Atlanta remains one of the most desirable markets in the country for investors due to its diverse economy, below-national average unemployment rate, steady increase in jobs and population growth. These market fundamentals have translated to a well-performing multifamily market that, despite short-term macro challenges, is in a unique favorable position due to its relatively low supply compared to other peer Sunbelt markets. Demand for multifamily has seen a rebound in 2024 and Atlanta has been resilient in the middle of a multi-year supply wave. Over the past two years, the market delivered approximately 35,000 units and that number is expected to drop to just 9,000 units in 2025 and less than 4,000 units in 2026. This will lead to tightening occupancies and strong rent growth. The city has already recorded its seventh consecutive quarter of net positive net absorption as of the second quarter of 2024, which is a quarterly high since mid-2021 at 5,799 units. New development, on the other hand, has been a bit more challenging due to the higher return on cost requirements, flat rent growth and a lack of meaningful relief on construction costs. Market valuations for newly constructed assets are near current replacement cost, which …
