Orlando Sustains High Level of Multifamily Demand, Leading to New Construction

by John Nelson October 8, 2018

Fundamentals in the Orlando multifamily market are exceptionally strong and should remain healthy as long as this economic cycle continues. Following a period of no construction after the recession, new supply is finally starting to catch up with pent-up demand held in check during the downturn. Even with over 7,000 units projected to be delivered annually for the next several years, occupancy rates should hold strong between 95 and 96 percent. Supported by continued economic expansion in the Orlando metro area as well as strong population and job growth, we remain bullish on the multifamily market and do not see the potential risk of oversupply any time in the near future. The justification for continued new construction makes sense given Orlando’s history. As in most markets throughout the country, the recession halted new multifamily development in Orlando. From 2007 to 2009, there was virtually no new supply added to the market. It was not until 2010 that construction picked up again, and by that time, post-recession job creation had already taken off, causing a tremendous amount of pent up demand for housing. Each year since, new supply has been quickly leased, and it has not yet slowed. As of July …
