Part 2: New Supply in the Current Demand Environment
Not just Sunbelt markets could be feeling pressure from new supply in 2023, and the challenge will also not be limited to primary markets.
Not just Sunbelt markets could be feeling pressure from new supply in 2023, and the challenge will also not be limited to primary markets.
The interplay between new supply and apartment demand will be an issue at the forefront of multifamily performance in 2023.
Like many high-growth markets, Charlotte suffered from lower apartment demand and an active construction pipeline in 2022.
Tampa was at the forefront of the multifamily recovery last year and has similarly typified the challenges of the new environment.
With the end of the year approaching, it is time for a check-in on the multifamily new construction pipeline.
Average occupancy has been on the decline in recent months, but thanks to last year’s apartment demand, plenty of cushion remains.
Even with continued difficulties for new construction, more than 100,000 new units were delivered across the US through April.
The multifamily new construction pipeline continues to grow, but so too does the average construction duration.
The new construction pipeline has already delivered nearly 250,000 new units this year, but construction times continue to rise.
