The Sun Belt apartment boom left a sizable supply hangover. But not every market is feeling it the same way.

The median vacancy rate across Sun Belt cities has nearly doubled, rising from 5.5% in 2021 to 10.7% in 2026, compared with an 8.1% national median. Yet the picture varies significantly across the region, with vacancy rates ranging from below 5% to nearly 19% in some markets.

First American Senior Commercial Real Estate Economist Xander Snyder examines where the apartment supply wave hit hardest, why the Southeast has seen such wide variation, and the early signs that supply and demand may be starting to rebalance.
