Market Intelligence: Q2 Mountains/Desert Region Update
Now Available On Demand
Join RealPage® market experts Carl Whitaker and Meggan Taylor for a glimpse into apartment market fundamentals among the nation’s Rocky Mountain and Desert Southwest metros.
Once largely an afterthought among major industry personas, the Rocky Mountain/Desert Southwest region has become an oasis for both renters and investment capital as challenges among West Coast peer markets have increased over the past 12-24 months.
Although many of these markets are small compared to major population centers like Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle, a relatively large influx of new residents has boosted performance — and investment — in the region like never before.
Questions surrounding the longer-term viability of these markets persist, however. Can these markets keep attracting population growth, or will there be an outflow of residents back into West Coast states? Additionally, how much new supply can be supported in a pocket of the country that was hit hard during the Great Recession of 2008-2009?
Markets covered in this educational update include:
- Albuquerque
- Boise City
- Boulder
- Colorado Springs
- Fort Collins
- Denver
- Las Vegas
- Phoenix
- Provo-Orem
- Reno
- Salt Lake City
- Tucson
