I recently visited the largest investment in Texas, Samsung $17B factory in Taylor, TX. Last year we brought in an investment opportunity just across the street from this location just before the announcement. Lucky for the investors who got in into that deal. It filled up in two hours and we were 3x oversubscribed. This manufacturing plant is HUGE !! and changing the landscape of this small city north of Austin, TX. I am not sure whether I am just looking at one phase or multiple phases as I see there are three more parcels of development with Samsung name on it. A few friends from Samsung that recently relocated into Austin said they are requested to move to Taylor, TX as part of Samsung’s commitment to city of Taylor. They are hiring many other engineers as well. Samsung recently requested for an additional nine more factories in Taylor, TX. Manufacturing plants are the golden goose of job supply. They create opportunity for inflow of money into a sub market and create direct and indirect jobs. This is real estate 101 at its core. I was thinking that it’s going to be 5-7 years for Taylor, TX to be a big town but after the visit yesterday, I think it’s more like 3-5 years now.

A Recession Is Not a Foregone Conclusion Economists no longer widely anticipate a recession. In a recent survey of 65 economists conducted by The Wall Street Journal from October 6 to 11, they lowered the probability of a recession within the next year from 54% in July to a more positive 48%. This marks the first time the likelihood has dipped below 50% since last year. The primary reasons for this optimism are declining inflation, the Federal Reserve’s decision to halt interest rate hikes, and better-than-expected economic growth and job market performance. About 60% of the surveyed economists believe that the Fed has concluded its current interest rate increase cycle, with approximately 23% expecting the final rate hike in November and 11% in December. Roughly half of the economists predict that the Fed will begin lowering interest rates in the second quarter of the following year, as economic growth slows down and the unemployment rate, which stood at 3.8% in September, rises to 4.3% by June. A significant majority (82%) of economists believe that the Fed’s existing interest rate target range of 5.25% to 5.5% is restrictive enough to bring inflation back in line with the Fed’s 2% target over the next two to three years. Furthermore, economists expect that yields will decrease in the coming months, with the 10-year Treasury yield projected to close at 4.47% by the end of this year and drop to 4.16% by June 30 of the next year. 2024 U.S. Apartment Market Forecast Real Page’s 2024 forecast is optimistic, with expectations of robust demand, a remarkable year for supply, occupancy rates in line with historical averages, and an annual rent growth ranging from 1% to 2%. 4th Quarter 2023 Projections for 2024:DemandWhile job growth is predicted to continue slowing throughout 2024, the desired “soft landing” in the economy seems to have been mostly achieved. This perspective anticipates the economy will maintain enough momentum to support household formation.Moreover, a drop in inflation coupled with robust wage growth has led to “real” wage growth for the first time in years, reinforcing expectations of strong demand for apartments in 2024. SupplyIn 2024, there is a substantial supply of multifamily units on the horizon, with over 600,000 market-rate units expected to be completed, making it a banner year for deliveries. Even if supply delays become more common, 2024 is set to surpass the past four decades in terms of multifamily unit deliveries.The most significant change in the forecast is for 2025 and 2026 when supply expectations drop by 15% to 20% in most major U.S. markets due to a sharp adjustment in identified project starts.Rent / OccupancyExpectations for 2024 include occupancy rates consistent with historical norms, with the U.S. average hovering around the lower 94% range. Annual effective rent growth in many markets is projected to remain in the 1% to 2% range. What’s Happening In TEXAS? The Californization of the Texas Housing Market In 2021, California to Texas became the nation’s most frequently traversed interstate migration route, as per an analysis conducted by StorageCafe, a storage-space search platform, utilizing Census Bureau statistics. During that year, approximately 111,000 individuals, or roughly 300 people daily, relocated from California to Texas. At the outset of 2014, nearly two-thirds of homes in San Antonio were considered affordable for families with median incomes. However, by the conclusion of 2022, this figure dwindled to less than one-third. Daryl Fairweather, the chief economist at the residential real estate brokerage Redfin, noted, “Austin became exceedingly expensive during the pandemic, prompting spillover migration to San Antonio.” The most recent data available, encompassing 2019 and 2020, highlights that the principal source of net migration to … Read more

Austin’s real estate market has continued its meteoric rise. A recent study by the Urban Land Institute, detailed in an Austin Business Journal article, underscores this trend, painting a picture of a city whose growth and dynamism are unmatched in many respects.   Dubbed a “magnet city” and a “supernova city” in the ULI’s 2024 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report, Austin stands out for its rapid expansion and allure for both people and businesses. Despite slipping to fifth place from third last year, Austin’s presence alongside other booming Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta speaks volumes about its sustained appeal. The Industrial Sector: A Rising Star In my experience, the industrial sector in Austin has been particularly vibrant. Big names like Tesla Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. have not only invested heavily in the region but also enhanced its industrial prowess. With 17 million square feet of industrial space under construction as of the third quarter of 2023, there’s a clear indication of sustained growth, albeit slightly down from the previous year.   The population growth in Austin and its suburbs further fuels this industrial expansion. The influx of people not only drives demand but also provides a robust workforce for these burgeoning industries. This synergy between population growth and industrial development is a key factor in Austin’s ongoing success story. The Office Market: Challenges and Opportunities However, not all sectors are experiencing the same level of success. The office market, particularly in downtown areas, faces challenges in the post-pandemic landscape. The shift towards hybrid work schedules and other economic factors have led to increased vacancy rates and a reevaluation of office spaces.   Yet, it’s crucial to understand that this is not just a challenge but an opportunity for reinvention and adaptation. As someone deeply immersed in the real estate market, I believe that Austin’s ability to adapt and evolve will play a crucial role in navigating these changes. A Diverse and Resilient Economy Austin’s resilience is also evident in its downtown recovery, which is closely aligned with the national average. The diversity of its economy, including strong sectors like entertainment, education, and health, contributes significantly to this resilience.  Looking Ahead As we look to the future, it’s clear that Austin’s real estate market remains a hotbed of opportunity, driven by a combination of industrial growth, population influx, and a diverse economy. While challenges exist, particularly in the office sector, the city’s capacity for innovation and adaptation positions it well for continued success. For a more detailed insight into the Urban Land Institute’s findings, I encourage you to read the original article from the Austin Business Journal here. Their comprehensive analysis provides valuable context to understand the nuances of Austin’s thriving real estate landscape.
