For the second straight quarter, office absorption did not exceed deliveries, so flattening performance is expected in most markets.<\/p>\n<p> Multifamily rents continue to grow, though the rate of increase is slowing. Investor interest remains strong, as shown by pricing, which rose by 8.6 percent year-over-year. Further, average multifamily vacancies in the five largest apartment markets (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia) are still low\u2014and even improved in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the report cautions, \u201c<em>there is likely pent-up demand for single-family product<\/em>\u201d as new-household formation outpaces single-family starts.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rclco.com\/advisory-chartbook-2017q2-2017-08-24?utm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chartbook <\/a>was authored by RCLCO Managing Director Taylor Mammen and Senior Associate Taylor Kuntz.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chart courtesy of RCLCO<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A strong economy and healthy property market fundamentals will sustain positive operating and investment performance into 2018, the advisory firm projects in a new report. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004188869,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21751,21748,21783,23891,21742,21747,21749],"tags":[32914,36905],"class_list":["post-1004188859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-hotel","category-industrial","category-investment","category-national","category-latest","category-office","category-retail","tag-e-commerce","tag-rclco"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
