Houston’s Booming Economy
Nations 5th most populous metro area – 6.5 million residents Over 2.9 million jobs – a 15.2% increase in total employment since 2010 (2nd in US) Largest millennial influx in nation – 12,400 annually (New York: -22,970) Rising wages and low cost of living – Average cost of living adjusted salary: $73,000 Extremely tight single family market – currently 2.6 months of inventory (US average:
4.6 months)
Houston’s Solid Multifamily Market
Oncoming supply will have a greater impact on multifamily fundamentals than job cuts due to low oil prices
Ultra high end product will experience softness in Houston No pricing discount has been seen, just less buyer activity and a smaller buyer pool Opportunity is in second tier Houston markets such as Clear Lake, Kingwood, Cy-Fair
and Pearland where market occupancy is around 95% and little supply is set to deliver
