Is the Cleveland, Ohio apartment market healthy for an apartment acquisition financing or to refinance your multifamily property?  Below is a market update as of June 2024:

In the first quarter of 2024, Cleveland experienced a higher average lease term for new signings, indicating that renters are committing to staying longer. This is coupled with a limited inventory of single-family homes for sale, resulting in residents staying in the rental market for extended periods. The demand for affordable rents below $950 per month has contributed to positive multifamily net absorption in Cleveland after a period of negative absorption.

Furthermore, the construction of multifamily units is expected to reach its highest level since 2000 in 2024, which may exert some upward pressure on vacancy rates. However, Cleveland has one of the smallest active pipelines on a national scale, and construction starts and project proposals have begun to slow. Overall, the normalization of construction, combined with limited single-family home inventory, is projected to stabilize vacancy rates and maintain strong rent growth in the near term.

In 2024, Cleveland is projected to add approximately 8,000 positions, with the leisure and hospitality sector driving hiring as it approaches its pre-pandemic job count. The city’s inventory is expected to grow by 1.0 percent, with the majority of new units being concentrated around Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. Rent growth is anticipated to moderate but still increase to $1,271 per month, maintaining Cleveland’s position as the most affordable metro among the major Ohio markets.
