📈 Exciting news in the real estate market! According to the latest Yardi Matrix National Multifamily Report, national asking rents experienced their most significant surge in 20 months, reaching $1,721 in March with a year-over-year growth rate of 0.9%. 🏙️ Among the top 30 metros, 13 previously saw negative rent growth, but the tide is turning, with only two metros experiencing negative growth in March. This positive trend is particularly evident in the Northeast and Midwest, where markets like New York City and Columbus, Ohio, are leading with impressive year-over-year growth rates. 💼 While economic concerns and a robust supply pipeline have fueled speculation about the sector’s performance this year, March’s data provides a reassuring outlook. Though rent growth may remain tempered due to affordability and new supply, the overall tone early in 2024 is encouraging.

High Occupancy vs. Rents vs. Tenant Quality: The Multifamily Balancing Act!! In multifamily, this is the #1 debate: Should I lower rents to boost occupancy? The knee-jerk response is often, "Of course—cash flow is king!" But it’s not that simple, and sometimes it’s the wrong move. Here’s why: When rents are dropped, properties often attract tenants who are more rent-burdened and less stable. This can create challenges down the line, especially during lease renewals. Existing tenants notice when new residents are paying less and may push back against flat renewals or modest increases. Worse, this emotional response can lead to turnover, driving vacancy even higher. I’d rather be at 88% occupancy with stable rents than 91% with reduced rents that erode tenant quality and future NOI. Remember, cash today isn’t always king when you’re thinking about long-term value, refinancing, or exit strategies. Of course, if your occupancy is at 78%, it’s a different story—but in most cases, strategic restraint beats chasing short-term gains. What’s your take? Would you hold rents or prioritize occupancy?
