People losing homes due to foreclosure will move into rental housing. Avalon Bay have cut their teeth for 10+ years now and are set to profit from rental growth, and improved systems.
Lower land prices in the next two years will give them a buying opportunity to put options on buildable dirt.

Rents are rising, especially in high dollar markets, especially as the sales side of the real estate market weakens. And in the long term...US population trends favor these properties.

All housing and construction will soften over the next six to twelve months. Doesn't help this one to be in the high-dollar market which will IMO take the biggest hit.

Arguably the (certainly "a") premier apartment owner-developer in an industry whose long-term demographics are excellent. Thought the current price is high, I think it's more than justified...

Specializes in developing, redeveloping, acquiring and managing luxury apartment communities in the US. At least in the Balt-Wash area, this means a lot of mixed usage properties which are in high demand as traffic congestion, lack of public transportation and work issues make the traditional urban sprawl a nightmare. AVB supplies a service to help ease these problems

AvalonBay Communities (AVB) is in the business of developing, redeveloping, acquiring, and managing high-quality apartment communities in the high barrier-to-entry markets of the United States. These markets are located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Pacific Northwest and Northern and Southern California regions of the country. The company’s portfolio comprises of 167 apartment communities containing 48,294 apartment homes in ten states and the District of Columbia.
The U.S. housing market has slowed down remarkably after reaching its peak in 2005. However, states like New York and California have witnessed impregnable demand on account of supply constraint market, which has resulted in doubling of home prices in the past few years. The demand for well-located apartments has sprouted from the fact that children of the baby boomers are starting families and prefer living in downtown areas near their jobs. This has pushed demand for rental house, which is reflected in the form of increase in rental by 4.0% to 4.4% across the state.
It seems a long time concern for these markets to even out this demand/supply mismatch. Further, factors like gaining momentum in job growth rate, which is predicted to be around 1.2%, should further enhance the demand for housing market. This augurs well for AvalonBay, as its properties are mainly located in well-established markets like New York and California. In theses market buying a home is a far of dream for many first time homebuyers and thus has left with no option than to rent home.
Factors like favorable demand/supply dynamics and increasing job growth rate should enable the company to meet its fiscal 2007 guidance of funds from operations (FFO) which is around $4.68-$4.92, an increase of at least 6.8%. Endorsing the same, the stock price is all set to rouse bullish sentiments among investors.

Major REIT bubble. AVB a part of it. High valuation, low fully taxable dividend. Fundamentals point to a $70 stock.

As new buyers' purchase less real estate over the next year, REITs like ASN and AVB are well positioned to reap the benefits. There will likely be more demand for rentals, rents will rise and these REITs will benefit.
