During this reporting period, there has been very minimal movement recorded in the leading metrics, although national NER did post another sizeable gain. National rental markets seem to be holding even as Delta strain increases around the nation. These factors present the biggest threat to national rental rates since the start of the surge late this last winter. Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we report on these factors.

 

Key Takeaways – Data as 8/15:

 

  • Traffic and Leases: National traffic and lease rates remained stable this week at 8.7 visitors per week and 2.7 signed leases per week, respectively.
  • San Jose, down 5% this week, is still the most trafficked rental market in the country at 11.9 visitors per week. The week of June 6th, the market was recording rates of 17.1 visitors per week, experiencing a drop of 31% over the last two months.
  • Houston is the top market for leases, adding 3.3 executed agreements a week.
  • Occupancy and Leased Percentage: National occupancy rates ticked up 10 basis points to 96.1%, nearly recovering all ground lost last week, while the national leased rate remained fixed at 97.5%.
  • Los Angeles experienced the most growth in both metrics, bumping up 40 bps in occupancy to 95.8%, and 60 bps in the leased rate to 97.7%.
  • Net Effective Rent: Net effective rent is up 60 bps this week, rising to $1,857. Notably, every single metro experienced positive growth, save for Washington, D.C. and Dallas, which experienced no change.
  • Seattle is the top mover this week, climbing 3.1%, followed by San Francisco with 2.6% growth. This represents a notable bump for the nation’s top tech markets, whose employers have finally, albeit slowly, started recalling employees back to the office.
  • Month-over-month, these two markets only trail Tampa, with 5.7% growth.

It was a fairly quiet week in the U.S. economy as the Thanksgiving holiday limited data releases last week. Existing trends continued from the prior week as the 10-year treasury continued to drift lower. The yield on the 10-year is now 4.42%, nearly 60 basis points below its recent peak in mid-October.

Chart of The Week – November 27th 2023

This week we examine the top and bottom performing markets on a net effective rent basis. We have talked a lot about the markets that are both outperforming and underperforming in the previous charts of the week and rent and operating trends report, yet a key distinction that continues to hold true is the severity of the declines in the worst performing markets compared to the modest gains in the best performing markets.
