Apartment Rents Teeter On Negative Growth As Supply Set To Surge
Portfolio Pulse from AJ Fabino
U.S. apartment rents might experience negative growth rates as early as next month due to a surge in supply. The annual growth rate stood at 11% a year ago, but rents in August registered a marginal 0.28% rise compared to the same period last year. Elevated mortgage rates, soaring home prices, and limited availability have anchored potential buyers to the rental market. Meanwhile, 460,000 new units are slated for completion this year, marking a 50-year high in construction. This influx is expected to erode landlords' pricing power. Stocks to watch in the housing development space include AvalonBay Communities Inc, UDR Inc, Mid-America Apartment Communities Inc, Apartment Investment and Management Co, and Essex Property Trust Inc.
