The largest owner of apartments in the United States was Greystar, an international developer and manager headquartered in Charleston, SC. In 2024, Greystar owned nearly 109,000 units. MAA, a Tennessee-based real estate investment trust, ranked second, with 85,000 apartments owned. Real estate investment trusts The majority of the largest owners of apartments in the U.S. are real estate investment trusts (REITs), which are companies who own (and usually operate) income producing real estate. REITs were created in 1960, when the Cigar Excise Tax Extension permitted investment in large-scale diversified real estate portfolios through the purchase and sale of liquid securities. This effectively aligned investment in real estate with other asset classes. In 2023, there were approximately 200 REITs in the United States with a market capitalization of 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars. Apartments in the United States The rental return for apartments in the U.S. has been steadily climbing in recent times, with the national monthly median rent for an unfurnished apartment steadily increasing since 2012. Over this period, apartment vacancy rates have been decreasing across the country, suggesting that demand outweighs supply. Accordingly, large-scale investment in apartments by REITs is likely to continue into the foreseeable future.
In 2022, corporations owned about 561,000 buildings out of over 7.3 million across South Korea. Due to the global financial crisis, this number ballooned in 2007, and then subsequently fell sharply in 2008 and 2009. Corporate building ownership recovered quickly though, and has steadily increased since 2010. As of 2019, it has exceeded pre-2008 numbers.

The survey investigated how the new Limited Liability Housing Companies Act 2010 (Asunto-osakeyhtiölaki) functioned in Finland, what its impact had been and how it had been implemented. Separate surveys were conducted for shareholders of limited liability housing companies, members of governing boards, property managers and estate agents. This dataset contains the responses of shareholders of limited liability companies. The respondents were first asked basic information about the company, such as the types of buildings belonging to the company, number of apartments, business premises belonging to the company, and whether the company had a property manager and who was responsible for property management. Relating to management of the company, the respondents were asked about the ease of attracting new members to join the board of the company, interest shown by shareholders in the activities of the company, and improvement or decline of the management of the company after June 2010. With regards to auditing, the respondents were asked whether there was a person responsible for financial/performance audit in the company, whether performance audit (set out in the 2010 Act) had improved residents' access to information about the activities of the company, and whether the audit had benefited the company and increased trust for its management. Views were charted on information and communication by the company, for instance, by asking whether invitations to meetings were sent out early enough, whether board members and chair answered shareholders' questions in the meetings, and whether shareholders were notified early enough about important decisions and plans made by the board. Further questions charting communication probed improvement/decline in communication by the board and property manager after 2010, issues the board and/or property manager should notify the shareholders about (e.g. the company's financial situation, renovating and maintenance instructions), and whether an Act should be in place that lays down provisions on communication between the company and shareholders during the fiscal year. Concerning building maintenance, views were charted on the board's and property manager's knowledge of the law and regulations relating to responsibilities of the company and the shareholder in maintenance issues, and disputes between the company and shareholders about the division of maintenance costs. Relating to the maintenance needs report (which is required by law in cases when planned maintenance significantly affects the use of an apartment, company charges, or other costs incurred by the use of an apartment), questions charted, among others, discussion about the report in the company meeting, shareholders' opportunities to go over the report before the meeting, things included in the report (e.g. cost estimate, maintenance schedule), and perceptions on the usefulness of the report. Relating to renovations done by the respondent, questions examined superficial renovations done in the apartment after 2010, potential difficulties in filing a renovation notice, whether the respondent had consciously neglected to notify about a renovation, whether the company had requested that the respondent add information to a renovation notice, what the processing fee for the notice had been, and whether the fee had increased or decreased after 2010. Further questions about renovations investigated the processing time of renovation notices, supervision of and conditions set for the renovation by the company, and potential costs incurred by the supervision. Perceptions of disputes and dispute resolution were surveyed. Increase or decrease in disputes between the company and shareholders after 2010 was studied as well as primary actor in resolving disputes, and the need for an independent third party to settle disputes and conflicts between the shareholders and the company. Finally, the respondents were asked whether they had received a property manager's certificate (isännöitsijäntodistus) when they had requested for one. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's gender, age, whether R lived in or rented out the apartment she/he owned, the location or size of the municipality where the limited liability housing company operated, and the decade when its buildings had been constructed.

VITAL SIGNS INDICATOR Home Prices (EC7)
FULL MEASURE NAME Home Prices
LAST UPDATED August 2019
DESCRIPTION Home prices refer to the cost of purchasing one’s own house or condominium. While a significant share of residents may choose to rent, home prices represent a primary driver of housing affordability in a given region, county or city.
DATA SOURCE Zillow Median Sale Price (1997-2018) http://www.zillow.com/research/data/
Bureau of Labor Statistics: Consumer Price Index All Urban Consumers Data Table (1997-2018; specific to each metro area) http://data.bls.gov
CONTACT INFORMATION vitalsigns.info@bayareametro.gov
METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator) Median housing price estimates for the region, counties, cities, and zip code come from analysis of individual home sales by Zillow. The median sale price is the price separating the higher half of the sales from the lower half. In other words, 50 percent of home sales are below or above the median value. Zillow defines all homes as single-family residential, condominium, and co-operative homes with a county record. Single-family residences are detached, which means the home is an individual structure with its own lot. Condominiums are units that you own in a multi-unit complex, such as an apartment building. Co-operative homes are slightly different from condominiums where the homeowners own shares in the corporation that owns the building, not the actual units themselves.
For metropolitan area comparison values, the Bay Area metro area’s median home sale price is the population-weighted average of the nine counties’ median home prices. Home sales prices are not reliably available for Houston, because Texas is a non-disclosure state. For more information on non-disclosure states, see: http://www.zillow.com/blog/chronicles-of-data-collection-ii-non-disclosure-states-3783/
Inflation-adjusted data are presented to illustrate how home prices have grown relative to overall price increases; that said, the use of the Consumer Price Index does create some challenges given the fact that housing represents a major chunk of consumer goods bundle used to calculate CPI. This reflects a methodological tradeoff between precision and accuracy and is a common concern when working with any commodity that is a major component of CPI itself.
