According to the Washington Business Journal, apartment and condo building sales in the Washington area had a $1.1 billion increase from 2010. This is a sign that investors’ efforts to buy into D.C.’s surging demand for rentals is on the rise.

Rental Market Hot in 2012
According to the Hotpads: “While we expect demand for rental properties to remain high throughout 2012, we anticipate a slower growth compared to last year. As the price of homes for sale continues to decline, we believe more home shoppers will consider buying over renting (buy vs rent data below). We also predict more foreclosed and long standing for sale properties will re-enter the market as rentals in 2012, which should increase the rental supply and help ease prices. However, if economic conditions extend consumer uncertainty, we may continue seeing would be home owners continue to rent.”
