ing increasing interest in the Philadelphia and surrounding markets, it is and has historical- ly been a private capital market. There is also an increased de- mand for apartment properties due to the fact that the buyer pool is getting larger and larger. “People are scared of the stock market. We are seeing more and more investors taking their money out of their retirement accounts and investing inmulti- family,” said Corey Lonberger , a managing partner at RRA. “Our team focuses on multi- family private capital deals throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

When you look at these three factors it is easy to see why the demand for apartment proper- ties in the Tri-State area is so high. With this being an election year, along with the struggling stock market, we do not expect that the Federal Reserve will be doing any drastic increases to rates anytime soon.

This in turn helps sellers achieve “top of the market” pricing as interest rates and cap rates are highly correlated with one another. “With borrowers obtaining 100- 150 BPS spreads between their interest rate and cap rate, deals are making sense compared to alternative investments,” said Mark Duszak , a director at Rittenhouse Realty Advisors (RRA) . The lower the cap rate, the higher the price sellers are able to obtain. “This is the main reason why we have been seeing historically high prices per unit in the Tri-State area,” said Ken Wellar , a managing partner at RRA.

With these low interest rates, it would be expected that more product type would be changing hands, but that is not the case. The majority of the product in the area, spe- cifically the Philadelphia MSA, is owned by family owned private capital operators. Historically this buyer pool has been less likely to sell when compared to “institutional” investors as they are building their portfolios for future generations, rather than holding for a certain time period and then selling to meet investor required action items.
