In this episode of Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer unpacks a timely Wall Street Journal article forecasting trends in multifamily vacancies, renewals, and absorption rates. With 1.2 million units delivered over the past two years, the market has seen significant vacancy increases in Sun Belt hotspots like Austin, Phoenix, Tampa, and Atlanta. Despite high vacancies—Austin’s hitting 15%—a promising shift in demand is set to improve occupancy, stabilize renewal rates, and open up new rent growth opportunities.
Mike discusses:
The future of rent growth and pricing power in 2025 and beyond
Renewal rate trends and their role in stabilizing the market
Insights from UDR’s Joe Fisher on why retention is key
