Anyone have a way to look up cap rates in a certain area? I'm trying to get an evaluation on the property I want to purchase and can't find how to look up cap rates in my local area. Thanks in advance everyone!

Other than CBRE, you can try https://apartmentpropertyvalua...

find a commercial broker whom you have a relationship with and aks them for a costar report for your type of asset..

As others have mentioned Costar and CBRE are good sources.

High level broad brush, average cap rates across the US for apartments are approximately 5%. In dynamic highly sought after top tier markets - Phoenix, Dallas Ft Worth, Austin, Atlanta, I am seeing deals trade below 4% cap rates. In small smaller “slower” lower growth towns outside metro areas, you might see 7% cap rates.

In my local market, Greenville SC which is booming but certainly a tertiary market, cap rates are in the 5% range.

Thank you for the responses.  I know the supply for housing in our area is very sought after.  Supply of houses cannot keep up with the demand. 

@Arn Cenedella are you seeing a lot of deals trading right now in upstate SC?

Closing one later this month and have another under contract.

So I am finding them.

They are not cheap and they aren’t “deals” per se but rather solid long term investments in a booming area.

Greenville especially of off the hook so much mew construction and investment everywhere you turn. The rest of the Upstate feeds off Greenville dynamic growth.

@Arn Cenedella - are there certain areas of the Greenville MSA that you see the most growth potential? I have a friend moving to Simpsonville and we're kicking around the idea of doing some development in the area. Would love to get your thoughts.

@Adam Lacey

I believe anywhere in Greenville or Spartanburg Counties would be good.

Values are going up everywhere since it’s the same economic engine.

Hard to pinpoint specific areas - the better areas for now are of course more expensive.

Each deal is different - it comes down to the numbers.

But if you can find developable land anywhere here, it will work well.

For my own investments, I look all over these two counties. My preference is closer to downtown Greenville the better but it is pricey.

Thanks for the advice @Arn Cenedella
