Multifamily comes out on top in commercial sector stability.  The apartment market remained the strongest among commercial sectors per the Nat'l Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, who was optimistic about the commercial real estate sector. 

Multifamily continues to see an increase in demand, along with higher occupancy and rents in most regions.  Interest rates have continued to stay extremely low, fueling the demand for multifamily housing.   Some investors are seeking out ARM's as these rates have become more competitive.  Lenders continue to stay conservative with their lending requirements. Nationally, the vacancy rate for apartments is low at 5.6%, a nice decrease from two years ago.  Locally, the vacancy rate also remains very low for complexes in the Quad-Cities.  Effective rent growth has averaged 4.65% for the year ending in February per Axiometrics; this has been the largest gain since 1996. 

The national unemployment average dropped to 8.3% for February 2012.  The Iowa Quad-City unemployment rate for Scott, Muscatine and Clinton Counties all stayed low with 7.2%, 6.8% and 6.3%, respectively.  Iowa's rate decreased to 5.3%, which has consistently stayed below the national average.  Illinois Quad-City rates have stayed relatively the same for the year.  With Rock Island staying close to 9.1% unemployment for 2012.
