Apartment Leasing, Management and Operations Continue to Adapt to Market Needs, Says InterFace Panel

by Julia Sanders

ATLANTA — For the past few months, the apartment sector has been in an upswing from an owner and operator perspective. Rents are rising and occupancy rates are high. However, some fear that these positives in the real estate market are going to be short-lived and eventually come to an end. Kevin Owens, division president of RPM Living, said that when the hottest geographic markets start to slow down, then other markets are going to follow suit. “Boise, Idaho is the hottest market from a rent growth standpoint in the country for the last few months, and it took a hit in November. So, if the hottest markets are going to start slowing down, then other markets are going to start slowing down. It’s just a natural progression,” said Owens. Owens’ comment came from a panel titled: “A Report from the Frontlines: What is the Outlook for Leasing, Management & Operations in 2022?” The discussion was one of the many that occurred at France Media’s InterFace Multifamily Southeast conference at the Westin Buckhead hotel in Atlanta on Dec. 2. The panel experts included moderator Craig Thompson, partner at Carr, Riggs & Ingram LLC; Kevin Owens, division president of RPM Living; …

But given the rising costs associated with land acquisition, materials and labor, the challenge has been putting together new deals. “Anyone that got deals done shortly after COVID hit, those deals are going to be very valuable because they’re going to be opening up with less competition on lease-up,” said Dean. Dean’s comments came during a panel entitled “What’s the Outlook for Development in 2022?” at the 12th annual InterFace Multifamily Southeast conference.
