Today, Apartments.com, part of the CoStar Group, unveiled its Q2 2024 multifamily rent trends report. The U.S. multifamily market showed strong demand, with 170,000 units absorbed, the highest since Q3 2021. Despite 180,000 new units being delivered, the vacancy rate held steady at 7.8%, marking the first non-increase in nearly three years. National annual rent growth slightly dipped to 0.9% in June. The Midwest and Northeast fared better with a 2.4% annual rent growth, while the West saw only 0.5%. The South struggled with zero annual rent growth due to oversupply. Louisville led in rent growth among top markets with a 4.9% increase, whereas Austin saw a 5.7% decline. Absorptions were strongest in luxury units but rent growth remained weakest in this segment. Improved consumer confidence and lower inflation spurred demand, especially for mid-priced and low-priced properties.

Land & Buildings Investment Management, holding over 3% of SmartRent (NYSE: SMRT) shares, sent a public letter to SmartRent's Board highlighting the company's consistent failure to execute its growth strategy and achieve targets since its 2021 listing. Shares have dropped over 80% from their peak. Despite SmartRent's strong market position and valuable assets in the multifamily PropTech sector, Land & Buildings believes the company must explore strategic alternatives, including a potential sale, to maximize shareholder value, potentially earning a 150%+ premium.
