Multifamily sales totaled $147 million in the Buffalo area market in 2016, up from $127 in 2015 and again above the $ 100 million dollar level achieved each of the last five years.  The investment market is most active in suburban garden apartment complexes . Private locally based principals were active as both buyers and sellers with prices at all-time high per unit valuations . These older apartment properties comprise the majority of the existing inventory and are often fully occupied with rising rents. From a tenant perspective they are often the best housing available at a given price. Located in dense residential neighborhoods , they are near employment, shopping, entertainment and within desirable suburban school districts .

This drives the rent growth that attracts investors. In April of 2017, RENTCafe’s surve...

Godfrey, who is fifty-one, lives in Belmont, a quiet neighborhood on the southeast side of Charlottesville, Virginia. Kids would play together after they got off the school bus a couple of houses down. Neighbors would walk past with their dogs, waving hello, as they headed to a nearby park. These days, Godfrey mostly stays inside in the afternoons. The neighborhood is still quiet, she said. “But it’s more quiet.

The unrest made international headlines and left a thirty-two-year-old counter- protester named Heather Heyer dead , with dozens more injured. For Godfrey, who is black, the day’s chaos has...
