• The San Antonio multifamily sector metrics remained positive in May, while not recording any significant change over the previous month.
  
  
• Occupancy improved by a small margin with both Class A and Class B properties recording increases of almost 0.3% each.
  
  
• Rental rates per square foot remained unchanged for the fourth consecutive month.
  
  
• The rental average per unit remained mostly unchanged. Class A properties recorded a decrease of -$0.15 per unit on average, whereas the Class C average improved by half-a-dollar.
  
  
• Absorption was positive overall; Class A properties recorded absorption at positive 115 and Class B properties recorded absorption of positive 135.
  
  
• Class A and Class B properties constitute a third each of the total projects in the pipeline. Less than 175 units are expected to be delivered in May which should have very minimal impact on key metrics.
