Multifamily Outlook: Growth Undiminished by Pandemic-Related Disruptions

by Sarah Daniels August 23, 2021

The Roaring ’20s and the Great Wealth Transfer The United States is well on a path of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown that began in March 2020. More than 60 percent of the U.S. population has now received at least one dose of the vaccine, and more than half are fully vaccinated. Those figures increase significantly by age, particularly for the 65+ population[1]. The economy is booming this year — it is estimated to have grown by 7.8 percent[2] in the second quarter following 6.4 percent growth in the first quarter of 2021. Unemployment remains low at 5.9 percent in June due to 7.9 million jobs created in the past year.

Seattle has enjoyed its emergence as a global city and, as such, exemplified “New Kid-itis” — yet it’s roaring back to life, and critics should take notice. It was only 18 months ago that Seattle could do no wrong. The city was teeming with young, upwardly mobile and highly employable apartment renters clamoring for places to live while selecting high earning jobs of their choice. Skyrocketing demand across nearly all sectors of commercial real estate was palpable, especially apartments. The impacts of COVID-19 and social unrest that ravaged the nation had a disproportionate impact on many urban centers. Arguably, its effects on Seattle lingered the longest. Demand for high-rise office space remained questionable as apartment renters second guessed urban living altogether. Civic dysfunction amplified the questioning of downtown Seattle’s livability, causing the apartment market to noticeably suffer. Yet spring is a time for regeneration and growth, and spring 2021 marked a turning point for the Seattle region and the entire apartment market. Occupancy Returns to Pre-Pandemic Levels The Seattle region’s multifamily market unquestionably enjoyed a bull run this past decade. Average …
