Naples Apartments Stand Up Against the 2001 Recesion and Increased Housing Sales
In 2001, the national apartment industry went through a recession, and while the industry has slowly recovered, it is not quite strong yet.
Even after the end of the recession, demand for Naples apartments continued to drop. “Vacancy rates only recently came back to the long term national average of about 5%.” Demand for Naples apartments has also waned because so many locals want to purchase a home before interest rates shoot up and real estate prices get completely out of control.
It should come as no surprise that renting Naples apartments is not cheap. Studies have repeatedly found that areas with very high sales prices also tend to have high rental prices.
So if renting is becoming a less affordable option, why not just buy a Naples home? Generally, it’s because renters have been priced out of the local housing market and have not been able to save up a large enough nest egg to make the necessary 20 percent down payment.
