Walker & Dunlop: U.S. Economy Displays Long-Term Signals for Recovery, Growth

by Sarah Daniels April 27, 2021

Back to Normal? The U.S. economy has improved significantly since April 2020, the peak of the pandemic-induced recession. The national unemployment rate stood at 6.0 percent in March of this year, well below the peak of 14.8 percent in April 2020. Companies were effective in implementing work-from-home technology, keeping unemployment rates for office-based service sectors relatively low. For those with a bachelor’s degree or higher, unemployment rates were only 3.7 percent as of March 2021. In 2020, third-quarter GDP growth made up much of the second-quarter losses, followed by 4 percent annualized economic growth in the fourth quarter. Retail sales also rebounded quickly, returning to pre-pandemic levels by June and continuing to increase through the beginning of 2021. However, the U.S. economy is still far from “normal.” Of the 22 million people who lost jobs in March and April 2020, only 57.8 percent had regained employment by March 2021. Stronger growth should return jobs to industries hit hardest during the pandemic. In March of this year, restaurants and bars added 176,000 jobs; arts, entertainment and recreation venues added 64,000 jobs and accommodations added 40,000 jobs. Still, employment in the overall leisure and hospitality sector is down by 3.1 million, or 18.5 …

Waterford, Development Authority Jointly Acquire Metro LA Apartments for $300M, Plan Workforce Housing Conversion

by Amy Works April 27, 2021

GLENDALE, CALIF. — Waterford Property Co., in partnership with the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA), has purchased Altana, an apartment community located at 633 N. Central Ave. in Glendale, for $300 million. The partnership plans to convert the 507-unit property to workforce housing. Upon taking ownership, Waterford and CSCDA will immediately lower rents for qualified new residents making 80 percent to 120 percent of the area median income (AMI) in Los Angeles County. Current tenants who qualify can participate in the program during lease renewals. The AMI for Los Angeles County is $52,574 annually, which translates to roughly $4,381 per month. To be considered affordable, a household would need to spend less than 30 percent of its monthly income on rent. For Los Angeles County and Glendale, this means that rents equal to or less than $1,314.30 per month are deemed affordable for households earning 100 percent of AMI. Rental rates at Altana currently range from $2,235 per month for a one-bedroom unit to $4,340 for a two-bedroom apartment and loft layout, according to the property website. In partnership with CSCDA, Waterford has now acquired four multifamily communities in California since the start of the year as part of …
