enhancer turned out to be ..

46Can / Will The US Apartment Industry Meet
Projected Demand?
- Land is more scarce and more expensive
- Construction costs more expensive
- Development nimby-ism more common
- Impact fees more expensive
- Urban development (where demand is more reliable)
is inherently more expensive - Mid-rise or high-rise vs. traditional garden
- Cost of land preparation (scraping)
- Parking (subterranean or decks)
47Marcus Millichaps NMHGRemains Bullish on US
Apartment Market
- High levels of future demand
- Supply more difficult and expensive to deliver
- Unlikely the industry will meet demand
- Current rents in most markets do not justify
development - Significant future pressure on rents
- US apartments will be dramatically more valuable
in 2012 than 2007
48Long-term Implications For US Housing
- Social experiement of using financial
slight-of-hand to stimulate homeownership
failed! - Greenspan Social engineering kept him from
recognizing the existence of, and then the
severity of, the sub-prime problems. - Bush Administration Was more pro-ownership
than balanced in its housing policy
49Long-term Implications For US Housing
- Density is a real trend
- Density utilizes better land use
- Density is easier on infrastructure
- Density is green
- Density enhances quality of Gen X lifestyles
- Urbanism is a real trend
- Urbanism is more aligned with 24-7 lifestyles
- Urbanism is more aligned with multi-tasking
lifestyles
50Long-term Implications For US Housing
- Demand / supply demand imbalance in next few
years will put significant pressure on rents - Rents will grow significantly faster than
inflation - The percentage of household income that must be
allocated to housing costs will increase
significantly
51Long-term Implications For US Housing
- The gap between workforce and high-end market
rate rental housing will widen - The demand for, and value of, LIHTC properties
will increase - The demand for, and value of, the LIHTC program
will increase
