PHOENIX-While apartment demand was up in Tucson, Las Vegas and Albuquerque, it dropped off in Phoenix, according to a new survey by Hendricks & Partners of Phoenix.

Phoenix experienced negative absorption of 1,451 units in the second quarter, down from the first quarter’s positive absorption of 242 units, says the multifamily brokerage and research firm. “A slowdown in the local economy, coupled with Phoenix’s historical summer slowdown in demand, sent absorption into negative territory,” says Don Hendricks, president and CEO.
