Multifamily vacancy decreased to 4.11% during Second Quarter.

Portland Multifamily Vacancy Down in First Quarter; NAI NBS Adds New Properties to Report
May 3rd
Multifamily vacancy decreased more than half a percentage point to 4.82%. Downtown, however, saw a significant increase in vacancy. This increase resulted in the addition of new product; we added ten properties totaling more than 2,100 units to the report this quarter.
Our report tracks buildings of 100 units and above in the metro area; we consider smaller buildings in some submarkets if they lack many 100+ unit properties. This quarter we added the majority of downtown units that have come to market in the past 24 months, excluding three properties that are under construction or have very recently delivered: the Broadstone Enso, the Matisse, and Indigo 12 West.

NBS Companies and Stratton Launch NBS Multifamily Management
Mar 3rd
Norris, Beggs & Simpson Companies and Susan Bowlsby Stratton, a successful apartment management executive, have joined forces to found NBS Multifamily Management, a company dedicated to managing apartment communities of 100 units or more around the West Coast.
Why start a new venture in this economic climate? NBS Companies President J. Clayton Hering said he expects that as the job market grows, the demand for housing will increase, with a short supply of single-family and multifamily housing due to the significant reduction in construction over the last several years. With single-family lenders requiring greater equity and better credit, fewer people will be able to buy houses and will thus reenter the apartment market. More >
