NASHVILLE, TN (July 29, 2021) – The Greater Nashville Apartment Association (GNAA) has released its Quarter 2 market survey that reviewed rental housing data from over 100,000 rental units in the Greater Nashville market area. The GNAA’s compiled data determined that despite the economic downturn caused by the 2020 pandemic, the Greater Nashville rental housing market in Quarter 2 of 2021 predominantly saw growth over Quarter 2 of 2020. 

GNAA actively collects and tracks figures regarding current rental housing trends in the Greater Nashville market and their findings are published quarterly. “Access to statistical data is one of the many benefits GNAA provides to its membership, allowing leaders in the multi-family industry to track trends in the local marketplace,” said GNAA President Victoria Tobin. Tobin added, “The Greater Nashville rental housing data is compiled internally by GNAA, and the data is reviewed and published as a thorough market survey offering unique insight into the region’s rental housing industry.” 

The association has divided the Greater Nashville rental market into 21 submarkets to gather information about rental housing units including price averages based on square footage as well as by the number of bedrooms in a unit. The GNAA market survey also determines statistical numbers regarding the local rental housing market’s occupancy percentages, average rents and comparisons in growth or decline from previous quarters and years.

Findings from GNAA’s Quarter 2 research concluded that there are 21,663 units in the Nashville-area pipeline that are currently under construction, an increase of 35.71% over 2020. Quarter 2 had 1,868 apartment units delivered, meaning that 1,868 brand new apartments were introduced into the market in 2021 as ready to rent; this was a -11.47% decrease in delivered apartments over the same period in 2020. The rental housing occupancy rose 1.92% from 2020 to an occupancy rate of 95.15% and the average rent increased 6.69% to $1,404.
