Southeast Florida multifamily real estate outperformance
The bull case argued for Southeast Florida multifamily real estate is that strong population growth, job creation, and a decade-low construction pace are driving high occupancy and rental growth.
The argument
The guest highlighted a Marcus & Millichap forecast ranking Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and West Palm Beach in the top five US markets for multifamily performance. He argued that high single-family home prices force working-class families to rent, while a 2-to-3-year lag in new supply creates a structural tailwind for B and C class properties.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Organic rent growth sustaining above 2-3% in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and West Palm Beach
- ✓Class C vacancy rates in West Palm Beach remaining near historic lows of 3%
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Rising insurance costs in Florida
- ▸Potential localized supply additions in Class A properties spilling over
Hear it yourself
"But in the Marcus and Millichap forecast this year, it's really interesting because for multifamily investment performance, Fort Lauderdale is number one in the country, Miami is number three in the country, and West Palm Beach is number five in the country."
