Hot Topics The Metroplex overall has witnessed positive performance for several quarters, but Dallas is beginning to show separation from Fort Worth market fundamentals Absorption stayed positive for the 1th straight quarter Occupancy rates continue to climb for the 3rd straight quarter Dallas/Ft. Worth s year-over-year employment growth ranks 4th compared to all other metropolitan areas in the country North Texas remains atop the country in terms of apartment delivery, but numbers are insubstantial compared to recent standards Dallas/Fort Worth multi-housing properties remain a top performer in the commercial real estate market and witnessed a 1th consecutive quarter of positive demand. By and large, Metroplex fundamentals have shown steady improvement across the board. Overall occupancy is on the cusp of 93% and rental rates are as high as they have ever been at $.92 per SF. However, the 3rd quarter headline goes to the Dallas area specifically, which for the first time is distinguishing itself from Fort Worth. In recent quarters, both Dallas and Fort Worth have shared the limelight from DFW s driving apartment market, but within the past three months Dallas has taken more of a leading role and attracted greater demand and higher occupancy levels. Overall, North Texas absorbed 2,37 units during the 3rd quarter. Dallas ended the quarter well ahead of Fort Worth, which in fact lost 52 apartment households. On an annual basis DFW absorbed 12,71 units, and while these figures are positive, they stand at only half of the markets demand performance from the fall of 21. As seen during the previous quarter, older properties are garnering a more prevalent percentage of absorption now that the top-tier property market has fully recovered. In fact, 45% of DFW s annual demand was claimed by properties built prior to 2. Third quarter supply totals reached their highest point thus far in 211 but still remain at Unemployment Rate 11.% 1.% 9.% 8.% 7.% 6.% 5.% historically low levels. The Metroplex was supplied with 1,673 new units for the quarter which brings the annual total to 5,189 units. This is enough to continue North Texas reign as the national leader of new apartment supply, however falls well below the market s average annual completion total of 13, units since 2. As was the case with absorption and occupancy, the Dallas area delivered new supply at a higher rate than Fort Worth. Dallas accounted for 4,338 units while Fort Worth supplied its lowest tally in 15 years with 851 units. Granted, with the construction pipeline decelerating the way that it has, lower levels of deliveries should be expected. One major reason for DFW s economic success has been the resurgence of the job market. Throughout the first half of the year, the Dallas/ Fort Worth area led the nation in employment growth and by May had added an annual total of 8, new jobs. Employment performance continued on at an impressive rate during the summer months and the Bureau of Labor Statistics lists September s year-over-year additions to be 5,2, which ranks fourth nationally behind Houston, New York City and Boston. Both DFW and the State of Texas maintained unemployment rates well below the national average. Dallas/Fort Worth unemployment stands at 8.4%, with the state average at 8.5%, and the national average at 9.1%. 4.% 3.% 4Q9 1Q1 2Q1 3Q1 4Q1 DFW Texas USA 211 CBRE

Occupancy has remained below 93% since 28 but looks to surmount that target by the end of 211. Construction activity has remained historically low over the past six quarters which put a tight lid on new supply and allowed for demand to build around the Metroplex. The second quarter of 211 witnessed the significant boost in demand that the market has been waiting for and occupancy levels took a large step in returning to pre-recessionary figures. Employment surges over the past year have brought on the demand necessary to lease up the latest deliveries as well as backfill less desirable, aged properties. On an annual basis, occupancy levels rose 1.4% and have now risen four points above the trough witnessed in 29. If performance such as this persists then pre-recessionary levels of 94.1% could be matched by mid-year 212. The second quarter was the highest performing quarter of the past decade which made it a tough act to follow. Therefore, this quarter s decline in demand activity could have been expected. Apartment demand was positive for the tenth consecutive quarter and benefitted from another strong showing in the job market, registering 2,37 units of absorption. This brings the year-to-date absorption total to over 12,5 units, which is a respectable amount, but roughly half of where absorption stood this time last year. Still, DFW is considered one of the strongest apartment markets in the country, especially on Dallas end, which accounted for 11,2 of the annual tally. In terms of class performance, the top tier property market has now made a full recovery and has revived fundamentals across the Metroplex. In addition, as class A properties become occupied, older units garner more attention from renters. Over the past year, 45% of the units absorbed in North Texas have been from properties built prior to 2. Throughout 21, lower tier properties were lagging behind newer product and a noticeable gap was forming between the two. For the time being that gap has lessened and supply and demand are finding an equilibrium. Rental rates were driven to their highest marks of the past decade by positive 3rd quarter demand, settling at $.92 PSF. This increase represents a 2% growth between June and September. It was only last quarter when rental rates made the jump to the $.9 price point for the first time in three years. Much like occupancy, the recognizable rental rate growth is being driven by the Dallas market. Prices grew 2.2% in Dallas over the quarter and grew 4.1% on an annual basis. Fort Worth rates performed at a lesser rate; 1.4% quarter-over-quarter and 3.6% annual growth, both of which are still solid percentages. Concessions were reported in nearly 45% of apartment inventory, concluding that discounts still remain a fundamental aspect for increasing demand. That being said, concessions are being offered at much lower rates than those offered during the peak of 21 when discounts were available in 6%- 7% of the market. Not surprisingly, the largest increases in rental rates occurred in Dallas submarkets, with Rockwall/Rowlett/Wylie topping the list at 1.5% growth. Page 3 211 CBRE DFW Multi-Housing Third Quarter 211

A total of 1,673 new units came onto the market during the summer months which brings annual deliveries to 5,189. The simplest way to put the diminishing supply line into perspective would be to compare this annual total to that of the year prior. By September of 21, the twelve-month total of new supply stood at over 17, new units, which represents a 7% decrease for this year s added supply numbers. Considering that the Metroplex still leads the nation in apartment deliveries, this only goes to show how well multi-housing properties fared during 21. The Dallas region supplied 4,338 of the 5,189 units over the current year, with Fort Worth making up the difference. Richardson led the way for the Metroplex with 5 units completed, while Allen/McKinney, Lewisville and Denton added 2 units a piece. Construction volume dropped slightly from 5,67 to 5,333 and is forecasted to remain conservative moving into 212. New delivery totals will begin to see increases once the construction pipeline opens up once more. Quarterly Under Construction (SF) 5, 4,5 3,5 3, 2,5 1,5 1, 5 Quarterly 11mth Trailing 1Q6 1Q1 3Q1 Multi-housing properties witnessed another solid quarter and have already matched sales figures for all of 21. Dallas/Fort Worth s ongoing employment boom is proving to be an attraction for investors and has made the city a national leader in the apartment community. So far this year, 79 properties representing a total of $1,467,75,429 have traded hands in DFW, compared to 6 transactions this time last year. According to Real Capital Analytics, cap rates currently stand at approximately 7.1% in the Metroplex, which remains one of the most active markets in the country and continues to outperform some of the most dynamic metros around the nation. On a national level, $13.3B worth of property transactions have occurred which brings the yearly total to $36.2B. This total already exceeds the full year s sales for 21 and represents gains of approximately 7% over the same period in 21. Portfolio transactions have made a comeback with 15 deals representing over $1M each closing since this past April. Prior to this year, only 15 portfolio transactions of that size occurred in all of 29 and 21. The national apartment market has distinguished itself from other commercial property types with competitive debt markets and a development pipeline that is flourishing in several parts of the country. Tertiary markets are receiving more and more attention as investor confidence grows from strong market fundamentals. Cap rates in these secondary markets are beginning to fall sharply as investors continue to seek out these properties. Currently, tertiary cap rates stand at 7.5% while primary market cap rates hover near 6.5%.
