Additionally, as NAHB’s Eye on Housing blog reports, completions of privately financed, unsubsidized, unfurnished rental apartments in buildings with five or more units reached 259,000 in 2015, a total that is 23 percent higher than what was seen in 2014, according to information from the Survey of Market Absorption.
