As housing prices skyrocket, the conversion of apartments to condos becomes popular. What will happen to rental stock?
"Revisiting a trend first popularized in the 1980s, developers are cashing in on demand from entry-level buyers, investors and boomers by turning apartments into for-sale condominiums. And although conversions deplete rental stock, analysts and brokers say with strong home-price appreciation and buyers waiting in the wings, the profitable apartment-conversion movement shows no signs of slowing.
...The reason conversions have done so well in San Diego is because of the $185,000 price gap between a conversion unit and a new-construction condominium."
