Private and institutional investors are branching out into smaller markets to achieve higher returns. According to Forbes.com more than half (55%) of the apartment properties bought and sold for more than $1 million in 2017 were located in secondary markets which is up from 42% in 2010. Also according to Forbes.com there are a few key benefits:

  • They are less volatile in downturns, which makes them particularly attractive late in the investment cycle.
  • Deals in these markets are not overvalued and offer higher returns.
  • They offer stronger growth potential due to a lower cost of living and less supply.
