Let’s take a look at the 2024 midyear multifamily market in San Antonio:
In March 2024, San Antonio had the highest vacancy rate among major U.S. markets, a trend that has persisted since 2016. However, certain submarkets such as Far North Central and New Braunfels-Schertz-Universal City stood out with vacancy rates 130 basis points below the metro level at 7.5 percent. Corporate investment in high vacancy areas and steady growth in manufacturing sectors on the south side of San Antonio offer positive signs for the region’s real estate market. With increased employment expected in manufacturing, government, and services industries, the area’s locally high vacancy rate is projected to tighten long-term.
The multifamily 2024 outlook for San Antonio indicates a 3.5 percent expansion in inventory, with the Northwest San Antonio suburbs and New Braunfels-Schertz-Universal City expected to receive the majority of new units. Despite a three-year high in net absorption, vacancy rates are projected to increase to 9.3 percent due to the shortfall of overall completions. While Class A and B units could experience declining rents due to new supply, the mean Class C rent is expected to continue growing.
In the past 12 months, San Antonio experienced an increase in vacancy rates to 8.8 percent, with Class A properties claiming the lowest vacancy rate at 7.9 percent. The average effective rent in San Antonio dipped to $1,228 per month in March, the lowest recorded since March 2022. Suburban units saw a minor year-over-year rent decrease, while the urban measure slid further. Suburbs in Far Northwest San Antonio, Southwest San Antonio, and the New Braunfels-Schertz-Universal City submarket received the majority of new units completed over the yearlong period.

1Q21 San Antonio Multifamily Market Report:
Prior to the shutdown, San Antonio was a benefactor of the state’s lenient business policies witnessing an unemployment rate 0.5% below the national average. However, on par with many cities, San Antonio lost a significant number of jobs during the shutdowns. The unemployment rate rose to 13.7% and 118,500 jobs were lost with the majority of jobs lost in the leisure, hospitality, education and health sectors. Once again, the metro benefitted from the state’s policies as it was able reopen and recover at a faster pace than most metros. Apartment vacancy jumped 50 basis points during the second quarter of 2020 but recovered by the third quarter. In 2021, the metro is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels and continue to benefit from lenient business policies, increasing migration and large supply of workers. Many firms are relocating to Texas due to these reasons and a number of notable firms have chosen San Antonio as their main hub. Amazon has pledged to open two distribution centers which will employ 1,500 people, Sea World is set to add 500 jobs, and Navistar is accruing new properties that will house 650 people. This combination of factors is increasing demand in the metro at a rate that supply is not consistent with, availability declined 120 basis points during 2020 with a net absorption of 745 rentals. In 2021, expect the average sales price to rise as inventory is not expected to match demand due to the growing employment and economy in the metro.
By the numbers:
Employment is expected to fully recover in 2021 as 40,200 new jobs are anticipated. Inventory in the metro is expected to grow by 2-percent which is lower than other Texas markets but, nonetheless, 4160 new units will be completed. Vacancy is anticipated to decrease by 50 basis points and end around 6 percent by the end of 2021. With demand outpacing supply, effective rents are expected to increase by 1.8% and climb to $1,027 per month. In 2020, transaction velocity declined by 5 percent with investors focusing their interests on Class B and C assets. Additionally, average sales price declined by 3 percent and average cap rates fell to a record low of 5.9 percent.
