United States multifamily rents continued their impressive performance with a 3.4% year-over-year increase in July 2019, according to a new report from Yardi® Matrix.
Leading gainers included fast-growing Southwest and South metros Las Vegas, Phoenix, Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C., Atlanta and Nashville, Tenn. Rent growth was also strong in areas with concentrations of technology industries such as Boston, Seattle and Portland, Ore.
Even as multifamily fundamentals remain healthy almost everywhere, questions about the overall economy represent “potential for market volatility and slower growth,” the report says.
The average U.S. multifamily rent rose $3 in July, reaching $1,469. Sacramento, Calif., and Austin, Texas, joined Las Vegas, Phoenix and Charlotte as the month’s year-over-year growth leaders. Annual rent growth has topped 3% on a year-over-year basis for each of the past 13 months.
