TUCSON, Arizona -- The Multifamily team of Allan Mendelsberg and Daniel Leibsohn, with Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR of Tucson, is expecting to close 40 multifamily transactions this year, and are well on their way to achieving this goal.
Demand is high and volume is strong for multifamily, with the value of transactions year-to-date exceeding 2016’s annual volume and on pace to exceed all years since 2006. Average cap rates are below 7%, again for the first time since 2006, according to Picor’s market trend report.
Mendelsberg remarked, “Properties priced correctly trade within one to two weeks in the Tucson market where demand is surpassing supply.” The following 170-units sold in eight transactions this month by the Mendelsberg and Leibsohn Multifamily Team and total about $8 million:
