New Orleans Multifamily Market Contends With Inflation, Interest Rates, Insurance

by John Nelson December 4, 2023

The volatility in the capital markets over the past 12 to 18 months has wreaked havoc on many aspects of the economy, and real estate has not gone unscathed. Unlike the retail and office sectors whereby there is a fundamental shift in how people work and shop, housing is a basic need. The equilibrium between supply and demand in metro New Orleans’ multifamily market is still in sync. It would however be naïve to suggest there are no challenges that are affecting our real estate market. The “three dreaded Is” (i.e. inflation, interest rates, insurance) is not a Halloween mask but a euphemism that crystallizes the challenges multifamily owners are faced with both locally and nationally. Each of these factors singularly are powerful forces, yet the trifecta is playing a role in the current state of our metro market. However, despite these challenges, the regional multifamily market has stable occupancy with most submarkets reporting levels in the 92 to 94 percent range. Overall monthly rental rates average $1,263 with rents ranging from a low of $1,000 in Eastern New Orleans and Algiers to rents in the Downtown market as high as $3,000. Once again, the barriers to entry (lack of …

Bid-Ask Spread Continues to Throttle Down Multifamily Investment Sales, Say InterFace Panelists

by Jeff Shaw December 1, 2023

ATLANTA — Investors in the multifamily sector are having trouble getting deals done in 2023, and 2024 isn’t looking to start out much better. The culprit is the bid-ask spread — the gap between what sellers believe their property is worth and what buyers are willing to pay. That’s according to a panel of multifamily investors, several of whom described transacting in the present environment to be a “slog.” The panel, titled “Investment Outlook: When will the Bid-Ask Gap Narrow, the Market Stabilize and Transactions Resume in Earnest?,” was held yesterday at France Media’s InterFace Multifamily Southeast conference at the Westin Buckhead in Atlanta. The panel included Brian Grant, senior vice president of acquisitions of Equity Residential; John Leonard, first vice president/regional manager of Marcus & Millichap; Eddy O’Brien, managing partner and co-founder of Blaze Capital Partners; Matt Trammell, chief financial officer of Wood Partners; Kristina Lynn, senior director, of housing and alternative investments in the Americas at Nuveen Real Estate; and moderator Paul Berry, president and chief operating officer of Mesa Capital Partners, who recently joined the firm from CBRE. Berry kicked off the discussion by noting that “the bid-ask spread affects all of us.” While he noted that …
