The national Apartment Investment Market Index (AIMI or index) as of the first quarter 2024 is 112.5. The index increased over the quarter (8.7%) and over the prior 12 months (8.1%).
The annual increase indicates that it may be easier to find attractive investment opportunities compared with the prior year.
The increase in the index over the past year is a result of a steep contraction in property prices and growth in net operating income (NOI or income) which offset the effect of higher mortgage rates. Over the past year, mortgage rates rose 23 basis points while property prices decreased by -9.3% and NOI increased by 0.5%.
Combining these changes in the index, it suggests that investors are paying less per dollar of property income compared with one year ago.
the past quarter, the index increased due to property price depreciation and markedly lower mortgage rates, while NOI was essentially flat.
