Pricing Trends: Per-Unit Values

For 5+ unit properties, current agreed-upon pricing is generally falling in the range of:

$190K–$230K per unit

There is one notable outlier that reached approximately $300K per unit, consisting entirely of five-bedroom units.

This reinforces a clear trend in today’s market:

Bedroom count is a major driver of value

Properties with higher bedroom counts per unit are consistently achieving stronger pricing.

What Investors Are Prioritizing

Based on current activity, investors are focusing on:

• Higher bedroom count per unit
• Strong rent potential
• Clean, updated interiors
• Layouts that maximize occupancy

Properties that combine larger unit configurations with recent updates are aligning most closely with what buyers are actively seeking.

Why This Matters for Sellers

In particular, assets with higher total bedroom counts and recent improvements are attracting the most attention and achieving pricing at the upper end of the range.
