Vacancies fell by 20 basis points during the first quarter of 2013, dipping to 4.3 percent. Over the last four quarters, national vacancies have declined by 70 basis points, a much faster pace than any other CRE sector.<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reis notes that apartment\u00a0 vacancies have now fallen by 370 basis points since the cyclical peak of 8 percent, which was recorded back in late 2009. By contrast, office market vacancies have only fallen by a miserly 60 basis points since fundamentals began recovering five quarters ago.<\/p>\n<p>The apartment sector absorbed a net of over 36,000 units in the first quarter. However, Reis adds, apartment owners only have another quarter or two of tight supply before a large raft of new properties come online &#8212; some 100,000 units will be added to the market nationwide this year, mostly in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home Prices Increasing Briskly, Especially in California<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>CoreLogic said on Wednesday that home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased 10.2 percent in February 2013 compared to February 2012. That&#8217;s the largest year-over-year increase since March 2006. On a month-over-month basis, including distressed sales, home prices were up 0.5 percent in February 2013.<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Take distressed sales out of the equation, and U.S. home prices increased year over year at nearly the same rate: 10.1 percent in February 2013. Month over month, the increase was 1.5 percent in February. In CoreLogic&#8217;s calculations, distressed sales include both short sales and REO transactions.<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The rebound in prices is heavily driven by western states,&#8221; Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic, said in a statement. &#8220;Eight of the top ten highest appreciating large markets are in California, with Phoenix and Las Vegas rounding out the list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADP Reports Middling Jobs Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the official employment numbers on Friday, Automated Data Processing made its usual monthly report on private hiring, finding that 158,000 private-sector jobs were created in March. That compares unfavorably to last month&#8217;s revised report, which found that 237,000 private-sector jobs were created.<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also on Wednesday, the Institute for Supply Management reported that its Non-Manufacturing Index came in at 54.4 percent in March, 1.6 percentage points lower than in February. The drop indicates continued growth at a slightly slower rate in the non-manufacturing sector.<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wall Street dropped on Wednesday, perhaps in response to the relatively weak numbers of the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 111.66 points, or 0.76 percent, while the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq declined 1.05 percent and 1.11 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apartment vacancies nationwide continued to shrink in the first quarter of 2013.
