At only 4.2%, apartment vacancies have not only fully recovered to their pre-COVID level, but they are also near their lowest point in more than a decade. The Class A segment, including many assets still in lease-up, has a vacancy rate of 6.5% vacancy, while less than 2% of units at the lower end of the spectrum are empty. Development activity is increasing, but near-term demand prospects appear to be solid and should position landlords to continue pushing rents.
