Detroit Faces 122K Vacant Lots, Rebuild Fight

Image
Detroit Vacant Lots by the Numbers (and Why It Matters) More than 100,000 vacant lots are scattered across Detroit. Nearly 45 percent of city properties are classified as vacant, including empty structures and structure-free parcels. Nearly 175,000 properties are vacant overall. Together, they cover about 18 square miles of idle land. Detroit’s population has fallen by nearly two-thirds since 1950. At the same time, rising foreclosure starts nationally can add pressure in cities already grappling with disinvestment. Numbers That Signal System Strain The AEI Housing Center estimates 134,000 vacant lots. It also reports that 36 percent of residential lots are vacant. Average lot size is about 3,200 square feet.

Atlanta Build-to-Rent Pipeline in 2026: Units Underway and Delivered Three numbers now define Atlanta’s build-to-rent pipeline entering 2026: 3,700 units underway, a 24,071-unit multifamily construction backlog, and a national BTR build count of 68,700 units slated to deliver over the next 36 months. Underway Units Signal Stress Atlanta ranks third nationally in BTR construction, behind Phoenix at 9,000 units and Dallas at 5,900 units. Developers are managing higher financing friction, workforce shortages, and rising material costs that can disrupt starts. These headwinds reflect a market that is stalling rather than crashing, shaped by high capital costs and buyer hesitation. Deliveries Clouded by Multifamily Slowdown No Atlanta-only BTR delivery figure is isolated for 2026, complicating expectations for delivery cadence. Metrowide multifamily deliveries are projected at 8,400 units in 2026, down nearly 50 percent from 2025, after 16,086 units delivered through November 2025. Constru...

Charlotte Investor Activity Rebounds

Image
Why Charlotte Investor Activity Is Up in 2026? Although mortgage rates remain a constraint, Charlotte investor activity is rising in 2026 as infrastructure projects and job growth reset return expectations. Inventory is higher, with active listings up 26.4% to 2,331, supporting easier financing via concessions. Even with improving deal flow, buyers are underwriting more cautiously amid tighter capital conditions. Transit and Job Shock Silver Line light rail construction and the University-area expansion are shifting property values. Low vacancy rates have held even after 16,700 completions in 2024, reinforcing investor confidence. There’s 6 to 8% appreciation potential tied to the Lightwell extension through 2026. Highway improvements and airport upgrades lift nearby values. They also stabilize corporate housing demand in Ballantyne and SouthPark. Banking anchors the economy, while healthcare and technology expand, led by Atrium Health and Novant. Employment growth and population inf...
