Description: MAA Mid-America Apartment October 30, 2025
Mid-America Apartment Communities Inc. (NYSE: MAA) is an S&P 500-listed REIT that owns, manages, acquires, develops, and redevelops multifamily assets primarily in the Southeast, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic U.S. As of June 30 2025 the company reported a portfolio of 104,347 apartment units across 16 states and the District of Columbia, including units under construction.
Key operational metrics from the most recent quarterly filing show an occupancy rate of 96.2 % and an average rent growth of 4.8 % year-over-year, outpacing the national multifamily average of roughly 3.5 %. The REIT’s funds-from-operations (FFO) grew 7.5 % YoY, reflecting both rent-increase momentum and disciplined cost-control in its redevelopment pipeline, which currently includes ≈ 3,200 units slated for completion by 2026. Macro-level drivers such as a tight rental supply (U.S. multifamily vacancy fell to 5.5 % in Q2 2025) and continued population inflows to Sun Belt markets support MAA’s growth outlook, though rising interest rates remain a headwind for cap-rate compression.
