Transcript of Giro Katsimbrakis on the Multifamily Market's Sustainable Future
Sustainable Future? No Problem. By Giro Katsimbrakis December 11, 2013 The multifamily sector has been questioned a lot recently. Why all of the questions? People tend to be skeptical of success. So with all of the success the multifamily business has been having lately naturally questions and analysis will follow. Is it truly a sustainable market? When will the market dry out? How stable is it? All good questions but results have pointed to little worry amongst the experts. When it comes to pure numbers National Real Estate Investor and the Commercial Real Estate Show have comprised that the multifamily market will be comparable to 2012 by the end of 2013. The national market analysis manager for Real Page Inc., Jay Parsons mentioned that approximately 47,000 units had been absorbed across the country for the third quarter totaling over 163,000 for the year thus far. Rent has also increased over 1 percent for the quarter and over 3 percent for the year to date. The numbers are now steadily increasing after an initial boom towards the end of 2012. With this steady growth it appears that it is a good time to buy in the multifamily market. Some have expressed concern of overbuilding being an issue but Parsons has stifled these concerns explaining that overbuilding has only been unique to specific markets. Moreover “construction has essentially flat-‐lined” allowing the multifamily market to remain currently sustainable.
Why so sustainable? Parsons and others believe with job growth being populated more so by recent college graduates and young, unmarried adults translates to more renters than owners. Parsons calls these individuals “Gen Y renters” and sees many developments tailored to this group. This allows some experts to not only believe the multifamily market is sustainable but expect a steady increase until the end of 2016. So will the market dry out and is it stable? With interest rates at record lows in some instances and the ability to refinance in early stages as well as
the option to pay cash, now is a perfect time to buy. Multifamily will consistently be a good choice in the future as it is the sector leading currently in the realm of commercial real estate. To be worried about market sustainability will always be a constant but as it stands all signs point to positive experiences in the multifamily sector nationwide.
