U.S. Summer Apartment Market Outlook
Now Available On Demand
While U.S. apartment demand normally surges during 2Q, prime leasing season is off to a comparatively slow start in 2020. The spread of COVID-19 and the resulting drastic pullback in the economy’s performance has had an unfavorable impact on near-term demand.
Occupancy is slipping a little in most areas and rents are declining to various degrees across many locations. Meanwhile, substantial ongoing construction points to quite a bit more product being delivered in the near term.
