Members phkrause Posted February 26 Author Members Share Posted February 26 Softer rents for the rich Data: CoStar; Note: CoStar rates multi-family buildings on architectural design, structure, amenities, site and certifications; Chart: Alice Feng/Axios Texas renters with the deepest pockets are more likely than others to score a deal. Why it matters: A flood of new construction is pushing down U.S. rents at the high end, where there are often more apartments than renters who want them. Demand for more affordable apartments is helping to keep middle-of-the-road rent prices from slipping as far. Zoom in: That's the case in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, according to real estate firm CoStar Group, which rates buildings based on design, amenities, location and certifications. Rent for middle-tier apartments in Houston and nationally was ticking up at the end of 2023. State of play: While the country needs more housing, most new apartments are loaded with amenities in prime locations. The high-rises that Texas' biggest metros built in recent years include perks like electric vehicle chargers, rooftop bars and towel service. Be smart: U.S. rents generally are still above pre-pandemic levels, analysts say. Prices you see in the headlines are asking rents, meaning new leases only. What's next: It could be a few years before there's enough demand to soak up the excess supply that's overwhelming some metros such as Austin, says Jay Lybik, CoStar's national director of multifamily analytics. What they're saying: "We've got to get these buildings finished, and start filling them, without having more come online," Lybik tells Axios. The pipeline for new projects is already slowing as developers find it harder to get financing, he says. The intrigue: It's not just rent deals. Another way to help fill fresh apartments is to hire an influencer. Dallas-based content creator Kenzie Elizabeth recently promoted a local high-rise, and some off-campus apartments near UT-Austin use student ambassadors.

Members phkrause Posted February 26 Author Members Share Posted February 26 🏗️ Postcard from Austin The Waterloo (right), a highrise apartment complex across from the Sheraton on 11th Street, shown in this photo from 2022. Photo by George Rose/Getty Images Those Austin rent cuts are no joke. Here's how the metro's major surplus of apartments helped me lock down a lower monthly rate. Why it matters: Rents usually don't come down for those who aren't moving, Axios' Emily Peck reports. The big picture: When my agreement came up for renewal last month, I was thrilled to see my rent didn't increase a dime. Context: I live in a studio in Central East Austin near several new, amenity-packed buildings. (Mine was built in 2013.) Two years ago, my rent for a different apartment in my complex went up a few hundred dollars. What I did: I checked my building's website and saw another unit with the same specs listed for nearly $60 less per month, across 15 months. The leasing office was quick to match that rate when I asked. Zoom out: It's expensive for landlords to turn over an apartment — especially now when new tenants pay less than those who just moved out, according to Lybik, with CoStar. I spotted swanky buildings in Dallas and San Antonio offering weeks of free rent. A former colleague in Houston says her apartment complex offered to extend her lease for six months at no extra cost. The bottom line: Experts tell me Austin is the poster child for over-building. While that's driving down rent for new leases, current apartment residents might gain some bargaining power.
