Residential Phoenix Small Multifamily Market At A Glance

By sonoran • March 26th, 2009

In the small multifamily unit market, 2-4 units, there are 559 active properties.  70% are lender owned or short sales.

In other words normal seller should simply stay out of the market because it will be a pure fluke if they get a buyer even if the property makes sense and there are some very good properties out there by normal sellers.  Many are in very good to excellent condition, well managed and with little deferred maintenance but they are not bank owned so they get very little attention.

If we look at the Pending properties, there are 133 right now, only 4 are normal sellers.  The rest are lender owned or short sales.  Prices range from $24,000 to $250.000 and hover in the area of $37,000 per unit.

$37,000 per unit sound very attractive but often these need a lot of work.  Not only cosmetic work but deferred maintenance plus they are vacant non income producing units.  These need to be factored into the analysis.

Since January 2009, 122 units.  Based on this there is, roughly -since we don’t have March sold number yet, a 14 month supply of residential multifamily properties.
