REASON FOR OPTIMISM AMID A TOUGH 2024 FOR MULTIFAMILY

By Jordan Brooks, Senior Market Analyst ALN Apartment Data

2024 was another challenging year for Greater San Antionio. The market was hit with a deluge of new supply that sent average occupancy reeling for a third consecutive year.

Rent growth was almost non-existent and the availability of lease concessions continued to climb. And yet, there were clear reasons for optimism as 2025 begins to unfold.

All numbers will refer to conventional properties of at least fifty units.

JORDAN BROOKS

New Supply Swamped Apartment Demand More than 12,500 new units were delivered across the Greater San Antonio market last year. This was the largest number of new units since 1984 and more than double the annual average from the previous five years.

New supply continued to be mostly concentrated in the more outlying submarkets last year. The Greater New Braunfels and Northwest – Helotes submarkets led the way in deliveries. Other areas such as the Far West, La Cantera – Dominion – The Rim, and Thousand Oaks submarkets were also among the leaders.

Of the centrally located submarkets, only the Downtown – Riverwalk area was near the top in new deliveries last year.

In the face of elevated pressure from the new construction pipeline, apartment demand finally surged from the depths of the last couple of years. More than 5,100 net units were absorbed across the market in 2024. This was almost exactly equal to the annual average from the five years preceding the pandemic in 2020.

24

FEBRUARY 2025 | WWW.SAAAONLINE.ORG

The years since that time have featured wild swings in demand from a peak of more than 11,000 net absorbed units in 2021 to a net loss of nearly 4,200 leased units in 2022. The 2024 net absorption total represented a much-needed return to typical demand levels.

Strong improvement in demand was managed last year nearly across the board. Stabilized properties still shed leased units on a net change basis – but by a far smaller margin than in 2022 and 2023. Robust increases in net absorption also occurred in three of the four price classes. Only Class D failed to notch improvement – a development common in markets around the country.

More than 5,100 net units were absorbed across the market in 2024.

Average Occupancy Continued to Fall With a significant imbalance between new supply and apartment demand, average occupancy fell for a third straight year. The overall market average ended 2024 at around 84% - lower than at any point of the Great Recession era. The stabilized average declined to just under 90%.

Stabilized average occupancy reached depths last year not seen since early 2010.

While the struggles on the occupancy front have been widespread, two subsets of the market bear mentioning. After dealing with the brunt of new supply last year, overall Class A average occupancy finished the year at approximately 71%. As recently as the end of 2022 that average was 90%. However, for Class A properties that entered 2024 already stabilized, average occupancy to end the year was nearly 93%. That was roughly two hundred basis points higher than at the end of 2023.

Without new supply pressure as a feature of the environment for Class D properties, they have still struggled with occupancy. The average to end the year was about 85% - the lowest in more than a decade. This trough level was reached on the back of sustained negative net absorption. Over the last three years, this price tier has shed nearly 4,000 net leased units. A turnaround for this portion of the market in 2025 would be a welcome sight.

Rent Growth Rebounded Rent performance last year featured both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, rent growth improved substantially from 2023 to 2024. After a decline of 3% in average effective rent for new leases in 2023, last year saw a gain of 0.5%. Aside from the historic leap from 2020 to 2021, last year’s year-over-year improvement was the largest in more than a decade.

On the other hand, average effective rent growth of less than 1% was not particularly helpful for operators still facing higher operating costs. Rent growth has now been underwhelming for two consecutive years with the heady days of 2021 and 2022 fading further into the background.

All of last year’s rent growth was captured at the top of the market. Both Class C and Class D suffered a decline for the second year in a row. For Class A and Class B, lease-up properties drove rent growth. Even so, each managed to add to the average rent among stabilized properties too.

Lease concessions also remained a major feature of the market last year. A third straight annual gain in the availability of discounts for new leases brought availability to the highest point since early 2012. At that time, lease concessions were still receding from the Great Recession peak. Approximately 47% of conventional properties were offering a discount for new leases at the end of 2024.

It should be mentioned that the rate of growth in discount availability fell considerably last year. In fact, the annual increase in availability of about 18% was the smallest of the last three years.

2524FEBRUARY 2025 | WWW.SAAAONLINE.ORG AUGUST 2023 | WWW.SAAAONLINE.ORG

Takeaways 2024 was another challenging year for Greater San Antonio multifamily. New supply continued to far outstrip apartment demand, average occupancy fell to a level not seen in more than a decade, and rent growth remained elusive for much of the market.

However, there were also reasons for optimism. Apartment demand finally turned the corner. As a result, market average occupancy declined by a smaller margin than in 2022 or in 2023 despite the surge in new supply. Average effective rent growth was tepid, but did return to positive territory thanks to a considerable year-over-year improvement.

The outlook for the industry as 2025 dawns is arguably brighter than at any point since 2021. With new supply expected to recede substantially this year, the supply – demand relationship should regain a level of balance not seen in five years.

Improvement in the supply and demand picture would allow for average occupancy to further pare its losses. It is not outside the realm of possibility for average occupancy to finally manage an annual gain this year. But, with more than 7,500 new units expected, demand would have to increase considerably again.

With improvement in the occupancy environment, rent growth could build on last year’s improvement and move back toward the longer term 3-4% range. There appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for Greater San Antonio multifamily.

ADDRESSING MOLD CONCERNS

BY QUINCY JONES, BELFOR PROPERTY RESTORATION

One of the most common complaints we hear from our tenants as community managers is “I have Black Mold growing in my apartment!” Because mold is such a sore subject we actually use another name “FRANK” when we see mold or microbial growth. “I saw Frank in the other room.”

Understanding mold and how to prevent it can help alleviate these concerns all together.

How Does Mold Grow?

Mold needs 4 things to grow: Food, Water, Suitable Air Quality & Temperature

QUICY JONES

27

FEBRUARY 2025 | WWW.SAAAONLINE.ORG

Food: Any organic matter such as Drywall, Wood, Carpet etc.

Water: Mold needs a water source to continue growth, ex: humidity, leaky faucet Suitable Air Quality: Mold grows best in damp, dark, cool conditions Temperature: Mold grows best between 55 to 70 Degrees Celsius

What To do When I suspect Mold “FRANK” Understanding the conditions for mold growth is half the battle. First, Eliminate the source of water allowing the mold to grow. A Dehumidifier can help reduce the humidity but DO NOT put fans on mold! It is recommended to call a professional mold remediation company to correctly address the situation. Bleach is NOT an acceptable form of killing mold because It may take care of a few minor mildew problems but it does not kill ALL MOLD! In 1928 Sir Alexander Fleming was studying Staphylococcus bacteria growing in culture dishes. He noticed that a mold called Penicillium was growing in some of the dishes. A clear area existed around the mold because all of the bacteria that had grown in that area had died. This accidental discovery lead to the first ever antibiotic created named Penicillin.

Black Mold is not really Black!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as black mold or toxic black mold, is a variety of microfungus that produces its conidia in slime heads. It is sometimes found in soil and grain, but the mold is most often detected in cellulose-rich building materials from damp or water-damaged buildings

Quincy has worked in the multifamily industry since 2009 as a supplier, you may have seen him MC an event or two over the years. He became a member of the San Antonio Apartment Association when moved here permanently in 2012. Quincy has had the opportunity of servitude with both PSC (2019) and will serve on to the board in 2025. He is also a Lyceum Graduating class of 2017. Quincy currently works as the territory sales executive for Belfor Restoration San Antonio.
