MULTI-FAMILY DOING GREAT !!!

Multi-Family in Pierce County (Tacoma) is Flying High....

• One of the region’s strongest rental markets. Per Dupre+Scott, the vacancy rate is 4.47
percent and 5-year average rent growth of 5.4 percent.

• Diminishing supply of new multifamily construction within the Puget Sound region.
Approximately 2,500 units are planned in 2009 and only 3,000 existing within the Pierce

AFFORDABLE RENTALS HARD TO FIND...



Affordable rentals hard to find

A record number of renters are spending more than half their income on housing, according to a report released Tuesday by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. One in four renters -- or about 10.1 million households -- spend half their paychecks on rent and utilities, the study found. Another 26.2% spent between 30% and 50% of their income on housing. This is due in large part to rising housing costs and weak income gains. The center defines "affordable" as less than 30% of household income. Though most renters are low-income, more middle-income renters are feeling the pinch, too.

One in five of those in middle-income quintile are paying between 30% and 50% of their pay in rent, up from 9% a decade ago. The middle-income quintile are those making between $42,000 and $62,900. The number of renters is also expanding as the housing crisis drove many people out of their homes and prevented others from securing mortgages to buy houses. An additional four million people were renting in 2010, compared to 2005, Belsky said. Making matters worse, the supply of affordable rental housing has been shrinking. Nearly 12% of low-cost market-rate rentals that existed in 1999 were demolished or lost from the housing stock by 2009. And there is little new multi-family buildings being built in the wake of the housing crisis.
