— By Ryan Sarbinoff, first vice president and regional manager, Marcus & Millichap — Phoenix ranks third among the major markets in terms of both total net in-migration and job creation since the end of 2019. The region has also posted one of the largest jumps in median household income. Combined, these factors underpin heightened demand for housing and support elevated multifamily development. While total deliveries will rise for the fourth consecutive year in 2024 to a record high of 22,000 rentals, apartment absorption has notably kept pace through mid-year. As such, metro-wide vacancy is on track to dip to 7 percent by December. This would mark both a 30-basis-point decline from the 2023 peak, as well as an 18-month low. The improving alignment of supply and demand will encourage a return to rent growth, albeit slight. The average effective rent will end 2024 at $1,585 per month, up from the year before but down 5.3 percent from the peak set in 2021. Apartment completions over the past year (ending in June) were most prevalent in the Avondale-Goodyear-West Glendale submarket, where a collective 5,200 units opened. This represented a 23.8 percent boost to existing stock. Yet, the substantial wave of openings …
