  • Market Study Of: Seattle–Bellevue–Everett MD Apartment Market Prepared By: O'connor Consulting Group, LLC 500 Union Street
    Market Study of: Seattle–Bellevue–Everett MD Apartment Market Prepared By: O’Connor Consulting Group, LLC 500 Union Street, Suite 650 Seattle, WA 98101 Brian R. O’Connor, MAI, CRE Date of Report: September 9, 2015 SEATTLE-BELLEVUE-EVERETT MD APARTMENT MARKET Overview By June of 2015 (our mid-year survey), the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett MD apartment market experienced rising demand, declining vacancy rates, and positive rent growth. The Metro market absorbed 5,452 new apartment units (supply). Considering this historic amount of new supply, it is remarkable that the vacancy rate declined from year-end 2014 (2.9%) to a mid-year vacancy in 2015 of 1.6%, although by year-end 2015 vacancy rates are expected to increase slightly, to 2.2%, in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett MD (also referred to as the Seattle-MD or MD throughout this report). The Seattle MD absorbed 11,101 apartment units by mid-year 2015, based upon 5,452 new units leasing and 5,649 existing units leasing, via the drop in vacancy. There is a large amount of supply that remains in the pipeline on the verge of entering the market. However, considering the strength of demand based largely on Seattle Metro’s strong employment growth, we expect demand to remain strong, with a predicted year-end demand of 13,489 units, the most of any year, including the great apartment boom in the 1980s. The success of online retail giant, Amazon.com, has been no secret. The company’s success has played a major role in shaping the apartment market in the Seattle MD and the Seattle submarket in particular over the past several years.
