Market Data for the Austin Multifamily Sector:

Even with the effects of the pandemic, Austin remained a popular relocation destination for businesses and individuals, which helped underpin healthy apartment fundamentals. A big draw was the Silicon Hills as companies and organizations like XR Masters and QSAM Biosciences Inc. have already relocated to Austin in the last year, and Oracle and Tesla announced they will be moving. With net migration nearly reaching 34,500 new residents in 2020, apartment operators recorded positive net absorption in most submarkets. This carried over to the start of 2021, where net apartment absorption was positive metrowide in the first quarter.

Leasing Demand Out Striped Supply:

While apartment demand persisted, construction activity slowed as builders faced disruptions in the workforce and construction materials availability due to the pandemic. After more than 13,600 units came online in 2020, construction completed on 933 units in the first quarter of 2021. With leasing activity outpacing inventory growth, average apartment occupancy elevated 100 basis points from the close of 2020 to 89.3% in the first quarter of 2021. Apartment operators capitalized on the increase by elevating monthly effective rent 4.0% quarter over quarter to an average of $1,302.

Apartment Austin Demand Drivers:

Economic expansion fueled by corporate relocations. Robust population growth has bolstered labor availability, luring firms to the market as they consider the benefits of Texas’ business-friendly environment. Last year, 45 companies from out-of-state announced plans to relocate to the market alongside more than 100 locally based firms that voiced a desire to expand. The most notable commitment came from Tesla and work is already underway on a Gigafactory near the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. This new plany will employ 5,000 people. Still, the leisure and hospitality sector remains beleaguered by the pandemic, down 27,400 positions annually at the end of last year. The vaccine rollout should help recover more of these jobs in 2021, allowing the Austin economy to accelerate into a new growth cycle. Fundamentals pressured by development pace. Construction will induce additional headwinds this year despite sturdy demand drivers. Vacant stock in the market grew by more than 4,600 units last year and this overhang will be exacerbated by a sizable pipeline. Twelve of the metro’s 13 submarkets will add at least 500 units to inventory in 2021, led by East Austin where 3,000 doors are slated to finalize. The Tesla Gigafactory should eventually underpin rental demand in the area, but East Austin faces near-term challenges after the submarket’s vacancy rate jumped 260 basis points last year to 8.0 percent. Metrowide, displacement from the winter storm damage could also push up vacancy in 2021.We see total inventory towards the end of 2019 for apartment units near 247,000 units, last year absorption topped 7,000 units with nearly 6,300 new units coming on-line.  Overall occupancy remained healthy at 95% with rent increase a little over 5% for the previous year brining average monthly rents to $1,280 +/-.
