Market Intelligence: Q3 West Coast Update
The West Coast region hasn’t experienced the multifamily supply surge occurring in other parts of the nation over the past few years. At the same time, demand drivers have faced challenges as the population continues declining and so many residents relocate to more affordable parts of the country.
Rent growth has shown signs of stabilization over the past few quarters but remains stagnant. Occupancy in the West Coast region, which has historically performed well, recently hit the lowest level since the end of the Great Financial Crisis. Investment deals have also been more difficult to pencil in as the cost of capital remains consistently elevated for one of the most expensive regions in the U.S.
