Rent/Tenant environment – Albeit anecdotal, we are hearing reports of tenant push-back on rent increases and move-ins asking for concessions.   We do continuously monitor, but be aware that rent growth may be flattening.

Apartment pricing –  This will be driven by income growth and interest rates.  However, for units int he right location, buyers are still driving pricing with close-in units pushing the $200K/unit price mark.

YOUR PROPERTY – If you’d like a further breakdown on how in-demand your neighborhood is call.  Be aware of the current value of your apartment with unsolicited offers.  We offer valuations that include expense analysis with rent and sales comparables to back up any pricing.
