 in 20161. This is an increase from $1,000 in the previous year. In comparison, US average monthly gross rent in large building units increased from $1,200 in 2015 to $1,240 in 2016. At the other end of the market, the rent for single-family homes was slightly above that of large buildings. Duplex-quadruplex units were the least expensive rental option Read the full article…

After standing out as one of the stronger performing markets in the country during 2017, Dallas continued its momentum during the first quarter of 2018. Rent growth and investment activity remained strong, while vacancy rates held at historically low levels despite a high volume of new supply added to the market. Rental Market According to data from Reis, the average asking rent in Dallas finished Q1 2018 at $1,141/unit. This figure is up 0.9% since the end of 2017, and has risen in every quarter since year-end 2009. Year-over-year asking rent increased 5.6%, which ranked 15th nationally. Rent for Class A properties increased 5.4% year-over-year, while the Class B/C average rose 4.4%. Reis forecasts overall asking rent to grow 4.7% during 2018 and slow to 1.9% by 2022. We observed previously that Dallas led the nation with 17,200 new multifamily units completed during 2017. Although demand has been strong, it has not quite been able to keep up with the pace of new supply, as absorption totaled only 11,100 units for the year. That trend continued in the first quarter, Read the full article…
