Not surprising that quality properties are attracting multiple bidders. I'd be interested to know how the 6.5% to 7.5% cap rates compared to cap rates 12 to 18 months ago. Also curious on how much equity is required to get those transactions completed. Valuations across all asset classes will revert back to the mean.

A well-located institutional quality apartment asset in Silicon Valley, with a realistic seller (think 6.5-7.5% cap) will see a lot of activity. As mentioned in the post however, volume is down significantly from previous year's levels, but still in 2009, RCA numbers show that 2nd quarter volume came in at $2.8B, vs $2B in the first quarter - a 40% rise. fixed the link, thanks.
