Multifamily investor demand in Tampa has never been higher. After a record $2.8 billion in sales last year, the pace has only accelerated thus far in 2019. At $868 million in completed sales, the first quarter was the strongest first quarter ever recorded in the market's history, according to CoStar data. In fact, it was the second-strongest quarter Tampa has ever seen, trailing only the fourth quarter of 2018, which saw $906 million in completed sales.
