Albuquerque Apartment Rent on a Rise, Say CBRE Researchers

The city's apartment rental business sector, dubbed as a standout amongst the most unfaltering in the country by CBRE, has seen housing and rental rates expand year over year.

CBRE's Albuquerque office dispatched new information that shows both standard apartment complexes, and those that offer affordable living, are posting rent increments.

Market-rate units saw average rent increment from $758 in January of 2015 to $778 in January of this current year. Affordable living units saw normal rent increments from $701 to $712 even with its usual income limits.

CBRE, which gathered information on 140 market-rate apartment complexes and 45 affordable properties, saw two-room, two-shower units post the biggest rent pick up.

While the rent increments might be a major bounce for a few inhabitants, it's not as quick as rents are moving in uther parts of the US. The real estate research firm Reis Inc. reported average rents expanded 4.6 percent across the nation in 2015.

Despite the fact that Albuquerque's rental business sector isn't developing as quick, Billy Eagle, a senior partner with CBRE, said that is something worth being thankful for.

He said investors like Albuquerque's steady market, since it implies in a monetary downturn, their properties are shielded from huge drops in occupancy.

The local apartment occupancy rate stays stable, at only more than 94 percent in January. The occupancy rate was 93.6 percent in the meantime a year ago.

It'll be intriguing to check whether Albuquerque's rental costs drop or stay level as more apartments on online listings. For the current year, Downtown's Imperial Building, with 74 units, and Sawmill's Madera Crossing, with 56 units, are soon to open.

Other proposed apartment ventures incorporate Titan Development's Broadstone Northpoint, Western Albuquerque Land Holdings' Westside complex, Uptown's mixed-use buildings and other affordable housing projects.
