• Five (5) cities in North Texas constructed multifamily complexes at an amazing rate for the last five (5) years, overtaking other United States regions in construction volume, as stated by the RENTCafe.

• During the five (5) years covered period, developers come up with a whopping 22,848 new apartments within the suburbs of DFW such as McKinney, Grand Prairie, Garland, Frisco, and Farmer’s Branch which represents around 4.5% of more than 500,000 units constructed all over the United States during the said period as per RENTCafe and Yardi.

• Frisco is the leading in the entire nation for total apartment construction during the five years, with the suburb constructing around 8,044 units. That is about 42% of its apartment stock is now a new product.

• As the population increases and the area deals with residents moving in, multifamily real estate is in heavy demand among residents for practical places to live.

• The DFW region is not reaching saturation or oversupply in terms of housing, according to Doug Ressler, Manager of Business Intelligence. To him, renting has emerged to be an affordable alternative because of the lack of single-family and restricted growth in income.

• The growing population in DFW of young professionals in the 22 to 34 age bracket is another consideration in maintaining a steady trend in multifamily real estate prior, during, and after the pandemic.

• DFW has a relatively young range in population. Generation Z and the younger millennials are in their prime period bracket where they are demanding in rental properties, according to the former chief economist for the Texas A&M Texas Real Estate Research Center, Jim Gaines.

• The average age of the DFW-Arlington region hovers around 35 years, with about 30% of the population in the 20-39 age bracket as per the United States Census Bureau.

• As the pandemic brought about by COVID-19 pushes young professionals toward the middle of the United States in search of practical housing and jobs, multifamily real estate specialists firmly believe DFW will still emerge to be demandable in terms of multifamily apartment rentals in the next several years.

• These have maintained priced parameters of multifamily investment sales significantly steady during these trying times.
