Multifamily Focus: Unlike competitors who cover office or retail, ApartmentIQ is built specifically for multifamily.

User Interface: Features a modern and intuitive interface compared to dated legacy tools.

Transaction History (Pro+): Sourced from Real Capital Analytics (RCA), the "gold standard" of commercial data.

Demographics: A combination of the US Census, ACS, and Bureau of Labor Statistics, updated biannually.

New Supply: Sourced from public records, building permits, government databases, and news. Updated daily or weekly.

Property Images: Sourced from Rentable.co and available for nearly 90% of properties.

Forecasts leverage 5 years of daily rent data enriched with macroeconomic indicators and supply pipelines, modeled using proprietary deep learning.

The history is robust and dates back to 2005

In Planning: The project has obtained necessary building permits and entitlements from local authorities, allowing construction to begin legally. At this stage, the property is approved but ground has not yet been broken. It represents early pipeline supply that may or may not proceed promptly.
 

Scheduled Construction: The project is planned and scheduled to start construction soon, with financing, contractors, and timelines in place, but active building work has not yet commenced. This is a pre-construction planning stage where the project is committed but not yet underway.
 

Under Construction: Active vertical construction is ongoing. Ground has been broken, and the building is being erected. Units are not yet complete or available for occupancy, but the project is contributing to near-term future supply.
 

Lease Up: Construction is complete (or substantially complete), and the property is actively marketing and leasing units to reach full occupancy. This phase starts with a certificate of occupancy and focuses on filling units, often with incentives. It typically lasts 6–18 months depending on market conditions and project size, until reaching stabilized occupancy levels.
 

Stabilized: The property has achieved consistent high occupancy (typically 90–95% or higher, often sustained for a period like 3 months) and steady operational performance. Net operating income is reliable, qualifying for permanent financing, and the asset is considered mature with normalized rent growth and low vacancy.

Excel/CSV: You can export property lists, portions of the Market Summary, and the market comparison table.

PDF: You can print a PDF of the Market Summary or Property Specific reports. 

Yes, you can filter for properties by ownership or management group and export those lists.

The transaction history is robust and dates back to 2005.

We leverage five years of unit-level daily rent data enriched with macroeconomic indicators and future multifamily supply pipelines.

This is modeled using proprietary deep learning methods to capture local market dynamics and broader economic trends.

“Units Seen" represents only the inventory that has been publicly advertised on property websites. This count is typically lower than the "Total Units" or "Estimated" unit counts because it excludes "offline" inventory—such as units under construction, model apartments, or employee housing. 

Particularly in new lease-ups, we can only report on the units management has released to the public so far; as more inventory is marketed, the "Units Seen" count will naturally climb.

Leased Rent: The average of the most recent rent for each unit in the group, using advertised rents for active units and leased rents for units off the market.

Market Rent: The average rent of the most recently leased units for that group, limited to the last six months.

LTL% (Loss to Lease): Represents the difference between a property's market rent and its actual in-place rent.

Renewal: Percentage of units that are renewed, based on advertised units. 

Renewal Percentage Calculation: (total_units - units_leased_in_the_last_year) / total_units
