Market figures from public data only. Rank is among the 30 metros in our city hubs.

14,810 single-family (54%) · 763 in 2–4 unit buildings (3%) · 11,749 in 5+ unit buildings (43%). Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey (2025 annual, units authorized, with imputation).
Our reading: the higher the 5+ share, the more new homes will need a building or association manager as well as a listing agent. Permit data does not say whether units will be rentals or condos.
