Market Advisory Services

Witten Advisors assumes an ongoing role with our clients, helping anticipate broad economic and demographic drivers shaping the apartment industry’s outlook, as well as the future performance of individual metro markets. This foresight assists our clients in making more profitable, market-smart decisions today – whether related to company strategy or to individual acquisitions, dispositions or new development.

This guidance results from applying lessons learned from the latest quarter’s performance and also from cycles over the past 30 years. With these insights, metro forecasts are updated every 90 days to reflect the realities unique to each metro. This disciplined approach provides consistent analyses across the nation's major apartment markets and presents objective conclusions for investment strategies – not just more data.

Toward that end, our services include web-accessed metro forecast reports that present the supply and demand drivers and outlook in easy-to-understand formats as well as proprietary conference calls each quarter. Two levels of service are offered:

  • Apartment Market Ratings
    • Four-page Executive Summary forecast report on each market including current opportunity rating for development and for acquisition.
    • Participation in an all-client conference call each quarter presenting the latest market trends and new forecast highlights.
  • Market Strategy Advisor
    • Detailed 16-page forecast report on each metro area including development and acquisition opportunity ratings quarterly over the next three years.
    • Participation in an all-client conference call each quarter presenting the latest market trends and new forecast highlights.
    • Private in-house conference call each quarter to discuss the particular metro markets and market-related issues of importance at the time.
