Up Close and Local: Orlando Market Update
Now Available On Demand
Orlando’s apartment performance metrics have shown some resilience through the pandemic, despite big job losses that have occurred in the metro’s key hospitality job sector. Occupancy remains in good shape, and rent cuts have been held to levels below the expectations of some observers. Complicating the metro’s prospects, new supply is now increasing.
Join RealPage Chief Economist Greg Willett and Data Scientist Arben Skivjani for an examination of what’s shaping the apartment sector performance in Orlando and what’s likely to happen over the near term.
Discussion topics include:
- The local economy and other apartment demand influences
- Occupancy and rent growth levels
- Construction patterns in total and by neighborhood
- Property sales and pricing
