Market Update4th Quarter 2012

It is no secret that 2012 proved to be a banner year for the multifamily industry. Demand for apartments continued to grow despite new units coming online. According to MPF Research, rents grew across the US by 3%, which is well above the long-term normal 2.5% growth in previous decades. National occupancy was also up from 94.7% at the end of 2011 to 94.9% now.

All signs clearly point towards a strong, healthy apartment market, and we believe this trend will continue well

into 2013 and beyond.
