Although expenses were up, the index seems to be softening. For the full calendar year of 2023, the affordable properties\u2019 cost growth was 8.2%, while for the year prior, the figure stood at 7.7%. As of September, the highest average expenses at affordable assets were registered in New York ($14,485), Boston ($13,240) and San Francisco ($10,662). Conversely, the lowest expenditures were in Orlando ($5,773), Las Vegas ($6,000) and San Antonio ($6,095).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"YoY Change in Operating Expense per Unit by Metro\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-eRnzn\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/eRnzn\/3\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"590\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();\n<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For affordable properties, insurance costs skyrocketed 20.3% year-over-year through September, while marketing expenditures climbed 18.4% during the same interval. Against the backdrop of major weather-related events, several metros witnessed a considerable increase pertaining to insurance expenses, such as Houston (41.5%) and Charlotte (39.4%). As a share of total costs, insurance made up 9.8% in September, up from 5.6% in 2018. Additionally, insurance expenses have risen a staggering 135.7% since 2018 across all asset classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the income per unit of affordable assets grew by 7.2% year-over-year through September, providing a counterbalance. A few metros stood out with double-digit growth, such as Nashville (12.9%), San Antonio (12.0%) and Charlotte (10.1%). This increase is deeply entwined with the federal department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s maximum allowable rent formula, which allowed for higher-than-normal growth in 2024. By contrast, the income per unit at affordable properties for the calendar year of 2023 grew by 5.5%, while the year before witnessed a 4.6% increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although HUD\u2019s formula somewhat shelters affordable properties from negative market forces, the assets operate on a thinner margin compared to their market-rate counterparts. At the average affordable property, expenses comprise 56.3% of revenue, while the index lands at 44.9% for market-rate assets. \u201cOwners of affordable properties would be wise to examine operating efficiencies and develop strategies to cut costs.\u201d, said Paul Fiorilla, director of research at Yardi Matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-net-operating-income-quadruples-for-affordable-assets\">Net operating income quadruples for affordable assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the heels of HUD loosening its grip on the maximum allowable rent, the NOI at affordable assets rose by 8.1% per unit nationally in September compared to the year before. For the calendar year 2023, the figure sat at 2.0%\u2014a spike that more than quadruples the NOI for affordable properties. The index was even higher in markets such as Nashville (25.0%), San Diego (20.2%) and Raleigh (19.8%). In markets with a negative NOI, such as Charlotte (-1.2%), Houston (-3.1%) and Pittsburgh (-3.2%), the income growth was insufficient to counteract the surge in expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full Yardi Matrix Affordable Housing Market Report: <a href=\"\/publications\/download\/File\/6512-MatrixResearchBulletin-Affordable-November2024\"><strong>November 2024<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expenses and income for the average U.S. affordable housing unit were up 6.4% and 7.2% year-over-year in September, respectively, according to the latest Yardi Matrix affordable housing market report.
