Texas rent growth has slowed as new supply puts downwards pressure on rents and occupancy alike but many of its markets remain hotspots for apartment demand.
The Lone Star State is the rare example of what can happen to revenue performance during periods of intense supply pressure with strong demand tailwinds. Yes, supply will remain a force to be reckoned with over the next 12 – 18 months, but many markets across the state will remain investor favorites thanks to continued population growth and strong economic forecasts in key metros.
