Orange County is a chronically undersupplied apartment market. Occupancy tends to hold relatively constant, regardless of building volumes. However, the rent growth pace can still fluctuate in metro Anaheim, and there was a clear loss of momentum in pricing power during late 2018 and early 2019. Join Greg Willett and Adam Couch as they discuss whether the slower rent growth was a temporary glitch — or a signal of an increasingly competitive leasing environment.
We’ll discuss:
- Strengths and weaknesses in the local economy
- Affordability challenges in one of the country’s most expensive markets
- Neighborhood-level performance variation
