Insights

The multifamily rental market is showing signs of stabilization, with the smallest supply-demand gap in three years. This is a positive indicator for the sector, suggesting a more balanced market environment. Key points to note:

  • Absorption of 176,000 units in Q3 2024, the highest since Q3 2021
  • Vacancy rate dropped 10 basis points to 7.8%, first quarterly decline since 2021
  • National average annual asking rent growth slightly decreased to 1.1%

The market shows regional disparities, with Washington, DC leading in rent growth at 3.5%, while Sun Belt markets face challenges due to supply-demand imbalances. The luxury segment (4&5-Star units) is experiencing the weakest rent growth at 0.3% with high vacancy, while mid-priced 3-Star properties outperform with 1.5% rent growth and lower vacancy.

Looking ahead, the projected addition of 636,000 new units in 2024 could further impact market dynamics. Investors should closely monitor regional trends and property tiers, as performance is likely to vary significantly across markets and price points.

Quarterly data shows smallest gap between multifamily supply and demand since 2021

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, Apartments.com – an online marketplace of CoStar Group, Inc. (“CoStar”) – published an in-depth report of multifamily rent trends for the third quarter of 2024.

U.S. Apartment Rent Growth (Graphic: Business Wire)

The U.S. multifamily market continued a strong rebound in demand during the third quarter of 2024, with 176,000 units absorbed, the highest number since the third quarter of 2021. This demand was just short of the 178,000 new units delivered in the last quarter, resulting in the smallest supply-demand gap in three years. Given the more balanced market, the vacancy rate fell 10 basis points to 7.8%, the first quarterly drop in vacancy since the end of 2021.

The national average annual asking rent growth eased to 1.1% in September 2024 compared to 1.2% at the end of July 2024. Since mid-2023, annual rent growth has hovered around 1% after a rapid deceleration in 2021 and 2022. Quarter-over-quarter rent growth decreased by 0.5% after seeing growth of 1.0% in each of the prior two quarters.

At 3.5%, Washington, DC ended the third quarter with the strongest annual asking rent growth of the top 50 markets nationwide, with Richmond and Detroit close behind at 3.4%. Nine of the top 10 best performing markets for annual asking rent growth saw rents rise by at least 3.0% from the previous year.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, annual asking rent fell by 4.7% from the previous year in Austin. Raleigh, Jacksonville, Phoenix, and Atlanta did somewhat better, with annual asking rent decreases from previous year ranging from 2.9% to 1.9%. Nine of the bottom ten performing markets are in the Sun Belt, where supply-demand imbalances remain challenging.

Absorption was led by 4&5-Star units, with just over 147,000 units in the quarter. But with most new supply aimed at the luxury market, annual asking rent growth remained the weakest in that segment, finishing September 2024 at 0.3% with a vacancy rate of 11.1%. This contrasts with mid-priced assets that benefited from rising demand for 3-Star properties, where vacancy sits at 7.1% and rent growth of 1.5%. Improving consumer confidence, lower inflation, and sustained economic expansion likely helped boost 3-Star demand.

The multifamily market is projected to add 636,000 new units in 2024, a 40-year record. Property operations for the remainder of 2024 and the first half of 2025 could vary widely depending on the market and the price point. Markets in the Sun Belt and luxury properties remain most at risk for weakness due to oversupply conditions, while Midwest and Northeast locations and mid-priced 3-star properties could continue to outperform.
