Austin is popular among apartment investors who are big fans of the market’s economy, cost-of-living relative to coast tech hubs, and desirable renter profile. While rental housing demand is strong, inventory growth reaches one of the more aggressive levels seen across the nation. Deliveries have outpaced absorption of late, leading to some deterioration in occupancy and rent achievement.
