Frame Med Center in San Antonio

The apartment market in San Antonio today is a mixed bag. Like most Sun Belt metros, supply exceeds demand in Alamo City. While property managers are struggling to lease up their communities, investors are sitting on the sidelines until interest rates stabilize and the market starts absorbing units developed during the post-COVID building boom.  On the plus side, population growth, a metric apartment investors prize because it feeds renter demand, is solid in San Antonio. In May, the U.S. Census Bureau ranked San Antonio the third fastest-growing city in the …

CHICAGO — Chicago-based Origin Investments forecasts that year-over-year national Class-A apartment rent growth will normalize by January 2025 and range from 2 to 3 percent, in keeping with historical rent growth averages. However, Origin also cautions that “unquantifiable risks” loom large over the market and could have broad implications for multifamily properties.

Metronome at MidCity in Huntsville, Alabama

As secondary markets, the Huntsville, Birmingham and the Gulf Coast areas can’t lay claim to the dramatic population growth and major corporate relocations that have driven apartment demand in many neighboring Sun Belt cities.  That, however, has not prevented some developers from rushing into Huntsville.
