Investors Continue to Pay a Premium for STNL Retail Properties in Colorado

by Taylor Williams August 7, 2018

Single-tenant, net leased (STNL) retail properties continue to be among the most highly sought-after real estate investments. This is particularly true in Colorado and California where supply and demand constraints have created sales with significant premiums. Investors are accustomed to paying low cap rates for single-tenant assets within California as these properties have historically traded for a significant premium in comparison to the rest of the nation. However, the premium associated with Colorado STNL retail properties is a fairly new phenomenon. This Colorado premium can be attributed to a considerable supply and demand imbalance. There are very few available STNL properties within Colorado, and substantial capital actively chases this product type. California-based 1031 exchange investors seeking higher yields and Colorado-based 1031 exchange investors selling multifamily properties at historic pricing (due to significant appreciation in rents and historically low cap rates) are spurring the increased demand. Colorado’s strong economy and recent population growth has also led to a lot of new development. This has impacted the quality of available properties, many of which are new construction with long-term leases. The median sold cap rate for a STNL retail property in Colorado was 6.02 percent in 2017. This represented a 38 basis …

Yardi: Average U.S. Multifamily Rent Hit All-Time High in July

by Katie Sloan August 7, 2018

The average monthly rent for multifamily communities in the United States rose $3 to an all-time high of $1,409 in July, according to a recent report by Yardi Matrix. The increase is thanks in part to strong second-quarter economic growth and healthy demand. Year-over-year, rents are up 2.8 percent. Yardi is a California-based software company serving the commercial real estate industry. The company’s Yardi Matrix data branch researches and compiles data through a combination of original research studies and references to secondary sources. Numbers are representative of 127 U.S. markets, though the 30 largest metros are highlighted specifically. Average rents have risen $41, or 3 percent, year-to-date. This is in line with growth figures during the same period in recent years. This statistic is encouraging, according to Yardi, because it exemplifies the fact that the expansion of multifamily has not run out of steam, despite headwinds of increased supply and affordability issues. Rent increases are healthy across the board, led by growing secondary markets. At the top of the list is Orlando, which saw year-over-year rent increase of 6.9 percent, followed by Las Vegas, which saw a growth of 5.8 percent. On the West Coast, the Inland Empire saw an increase …
