The Phoenix Multifamily market informaiton:
Despite previously reported minimal contractions in quarterover- quarter readings due to Covid, as of Year End 2020, the Phoenix MSA continues to be a nation leader in year-over-year rent growth rising 4.7% to $1,284. This growth rate is four times higher than the National average which contracted (0.8%), but still $178 below the National average rent of $1,462.
Occupancy rates continued their upward trajectory and increased 20 and 50bps over-the-quarter and year respectively to 95.6%. This occurred despite delivering 2,189 new units,
slightly above the 3-year delivery average of 2,000 units. This marks the 36th consecutive quarter that occupancy has been above the 20-year average of 91.6%.
Given the current construction rate, 2021 should prove to be the highest delivery amount since 2009’s 9,315-units. There are 25,252 units currently under construction throughout Greater Phoenix which marked the 27th consecutive quarter where the number of units under construction was above 10,000. Investment sales volume significantly decreased over-the-year by 24% to $5.5B, with an average PPU (Price Per Unit) increasing 19% to $192,356.
Out of town investors:
We expect to see more California investors coming into this market to avoid some of the rent regulations that went into effect in January of 2020.
By the numbers for Phoenix:
As one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US, immense demand for housing in Greater Phoenix benefited apartment operators amid a multifamily construction boom. More than 70,800 net residents came to the Valley in 2020. The additions combined with limited available single-family housing for sale and a slow pace to home starts led to more than 9,600 net apartment units being absorbed in the last four quarters. Annual leasing activity was up more than 21% than the preceding five-year average. Leasing activity and development was concentrated in the West Valley and Downtown Phoenix, near growing employment nodes and major transportation routes. Metro-wide, nearly 9,500 units came online over the last four quarters, part of more than 38,600 additions in the last five years. With leasing activity outperforming the influx of deliveries in the last year, apartment occupancy increased 20 basis points year over year. At an average of 96.2% in the first quarter of 2021, the occupancy rate was 100 basis points higher than the five-year average. Also in the last year, apartment operators advanced effective rent on average 5.7% to $1,272 per month in the first quarter of 2021.
Phoenix remained #5 in the Top 10 Metros for the third month in- a-row with 0.4% month-over month job growth, or 9,100. As of December 2020, Phoenix’s nonfarm payroll jobs total 2,198,800. Combining job losses for March and April, Phoenix lost 214,400 jobs. Growth since May has brought back 181,800 of those jobs or 85% recoupment (5th highest in the Sunbelt, just behind DFW). If the current recovery holds, employment normalization should be achieved in 1H 2021. In December, Phoenix witnessed over-the-month jobs gains of 9,100. The largest over-the-month numeric gains were seen in Trade, Transportation & Utilities (+8,200), Education & Health Services (+3,700) and Professional & Business Services (+3,000) employment super-sectors.
Pre-lease absorption rates ended 2020 with an average of 13 units per property per month after hitting a temporary high of 18 units in Q3 as the local economy began reopening. Based on the average number of units under construction per property, which is 258, and assuming 90% occupancy for stabilization; current delivery-to-stabilization period is hovering around 18 months and well in line with the 18-to-24-month stabilization rubric used by developers. For the last 5 years the Phoenix MSA was growing, on average, 200 to 225 residents per day. Over this same time, Maricopa County was the fastest growing county in the United States and the Phoenix MSA replaced Boston as the 10th largest MSA in the U.S. While more formal population counts are yet-to-be-released, anecdotal evidence suggests that over the last half of 2020 the Phoenix growth rate increased nearly 25% to +/-260 new residents per day. If this holds true it would be the fastest growth rate the Phoenix area has experienced since the 90s, and the reason builders/developers/businesses are bullish on the Valley.
Average rent for Greater Phoenix was up 4.7% year-over year to $1,284 and up over-the-quarter by 2.2%. Occupancy for the region was 95.6% and 50bps higher year-over-year. This marks the 12th consecutive quarter occupancy has been above the 5-Year Moving Average of 94.7%, and 36th consecutive quarter above the 20-Year Moving Average of 91.6%.
