Despite remaining challenges, the third quarter featured some reasons for encouragement in the industry performance data.
Apartment demand remains encouraging but rent growth has begun to trend downward from its second quarter peak.
The level of new supply the industry has seen over the years has been nearly unprecedented, and like nothing seen in almost a half-century.
2024 apartment demand has shown robust improvement over last year, but challenges remain – not least an unrelenting construction pipeline.
Apartment demand in June was another mixed bag. Net absorption bettered the June 2023 total but was slightly lower month-over-month.
Monthly net absorption improved in May, but by a narrow margin. With higher demand but also higher new supply – 2024 is playing out like 2023.
New supply increased further in April, but apartment demand was unable to continue the upward trajectory that began in late 2023.
Apartment demand improved again in the first quarter, continuing a trend of consistent incremental progress since the 2022 trough.
