DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2018 – Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), announces that in the first six months of 2018, IPA Texas completed 24 multifamily sales throughout Texas totaling 8,972 units. The cumulative sales price is $876,512,180.

“In the first half of 2018, our team experienced record transaction volume throughout Texas, with buyers active in all major metros; including Class A asset sales plus large value-add portfolio sales,” says IPA Texas executive director Will Balthrope. “Our secondary markets division also had record sales in smaller markets such as Corpus Christi and Midland/Odessa. Equity remains bullish on Texas multifamily assets, debt is readily available, and the market is very dynamic in Texas.”

“We are on track to almost double our sales volume from last year, and it has been a healthy mix of institutional Class A, core-plus and value-add assets,” adds senior director Drew Kile. “We have seen institutional interest in core and core-plus assets begin to return with the most active buyers being major private buyers and syndicators.
