Cleveland Multifamily Market Report:
Tenants are moving out of multifamily properties in urban neighborhoods and heading towards lower costs and more spacious suburbs. At the end of 2020, suburban vacancy rested at 3.6 percent, less than half of the rate reached in the urban core. In addition, five of the metro’s suburban submarkets posted vacancies below 3 percent last year. This low vacancy rate allowed for a suburban rent gain of 1.9 percent last year, compared with a slight decline in the urban core. With few new multifamily units coming online in the suburbs amid an expanding employment base metro-wide is expected to hold vacancy tight.
New inventory in the city core will keep vacancy elevated. Nearly all of the units due for completion in 2021 are located in Cleveland’s Central Business District. These additions will likely place upward pressure on Class A vacancy this year. Many of the new units are redeveloped and repurposed of former office towers that are converted into apartments adding 350 units to the CBD. The coronavirus has impeded demand for higher-priced rentals in the city core, the need should improve as vaccines become widespread and more workers return to offices.
Investors closing on assets in good locations helped push prices up by 6.2 percent to nearly $64,400 per unit in 2020. Class A properties less than 10 years old can change hands for more than $200,000 per door. The average cap rate held steady in the 8 percent area. Buyers searching for value-add opportunities may find buildings in higher-vacancy submarkets including East, Central, and Southeast Cleveland. Meanwhile, investors seeking a steady cash flow may opt instead to look farther from the metro core in areas where tight vacancy is boosting rent gains, such as in Euclid or Lake County.
