In this episode we discuss the dynamics of Houston's multifamily apartment market. A steady increase in prices and absorption across Class A properties isn't carrying through to other property classes. What's affecting the health of the market overall and what can we expect in the year ahead with more new units under construction?  We're joined once again by Partnership Senior Vice President of Research Patrick Jankowski.  Topics covered include:  Which classes of properties are doing better than others and in which submarkets.  Absorption's effect on prices.  How many new units are currently under construction and what will affect how quickly they fill up.  And much more.  Also be sure to register for the annual Houston Region Economic Outlook happening on Dec. 8.  Bayou Business Download is presented exclusively by:
