2016 was a strong year for new deliveries in Greater Detroit, causing occupancy to fall slightly.
Billion of dollars of new investment are being poured into the Central Business District (CBD),
creating additional supply as well as jobs. Despite an increase in recent supply, demand for new
units is causing strong rent growth with increases above the metro's historical and national
averages.
As of June 2018, average effective rent in the Detroit metro apartment market was $951 per
month, up 2.6% from one year prior. By the end of 2018, average effective rent is projected to
reach $963, equating to an annual increase of 3.4%. Since 2012, effective rent in Metro Detroit
has increased by 16.6%
Through the first half of 2018, the metro's occupancy rate decreased 10 basis points annually to
96.5%. By the end of 2018, the market's occupancy rate is projected to decrease 50 basis points
year over year, to a still healthy 95.9%.
