As the table illustrates, the largest increase was seen in Alexandria, and at just 4%, it is significantly lower than the double digit increases seen over the last 2-3 years. As demand normalizes and more apartment product comes online, the rise in rents displayed above will more become the norm.
"We expect the region-wide vacancy rate for stabilized Class A apartment properties will increase by 80 basis points in three years compared to today – resulting in a metro-wide rate of 5.1%," Delta said in its latest report. "We expect rent growth to continue moderating closer to the long-term average in 2023 and beyond. Rent growth will average between 3.2% and 4.2% in 2023-2025."
