Sept. 14 Event at SkySong
This exceptional event will define the current and planned activities in and around South Scottsdale that will impact both residential and commercial property and business values. These activities will be highlighted by speakers from the Scottsdale’s Econ. Dev., SkySong, and SRP-MIC (including Talking Stick). In addition, SRP will provide insight on our long-term water resource.
Registration for the Sept 14 event:
New Apt. Construction Still Strong
In the first half of 2018 there were 18 projects completed with 3,576 total units. The total projected for 2018 is 46 projects totaling 9,781 units. Currently there are 61 projects Under Construction with a total of 15,769 units. These are primarily in Phoenix (24 projects), Tempe (8), Chandler (7), Scottsdale (7) and Mesa (5). There are an additional 33,454 units in 166 projects in the pipeline (16,046 Planned and 17,408 Prospective).
Rents and Occupancy Increasing
Strong occupancy across all apartments classes continues to drive all rents higher. Occupancy ranged between 95.0% to 95.9% with rental rates climbing 2.7% to 2.8% from last quarter. The report by Yardi Matrix suggests occupancy to hold for this year but start decreasing in 2019. Rental rates are projected to continue into 2019 but with modest growth. Yardi also reports that metro Phoenix rental rates percentage increase reflect the national rates, both decreasing over the past few years.
The Metro Phoenix Apartment Market (Q2 2018)
5110 N 40th Street, Ste. 110 Phoenix, AZ 85018 Tel: 602 677 0655
In the 2nd quarter of 2018, there were 88 regular apt. sales with 10 or more units. That’s up 33% from the 66 sales in Q1. Here’s an interesting point. Between 2013 and 2015, 2 nd quarter apartment sales averaged $76,847/unit. Between 2016 and 2018, 2nd quarter apartment sales averaged $124,907/unit. While a portion of the much higher price per unit is due to some new apartments being sold and many that have been repositioned, most every apt complex has gained substantial value in the past few years. In looking at all the sales and the number of “flips” it’s obvious that the “opportunity” is to acquire a solid property, in a reasonable location and reposition the asset. Realize that owners fully understand that the older apartments that offer this repositioning potential deserve a premium for selling. Apartment Market Pulse – by Scott
Run on Inventory but opportunities still exist. Metro Phoenix sales volume accelerated in the second quarter as continued buying pressure from west coast markets absorbed “on” and ‘off’ market supply faster than it became available. Scarcity of high yield income property opportunities in other markets is driving investors to Phoenix. With a diminishing inventory in our market and concern over climbing interest rates, we may see even stronger activity in the near term. For those investors still ‘on the fence’ considering purchasing, I would say one thing, “get it bought.” The forces driving appreciation will not last forever. Historic low vacancy and continued rent growth still provide upside for buyers. At some point, however, vacancy rates will climb and rent growth will stall, resulting in flattening or even declining appreciation. At present, there is still an opportunity for buyers.
Sellers need to be wary of the changing fundamentals.
Scott Trevey, CCIM, Senior Partner, Kasten Long Commercial Group, Scott@KLCommGroup.com We’ve written our quarterly “Apartment Owner’s Newsletter” for 20 years. That’s more than 80 newsletters – trying to accurately describe the Valley’s apartment market as best possible. As we noted in Q1 2018 newsletter, the economists paint a very “blue sky” picture for both the US and our local economy. With the announcement that the US GDP just topped 4%, the US economy is very strong. The impact of possible tariffs may dampen this number a bit in the future, but to strengthen the base of our economy, these types of adjustments are needed. Whether you are a Trump supporter or not, his economic decisions have been huge for the US. We’re not trying to be political, but the economy is creating JOBS, both across the US and locally. Metro Phoenix is also enjoying significant economic growth. One of our local economists (Elliot Pollock) recently noted that metro Phoenix represent 90% of Arizona’s recent GDP and JOB growth. JOB growth creates population growth, and a portion of our net population increase is moving into apartments. On top of this, current tenants seeking starter homes are limited on availability on homes in the lower price range. Since many folks do not wish to drive a long distance to work, the ONLY available housing is often apartments. Families downsizing like to be close to locations offering high walk scores. Many of the new apartments provide this plus the ability to “lock and leave”. The new apt. construction is absorbing the demand for the “tenants by choice”, but increasing land, material and labor prices will keep completions at reasonable levels. Across the US and locally, we have an unsolved concern with insufficient truly affordable housing for the “tenants by necessity”.
