Balitmore Multifamily Market Data as of the first quarter 2021:

As offices reopened, Millennial and Generation Z workers accustomed to teleworking accelerated demand for multifamily stock close to the urban core. As a result, leasing activity outpaced new supply in Downtown Baltimore in the first quarter of 2021, increasing the average occupancy rate to 92.3%. In contrast, metrowide occupancy dipped 10 basis points to 95.7% due to supply side pressure. Recent additions like The James represent a new wave of Class A apartments capable of thriving in neighborhoods that are already desirable and established. Apartment operators are hopeful these units will outperform up and coming areas like Baltimore East’s Port Covington, which will start delivering new residences in 2022. Success in Downtown Baltimore is also underscored by a rebound in rent growth. The submarket recorded a quarterly increase of 1.7% in average effective rent, a resilient turnaround compared to the 0.1% growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2020. Metrowide, effective rent followed suit with a 1.6% average growth rate to $1,400 per month. Increases in vaccine distribution and a rise in hiring activity will help carry Baltimore through its post-pandemic transformation and solidify renters’ commitment to downtown.
