This week the Radius+ team took a closer look at the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA CBSA

Supply added by year relative to total:

  • 2019- 5.9%
  • 2020- 3.6%
  • 2021- 3.3%
  • 2022- 2.9%
  • 2023- 4.8%
  • 2024- 4.7%
  • 2025- 2.7%

Atlanta saw a massive amount of supply added in 2019, which would have crashed rates in 2020 if COVID-19 Drivers didn’t create a massive influx of demand sky rocketing rental rates. These high rental rates were noticed by developers and led to another wave of new supply in 2023 and 2024. However- in the same time frame, demand drivers slowed down as interest rates froze the housing market leading to a perfect storm of oversupply and subdued demand. With so much supply in lease up- it will likely be a while until rental rates recover.
