As Reported by Marcus & Millichap in the 2011 Annual Report.
Inland Empire apartment operations will strengthen in 2011 as payroll expansion resumes and the pace of new construction remains constrained. Job gains will become a primary driver of renter demand growth. Total employment will post net gains for the first time since 2006, and occupancies will continue to rise, led by strong absorption.
Apartment Investment activity in the region will continue to improve in 2011 as long-term hold buyers purchase bank-owned assets. Opportunities to acquire REO listings and value-add properties will remain prevalent. Cap rates for these assets will average in the mid-7 percent to low-8 percent range this year. Demand for assets closer to Los Angeles County employment centers will outstrip supply.
2011 Market Outlook
· 2011 National Rank: 32, Up 5 Places. Inland Empire kept the market in the bottom 1/3 of the ranking.
· Employment Forecast: Total employment in the two-county region will expand by 1.5%.
· Vacancy Forecast: Average vacancy rate will fall approximately 100 basis points this year to 7%.
· Rent Forecast: Effective rents will increase 2.2%.
· Investment Forecast: Although REO and top-tier deals will dominate sales this year, some unique opportunities will emerge.
