Richmond’s Multifamily Sector is the Best-Kept Secret in the Southeast

by John Nelson November 8, 2021

Mention “rising secondary multifamily markets in the Southeast” and what might come to mind are markets such as Charlotte, Raleigh, Nashville or Orlando. A less discussed candidate is Richmond, which has a case to be considered the multifamily sector’s best-kept secret. It’s a secondary market that’s moving forward full steam ahead for two primary reasons: supply and demand. More people = demand According to the 2020 Census, the population of the city of Richmond stood at 232,226, a 12.7 percent increase from the 204,375 reported in 2010. Richmond is the county seat of Henrico County, which had a population of 333,766 as of 2020. This is an 8.6 percent increase over the 2010 population count of 307,201. More residents are moving to Richmond, mainly for one reason: jobs. But the metro has other appealing factors as well, incuding its geographic location and low costs of living and doing business. In addition to being the site of growing employment centers, Richmond is proximate to major East Coast cities. New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., are easily accessible via train or airplane. But Richmond is relatively affordable, especially compared to other Mid-Atlantic markets and gateway cities on the East Coast. With …

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The total amount for commercial and multifamily mortgages originated in the third quarter is up 119 percent compared to a year ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Quarterly Survey of Commercial/Multifamily Mortgage Bankers Originations released on Thursday. The third-quarter volume is also up by 19 percent from second-quarter 2021. All property types showed an increase in year-over-year originations. The highest dollar volume hike was for hotel loans, with an 866 percent increase. Following that figure was a 317 percent increase for retail loans, 156 percent increase for industrial properties, 105 percent increase for multifamily properties, 102 percent increase for office properties and a 45 percent increase for healthcare property loan originations. “Borrowing hit an all-time quarterly high during the third quarter, driven by strong or improving market fundamentals, higher property values, low interest rates and solid mortgage performance,” says Jamie Woodwell, MBA’s vice president of commercial real estate research. “Borrowing and lending backed by industrial and multifamily properties are each running at a record annual pace. And while year-to-date office and retail lending are each up significantly from last year, both remain below 2019 levels.” The dollar volume of loans originated for investor-driven lenders (such …
