Will the Fourth Quarter See a Return to Normal Investment Sales Activity in Student Housing?

by Katie Sloan November 18, 2022

The cancellation of the NMHC Student Housing Conference due to Hurricane Ian took some wind out of the student housing investment sales market this fall. The annual event is where many dealmaking meetings are held. Activity was a little slower during the third quarter due to changes in the capital markets climate, but is expected to pick up as the year draws to a close and more sellers bring properties to market. “August was a little bit slower, but now that we have the rent rolls for fall 2022 we are seeing a lot of assets hit the market,” says Teddy Leatherman, senior managing director, capital markets, with JLL. “Our team has never been busier from a broker’s opinion of value (BOV) or RFP standpoint.” The investment sales market, overall, has had a strong year. Even removing Blackstone’s $13 billion acquisition of American Campus Communities from the market, the student housing sector has had a robust year. Add that transaction in the mix, and the industry will likely have a record year in 2022. “The first three quarters of 2022 surpassed 2021’s volume and broke 2018’s record for annual transaction volume,” says Timothy Bradley, founder of TSB Capital Advisors and …

ATLANTA — Centennial Yards Co. has broken ground on two high-rise towers in downtown Atlanta as the next phase of the development plan that will turn the city’s Gulch district into a $5 billion multi-phase area known as Centennial Yards.

Seattle Metro Multifamily Market — It’s a Supply Thing

by Jeff Shaw November 18, 2022

By Brian O’Connor, Executive Director, Valuation & Advisory, Cushman & Wakefield The Seattle Metro apartment market has been surprisingly resilient. The market quickly bounced back from the COVID downturn at a robust clip and has continued moving at a healthy pace. During the first six months of 2022, metro Seattle absorbed more than 12,600 units. That already surpasses a typical full year of demand by several thousand units. From January 2022 through June, the market absorbed 3,779 newly constructed units — a respectable level. If you also factor in the decline in existing units, then the market absorbed another 8,886 units. That tells us that the supply of new units was too low…or demand was much stronger than we expected. The market had rebounded to a metro-wide vacancy rate of only 1.33 percent at mid-year 2022, an astoundingly low level. From year-end 2021 to June 2022, overall apartment vacancies declined from 3 percent to 1.33 percent. We do, however, expect vacancies to begin increasing slightly. These rates typically see an uptick as we head into winter. Rent growth also slows during this time. We expect to see the metro-wide vacancy rate start to rise just a bit by year-end 2022, to …
