Developers: Multifamily Construction on The Move!

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Homebuyer migration patterns continue to change. We are aware that affordability and job opportunities have always been important factors of migration. Now, according to the latest Home Building Geography Index (HBGI) released by NAHB, Residential construction continues to shift toward the suburbs and lower-cost markets, especially in the multifamily sector.

Multifamily residential construction grew by 14.3% in small metro urban cores and 25.5% in small metro suburban areas in the second quarter.

Multifamily construction posted double-digit percentage gains in small metro core and suburban areas, while large metro areas experienced a decrease in multifamily building activity.

 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the seasonally adjusted annual rates for multifamily permits (which include both apartments and condominiums) were up 19.7% from July and almost 53% from August 2020 to 632,000 units.
