Q4 2024 North Houston Commercial Real Estate Market Report
Classic Supply and Demand
The main point is the classic principle of economics – supply and demand and its impact on prices. As we all know the principle is that as supply tightens and demand either stays strong or grows, prices rise. The first half is well underway both nationally and locally in the multifamily market and the latter, in the form of rent growth, is perhaps just around the corner.
Multifamily Starts Slowing
Nationally multifamily starts are at their lowest in over five years and have declined for 6 straight quarters going back to Q1 of 2023. Nowhere has this been more dramatic than in Houston.
Annual rent growth Bottomed Out
Nationally multifamily starts are at their lowest in over five years and have declined for 6 straight quarters going back to Q1 of 2023. Nowhere has this been more dramatic than in Houston.
