A Look Back
After a bleak 2006 where annual absorption totaled -9,632 units, positive absorption figures in 2007 were a welcome relief. The market absorbed a strong 7,516 units over the year, with all but one class posting positive figures. The Class A market fared the best over the year, staying positive and absorbing 5,316 units. After an awful 2006, the Class B market turned the corner in 2007, absorbing 1,350 units. Absorption in the Class C market was at 869 units, while Class D absorbed -19 units.

Despite positive absorption for the year, overall Houston occupancy dipped 0.44 points to 88.17% to close out 2007. Class A occupancy suffered the largest drop in occupancy in 2007, decreasing from 90.77% to 88.61%. Class B occupancy was the only class to post a positive change in 2007, increasing from 89.46% to 89.78%. Occupancy in the Class C market fell 0.37 points, while Class D occupancy fell 0.05 points in 2007. The decline in occupancy came as a result of elevated construction activity. In 2007, 40 projects totaling 10,070 units consisting of Class A and tax-credit units were delivered to the market, while another 24,614 units are currently under-construction. With an additional 16,935 units on the drawing board, it appears construction activity will remain elevated throughout 2008.

In contrast to 2007’s decrease in occupancy levels, Houston rental rates posted an increase for the year. Overall rents increased $0.017 per square foot (psf) to $0.848 psf, their highest level on record. All Classes reported yearly increases in rental rates, with the Class A and C markets enjoying the largest increases. Average rents in the Class A market closed out the year at $1.122 psf, Class B rents are at $0.821, Class C rents are at $0.698 psf, while Class D rents are at $0.607 psf.

All apartment classes enjoyed a modest rent per unit increase in 2007, with the overall rent per unit rate raising $15.37 per unit. The increases in the individual classes ranged from 1.1% in the Class B market to 1.9% in the Class D market. Class A rent per unit increased $19.26 to $1,058.95. The Class B market posted a rent per unit increase of $7.22 to $666.06, which posted a slight 1.1% yearly increase over the 2006 figure of $658.84. Class C enjoyed a 1.6% rent per unit increase for 2007, which was $9.14. Class C rent per unit finished the year at $564.79. The Class D market registered the biggest rent per unit gain of all classes in Houston for 2007. Class D rent per unit increased 1.9% to $533.71.

Methodology
Data Collection
Our in-house research team continuously updates over 100 fields of data for nearly 6,000 apartment complexes in our database. We update at least 90% of properties on a monthly basis to generate accurate market trend reports on rents, concessions, occupancy, etc. Our monthly surveys also update other property-specific data such as fees, policies, management, and owner information. On a less-frequent basis we update amenities, schools, and other data fields that change rarely. We perform current and historical data audit after we close each month's survey to identify any data inconsistencies or incorrectly keyed values.

Research
We monitor various news media, press releases, marketing materials, web-sites, CAD records, permit issuance, and other sources to capture new construction, planned projects, financing, and sales. Our researchers conduct phone interviews with relevant developers, brokers, or lenders to gather information on new construction and sales. We add properties to our database on a regular basis to ensure we offer the most up-to-date and complete apartment database.

Market Coverage
Our online apartment database covers all four major Texas metro markets - Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The Austin market includes Caldwell, Hays, Travis, Bastrop, and Williamson counties. The DFW market covers Dallas, Tarrant, Wise, Denton, Collin, Hunt, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, Johnson, Parker, and Erath counties. The Houston market includes Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bed, Brazoria, and Galveston counties (Brazos county is also included in the database but excluded from the trend reports). San Antonio includes Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, and Kerr counties.

We subdivide each market into submarkets (see map above): Austin has 23 submarkets, DFW has 50 submarkets, Houston has 53 submarkets, and San Antonio has 26 submarkets. The submarkets are based on neighborhood-style areas with defining boundaries such as major roads and other factors that establish a neighborhood. This approach allows the user to view distinct areas of properties that have evolved into their own sections of town and can be identified together.

Glossary
Absorption = Change of Occupied Units, including new construction. Absorption is a proxy for demand.

Occupancy = Percentage of physically occupied units on property.

Pre-leased = Net of percentage of units that have been pre-leased but not yet occupied and units on notice to be vacated.

Rents = Market rents (excluding concessions).

Class = Properties are classified as A, B, C, D, or Unclassified (U) based on various factors, such as age, location, amenities, curb appeal, overall condition, rents, etc. Class A properties are generally less than 10 years old, have excellent amenities, prime location, and great appeal, thus they tend to have the highest rents. Older properties built in early 1900s that were converted from warehouses or office buildings, or older apartment projects that have had major renovations may also be classified as A. Class B properties are generally 10 to 20 years old, have good locations, good level of amenities, are somewhat less appealing than Class A projects, and are in overall good condition. New affordable projects are also classified as B. Class C projects are usually 20 to 30 years old, have few amenities, are in poor locations, and are not well maintained. Class D projects are generally more than 30 years old, in poor condition, have no or limited amenities, are in poor locations, and have poor curb appeal. They tend to have the lowest rents per unit (although per-square-foot rents may be high since the units are usually small). Unclassified or Class U projects are senior housing, student housing, or other properties that have unusual lease terms, include meals with the rent, or other services, so their rents and occupancies are not representative of the actual market. We exclude these from our statistical reports as they skew the averages for the other classes.

Reporting
Occupancy, Rent, and Absorption trend data is based on Operating, Under-construction, and Under-renovation projects, Classes A, B, C, and D (excluding Class U).
