AFFORDABLE HOUSING INVESTMENTS & THE PENNSYLVANIA ECONOMY

Multifamily investments in Pennsylvania are at an all-time high with more than $3.5 billion in sales in 2019. Major metros like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh continue to offer investors an attractive degree of stability, considering that average cap rates are more than a percentage point higher than those found in most prime Northeast markets. Pennsylvania also follows the national trend of increasing demand for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) multifamily assets as they currently have an average sales price per unit approximately 63% less than market rate properties. Investors nationwide continue to rally around the ability to achieve market rate yields, or better, while investing in high quality assets at a deep discount to replacement cost.
