The Atlanta market has also dropped nearly 19% and is transacting at $6.9B as opposed to the $8.5B seen in the third quarter of 2017.

There is an overall trend of increasing housing permits, as illustrated in the graph below. While the number of multifamily permits has been on an uptrend in 2017, reaching 7,884, it is still only roughly half of the number of permits that were issued in 2004, when it reached 16,232. On the single-family side, it is clear that 2017 was also on the upswing at 24,849 permits, but this is still well below the 61,231 permits in 2005. While there has been a clear trend of increased permit activity over the last ten years, it is still significantly below the previous cycle levels. Demand for multifamily can be summarized by the physical occupancy rate, which, according to Axiometrics, has remained in the 94% range since the beginning of 2014. As for single-family, the best indicator of demand is monthly inventory, which is the total active listings divided by the total sales. Both FMLS and Case-Shiller are reporting inventory in Atlanta to be between 2 and 3 months. Since a six-month supply inventory is considered normal, the Atlanta inventory is very tight suggesting that single family demand is very high as well. The Atlanta housing market as a whole is very healthy in 2018, and the demand demonstrates that neither the single family or multifamily markets are close to overbuilding. Future job growth and net migration will continue to drive single family pricing and multifamily rental rates up.
