Investment Read

The two unit types that carry this market are priced differently against the same demand. 1 Bedroom units drew 70 listings and 33 leases over the last 180 days, cleared a median estimated $1,695 against a median ask of $1,600, and took 54 days. 2 Bedroom units drew 60 listings and 21 leases, cleared $2,000 against an ask of $2,000, and took 65 days. Leases above the ask on one type and none on the other is the clearest signal in this data: 1 bedroom pricing has room above where it is being listed, and 2 bedroom pricing does not.

The case against holding 2 bedroom asks at $2,000 is consistent across three windows. Estimated leased rents are down 11.1% year over year, $2,000 on 11 leases against $2,250 on 5. The trailing 60 day median ask is down 10.0% and the trailing 90 day median is down 2.4% against their prior periods. Only 2 of 21 leases were completed within 30 days. Asking rents sit 11.1% above the Tampa citywide median while per foot rent sits below it, which says the premium is being charged for square footage rather than for the unit. The 75th percentile ask of $2,300 is where listings stall.

Per square foot, the smallest units earn the most here. Studios return $3.73 per square foot, above the Tampa citywide $3.52 and nearly double the $1.92 that 2 bedroom units return, on an average footprint of 400 square feet. Within 1 bedroom units the same pattern holds: those under 600 square feet average $2.78 per square foot against $2.31 for those of 600 to 899 square feet, roughly 20% more per foot for less space. An owner weighing a unit mix change or a floor plan split in this submarket is being paid to go smaller.

Advisory Conclusion

If you own an apartment building in Ybor City or East Tampa, these are the numbers a buyer or a lender will test your rent roll against. The band that matters is $1,300 to $1,795 on 1 bedroom units and $1,550 to $2,300 on 2 bedroom units. Units priced inside their band are leasing in roughly two months; units priced at the top of it are the ones carrying the 65 day tail.

We read the 1 bedroom ask to lease gap of $95 as unclaimed rent and the 2 bedroom year over year decline of 11.1% as a pricing correction that is still running. Owners renewing 2 bedroom leases at last year's number should expect the market to test it.
