Housing starts: Single-family vs. Multi-family

Nationally, 

  • single family is facing two opposing forces: lack of inventory/supply (no one wants to give up their 3% mortgages) and a lack of demand (due to 8% 30-year mortgage rates). But if Fed is done raising rates and they come down, this could change.
  • multi-family has a lot of under-construction supply is about to enter the market, which reduces new supply ("starts")

An influx of new apartment construction is helping to create a more hospitable market for Nashville renters.

Why it matters: Tenants have more options as the metro area's supply of apartments continues to grow while many residents struggle to buy a home.

    • Many property owners have responded by tamping down rent hikes that had become commonplace in recent years.
    • Meanwhile, luxury apartment complexes are rolling out new bargains.
