Through any life crisis comes insight into what is important to us, what we no longer need and what we want for the future; the same applies to business and our careers. Cities are unaffordable for many, for several reasons, such as exorbitant cost of living (Rent, food, transportation, miscellaneous expenses), high local and state taxes. To add fuel to the fire the COVID pandemic is forcing us to rethink and reprioritize our needs.

It is prudent to look for alternatives – for health and economic safety by cutting living costs and taxes.  Across USA city migration patterns have changed since the new normal, namely ”Working Remote” model is in effect. New data shows that net arrivals are down in large metro areas such as New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston and Portland from April through August of this year, versus a year earlier.

Migration from big cities is creating opportunities for smaller cities such as Jacksonville, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Missouri, have seen the biggest growth in net arrivals over the same period. City migration patterns amid the pandemic found that smaller metro areas are gaining; some famous big cities are slipping and hints of de-urbanization seen across the country.

Net arrivals in two giant metro areas — New York City and San Francisco — have fallen more than 20% from April through August of this year, versus a year earlier. In both cases, departures significantly exceeded new arrivals. Net arrivals are down about 10% in Seattle, Boston and Portland, Ore., as well.  Everyone leaving a metro area is creating opportunities for a number of smaller cities.

Working remote is the new normal.

Remote working is here to stay and will more than ever become an integral part of the way we work. Now is the time for companies to prepare for this ‘back to the new normal’. As you prepare for the new normal and realize that people can be as productive at home as they are at work, why not consider a long-term remote working plan?

The rebound in the U.S. labor market accelerated in June as broader re-openings spurred more hiring last month, though filings for unemployment benefits remained elevated last week as coronavirus cases picked up

Payrolls rose by 4.8 million in June after an upwardly revised 2.7 million gain in the prior month, according to a Labor Department report Thursday. The unemployment rate fell for a second month to 11.1%, still far above the pre-pandemic half-century low of 3.5%.

Economists had forecast payrolls to rise by 3.23 million—the median in a range of 500,000 to 9 million—and an unemployment rate of 12.5%.

This week’s data matches the share of households that paid their rent through June 20, 2019.

Out of 11.4 million professionally managed apartment households across the country, 92.2% had made a full or partial rent payment by June 20, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council’s latest Rent Payment Tracker data.

As per Bloomberg America’s labor market unexpectedly rebounded in May, signaling the economy is picking up faster than thought from the depths of the damage from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nonfarm payrolls rose by 2.5 million after a 20.7 million tumble the prior month that was the largest in records back to 1939, according to Labor Department data. The jobless rate fell to 13.3% from 14.7%.

The data show a U.S. economy pulling back as states relax restrictions and businesses bring back staff. Unemployment rates declined among adult men and women, white Americans, and slightly for Hispanic and Latino Americans.

The New Normal

All businesses post Covid-19 are set to change.  What is also for sure is life that we get back to will be significantly different from the one we had before the outbreak. While we do not portend to know the future, and our lens is limited by our own experiences and a reflection of the past, it is in times of great disruption where great opportunity abounds. It is not just across the spectrum of the industries but among others that we cannot even imagine. 

The current real estate market is much like a Rubik’s cube. Once we think we have it figured out, we look at it from another angle and find out we still do not have it right. There are many factors complicating the current market.

One thing that we are seeing very clearly is a number of clients who were insistent on work being done in house on site are now very open to working from a remote location.  After having worked for 22 years, we can with great confidence say Intellisys is a Subject Matter Expert in this area.

Today, May 28, 2020 I read an article written by Mary Salmonsen in Multifamily Executive Magazine

Quote

The National Multifamily Housing Council’s Rent Payment Tracker, which draws from rent collection activity in 11.4 million units of professionally managed market-rate housing, has found that 90.8% of apartment households made a full or partial rent payment by May 20.

This marks both a 2.2-percentage point drop in the share of Americans who had paid rent through May 20, 2019, and a slight rise over the 89.2% of households who had paid rent by April 20, 2020. Last week, 87.7% of American households had paid their rent by May 13.

According to the Bureau’s household pulse data survey, 80.3% of all renter households had made their rent payments on time in April, while 17.2% had not and 2.5% had their rent deferred. Of the respondents, one-third had no confidence, or only slight confidence, that they could pay rent the next month.

Management companies are being “flexible” with their renters, absorbing credit card fees and offering deferral or repayment plans. However, this translates into a loss of revenue for the operator. a “wave” of economic uncertainty and reduced cash flow for the sector, could “come to shore” in the third quarter.

The highest-performing assets are higher-end market-rate properties and Section 8 housing. The Section 8 residents, largely low-income seniors, are able to pay their subsidized rent on time thanks to Social Security, which provides them with a steady income. Low-income housing tax credit properties are “trailing” more, as they are un-subsidized rental properties occupied by working families hit hardest by the pandemic.
