Strong Economic Fundamentals Fuel Record Multifamily Metrics in Phoenix

by Jeff Shaw February 4, 2022

By Matt Pesch, Vice Chairman, CBRE The multifamily market in Phoenix experienced a record-setting year in 2021. Market vacancy dropped below 3 percent for the first time, the region led all U.S. metros in year-over-year rent growth for every quarter and total multifamily investment sales volume topped $12 billion. This was nearly double the volume from 2019 and a 125 percent jump from 2020. These metrics are driven by Phoenix’s primary economic drivers of nation-leading population and job growth. As of October, Phoenix was one of only four U.S. metros to recover 100 percent of the jobs the region lost during the pandemic. This was driven by the stable recovery of long-established industries and growing sectors that are diversifying the region’s employment base. Case in point: Phoenix is home to one of the fastest-growing biotech sectors in the U.S. with the life sciences workforce expanding by 8.5 percent from 2019 to 2020, according to CBRE’s latest research. Likewise, large corporate office users continue to relocate or expand in Phoenix at an unprecedented rate, further driving the region’s robust employment recovery. The area’s strong employment recovery and population growth are the fuel driving Phoenix’s multifamily sector. The gains in the apartment …
