Multifamily Permits Down 32.2% From a Year Ago

The pipeline for multifamily development has slowed due to continued challenges of higher interest rates and difficulty securing funding, and that includes filings of permits, according to RealPage.

Specifically, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for multifamily permitting in July of this year fell 32.2% from a year ago, according to the latest release from the Census Bureau. July’s annual rate was almost unchanged from June and represents the lowest since October of 2020.

What’s more, the more volatile multifamily starts rate almost matched that of permitting with July’s SAAR of 460,000 units equaling June’s starts rate. The annual rate of multifamily starts was about the same as a year ago.

Multifamily completions, meanwhile, plunged 38.8% from June to 297,000 units, down 23.3% from last July’s completion rate. The number of multifamily units authorized but not started decreased only 0.7% for the month to 133,000 units, down 10.7% from a year ago.

When looked at in different regions of the country, all four saw declines, with the biggest in the Northeast, which fell 42.7% to 47,0000 units. The South saw permitting slow 34.6% to 233,000 units; the Midwest was down 29.9% to 54,000 units and the West dropped 23.1% to 130,000 units. Starts were up only in the South from last year. Digging deeper, New York led the country in multifamily permitting, totaling 24,818 units through July or down by more than 16,000 units from a year ago. Houston followed in second place with 23,325 units permitted, an increase of 914 units from last year but 1,856 fewer than last month.

Single-family permitting and starts, by contrast, are inching up after bottoming at the beginning of this year. The SSAR for single-family permitting hit 930,000 units and increased slightly at 0.6% from June and 1.3% greater than a year ago. It was also a significant 24.3% higher than in January.

Single-family starts were also up to 983,000 units in July, up 6.7% from June and 9.5% up from last July. The starts rate improved almost 20% from its low point earlier in the year.

Single-family completions were up, too, 1.3% in July with the annual rate reaching 1.018 million units, up 1.4% for the year. And single-family units authorized but not started remained unchanged at 140,000 units from 141,000 units in June, down 5.4% from last year.

Multifamily demand is returning slowly leading to market stabilization

Multifamily demand is returning slowly leading to market stabilization; however, origination volumes will be below-average this year, reports Freddie Mac.

Multifamily investors are learning how to navigate a new reality. The market is returning to standard seasonal patterns, thanks largely to the strong labor market and increased household formations, which is supporting positive rent growth and stabilizing occupancy rates. Even better, the Federal Reserve has downgraded its expectation of a recession, a sign of broader economic optimism.

Healthy market fundamentals should help support multifamily investment in the second half of the year, though a high interest-rate environment continues to slow transaction activity. Freddie Mac’s Midyear Multifamily Outlook explains how despite macroeconomic headwinds impacting volume, positive momentum in the economy is helping to maintain multifamily market fundamentals.

Economic Optimism Encourages Multifamily Demand

Moody’s Analytics has downgraded its probability of a recession from 50% to 33% by the end of the year, and at the close of the July meeting, Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said that the staff is no longer expecting a recession this year. This renewed economic optimism, much of which has stemmed from a strong labor market and resilient consumer spending in the face of inflation, has supported a strong rental market.

“The idea that we can see some stability in the overall economy helps to lift expectations throughout the market, and we are seeing that with positive multifamily demand so far this year,” Sara Hoffmann, director of Multifamily Research at Freddie Mac, tells GlobeSt.com.

The strong labor market is driving household formation, which Hoffmann says is a key ingredient in supporting multifamily demand this year, despite broader market challenges. Low single-family housing inventory and high mortgage rates may also benefit multifamily demand this year.

Transaction and Origination Volumes May Continue to Lag

 

Although demand fundamentals may be enough to stimulate some investment activity, the high interest-rate environment will likely lower transaction volumes, and therefore loan origination volume, through the end of the year. Freddie Mac’s Midyear Multifamily Outlook expects origination volumes will fall 17% this year compared with 2022.

Origination volumes have been stymied by property valuations, which were down roughly 12% for the year. “Typically, we see property prices and origination volume move in tandem. When property prices are up, origination volume is up, and vice versa,” explains Hoffmann.

Freddie Mac’s report explains that national multifamily rents and occupancy levels will remain stable this year, but there is some concern regarding the high level of new supply entering the market.

However, Hoffmann explains that while multifamily fundamentals are expected to perform slightly below long-term averages this year, multifamily demand is slowly coming back. “The return of positive demand and modest rent growth indicate the multifamily market is stabilizing,” says Hoffmann.

Office pain, multifamily gain: One million units built in three years, another million before 2025

The largest construction boom since the ‘70s. That’s right.

Considering the rental frenzy that ensued post pandemic, it’s no surprise apartment construction in the U.S. has seen groundbreaking numbers in the last few years. Since 2020, 1.2 million apartments were delivered, with over 460,000 more to be opened by the end of December, based on a new report by RentCafe.

Where does Chicago stand?

While New York City might have taken the lead this year, followed by Dallas and Austin, Texas, following close behind, Chicago had the 13th-highest number of new apartments completed in the last few years, adding 25,323 new apartments between 2020 and 2022.

Here’s where the largest number of apartments were opened during these years:

• Chicago: 15,356 units
• Warrenville: 865 units
• Kenosha: 585 units

But the momentum continues. Despite companies’ doubling down on in-office models, many employees aren’t ready to let go of the luxuries of working from home and still need the perfect place to do so. Luckily, there will soon be even more options. Here are the cities that will see the most apartments completed in 2023:

• Chicago: 1,857 units
• Vernon Hills: 748 units

Across the U.S., it’s been reported that the number of deliveries is expected to remain high until 2025 when the current economic headwinds will begin affecting construction, as wel

Sale Leaseback Transaction Volume Rises 8.3%

Sale Leaseback Transaction Volume Rises 8.3%

Dollar volume of sale leaseback deals rose 8.3% to $5.1 billion in the second quarter over the first, while the transaction count remained in line with 165 versus 173 in comparing the same two quarters, according to SLB Capital Advisors.

Two significant transactions helped spur the dollar volume in the second quarter: Realty Income’s acquisition of EG America’s convenience store portfolio for $1.5 billion and Benderson Development Company’s acquisition of Kiewit’s corporate offices for $500 million. But most deals continue at lower numbers or in the $2.5 million to $25 million range.

Specific sectors fared differently and are worth noting. Industrial property transactions decreased from historical levels and represented only 39% of all transactions for the quarter. In contrast, retail, which many observers have worried about, represented an uptick and increased to its highest contribution level since the pandemic. 

 

 

Pricing trends. Sale leaseback cap rates have moved up 100 to 200 basis points from two years ago in 2021. The cap rate increase has been more pronounced in non-core markets for smaller credits with lower quality facilities. The impact has been less pronounced in core markets for higher quality facilities with stronger credits. Financing headwinds and inflation have been the two primary drivers, which have resulted in a risk-off environment for most buyers. Because the cost of capital has increased in the last 18 to 24 months, sale leaseback cap rates remain well inside company weighted average cost of capital or WACCs.

M&A arbitrage opportunity. In the second quarter, average purchase price multiples dropped across all deal sizes. While the M&A valuations have declined, this provides increasingly attractive sale leaseback value arbitrage across various industry sectors driven by the delta between business and real estate multiples. Attractive arbitrage opportunities are prevalent for the most part across many middle-market sub-sectors.

North American M&A activity. Deal value fell in the second quarter for a total of those closed or announced at a combined value of $467 billion. But the report said it should not be viewed as a dead market, just below the average pre-pandemic first half levels. The key reasons for less M&A activity are a risk-off financing environment and a mismatch between seller and buyer valuation expectations. Yet, corporate buyers who have strong balance sheets and sizable platforms are likely to benefit in this climate. 

 

Net lease REIT snapshot. Net lease REITs reported $5.4 billion in acquisitions for the second quarter, a rebound from the first when they were $3.1 billion. The reason is attributed to REITs taking a good share of acquisition volume. The net lease REITs reported $2.8 billion of equity offerings in the second quarter, up from $1.6 billion in the first quarter. 

By region. The South led in sale-leaseback activity by deal count, comprising 40% of all transactions. The Northeast led in dollar volume with $1.6 billion. In comparing dollar volume, the West closely followed the Northeast with $1.4 billion, then the South came in with $1.3 billion. Last place went to the Midwest with $0.8 billion. When looking at last year’s results, the West experienced the biggest decline in activity, dropping from $7.4 billion to $1.4 billion. The markets that face the most challenges are tertiary rather than core markets. But the good news is that sale leaseback pricing continues to be attractive across all geographic areas for those with strong credit and who are experienced operators, the report said
