Multifamily performance was stable in August, according to the latest Yardi Matrix National Multifamily Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The average U.S. asking rent rose $1 to $1,728, while year-over-year growth fell to 1.5 percent, down 20 basis points from July. Occupancy was also effectively flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEconomic growth continues to be stronger than expected, providing a backdrop to consistent multifamily demand. U.S. asking rents rose slightly in August, while occupancy rates remained strong at 95 percent,\u201d states the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These trends and much more will be discussed Sept. 20 in a multifamily-focused webinar with Matrix experts Jeff Adler and Paul Fiorilla. Sign up here<\/a> to join live or receive the post-event recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the short term, supply remains a driving factor in rent growth. Most metros with the highest year-over-year asking rent growth, such as New York, Chicago, Indianapolis and San Diego, have weak new development pipelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single-family rents dropped back in August, down $6 nationally to $2,104. Year-over-year, national SFR rent growth fell 70 basis points to 0.5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, some 190,000 multifamily units have been absorbed in the U.S. through July. That figure is below the record-setting year of almost 600,000 in 2021 but is otherwise a healthy pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the top 30 Matrix metros, absorption in absolute numbers in 2023 has been led by Washington D.C., Phoenix, Miami, Chicago and Denver. As a percentage of stock, Charlotte, Tampa and Nashville are among the metros that have performed the best so far in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
