by John Nelson February 23, 2016

IRVINE AND SILICON VALLEY, CALIF. — Ten-X, formerly Auction.com, has released its list of the multifamily sector’s top buy and sell markets in the United States, with Orlando ranked as the No. 1 market for buyers. The list was included in the company’s Multifamily Market Outlook report, which is based on third-quarter 2015 data from Reis and forecasted fundamentals from Ten-X Research. Rounding out the top five apartment markets for buyers are Raleigh-Durham, N.C.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Phoenix; and Sacramento, Calif. Ten-X ranked Orlando as the No.1 market for apartment buyers because the metro’s monthly effective rental rate per unit is expected to jump from $970 in 2015 to $1,169 in 2019, a nearly 21 percent increase during that period. The market’s vacancy rate is also expected to contract from 5.3 percent in 2015 to 4.3 percent in 2019. Ten-X expects Orlando’s multifamily supply pipeline to remain heavy in the near future. Even with the new construction, vacancies are expected to decline to the low 3-percent range and settle in at the low-4 percent range during the next few years. Orlando’s total employment is now at a record high, surpassing its 1990s peak and recently notching greater than 4.5 percent …
