AUSTIN - The second quarter continued to reflect the health and vitality of the local apartment market, according to Austin Investor Interests.

Rental rates soared, rising another 2.6 percent over the quarter to reach 6.9 percent annually, while occupancy remained steady despite seeing the largest number of completions in five years hit the market over the last six months.

Prevalent new trends include the addition of outdoor enhancements involving common social/entertainment areas, pet related features and social/music venues poolside or in the lounging community center.

Over the next 12 months, the inventory of Class A units will rise nearly 44 percent.

The largest amount of new construction will occur in the central sector, where there is much leasing traffic, but many applicants are unqualified and those that are qualified fear the inclusion of student living.
