Package delivery volume could increase this year at affordable housing, B and C communities as a result of a discount offer made recently by Amazon. The Amazon deal targets consumers with a valid EBT card, offering them a Prime membership for $5.99 per month, a drop from the standard $10.99 per month or $99 annual fee. Analysts suggest that the discount is designed to entice "Wal-Mart" shoppers and was crafted in response to the retail giant’s efforts to strengthen its e-commerce traffic.
 
It’s time for the second quarter Market Momentum Survey, produced by NAA Research and RealPage, Inc. Will Atlanta, Dallas and Washington, D.C., maintain their top spots? Are apartment industry executives still concerned about rents in Houston, Austin and San Francisco? The survey will be open until June 30.
