Good day, and welcome to Essex Property Trust Third Quarter 2019 Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, today's conference is being recorded. Statements made on this conference call regarding expected operating results and other future events are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. . Forward-looking statements are made based on current expectations, assumptions and beliefs as well as information available to the company at this time. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Further information about these risks can be found in the company's filings with the SEC.
It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Mr. Mike Schall, President and Chief Executive Officer for Essex Property Trust. Thank you, Mr. Schall. You may begin.
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, operator, and welcome, everyone, to our third quarter earnings conference call. John Burkart and Angela Kleiman will follow me with comments before we open the call to Q&A. I will begin by highlighting that our third quarter results exceeded our expectations. Core FFO per share for the quarter was $0.04 better than the midpoint of our guidance, which represents 6.3% growth compared to the third quarter of 2018. We are pleased to raise our full year core FFO guidance by $0.05 at the midpoint. This is the third time this year we've increased our core FFO per share guidance, which is attributable to a solid summer leasing season, dramatically improved cost of capital compared to the start of the year and continued execution by the Essex team. John and Andrew will provide more details about the quarter and the increase to our full year guidance in their remarks.
Turning to our expectations for 2020 rent growth in the West Coast markets, we have continued our practice of providing our baseline and key budgeting assumptions on Page S-16 of the supplemental. This is intended to be a scenario based on macro level forecasts, such as U.S. GDP and job growth that we obtained from third-party sources. Key to this scenario is our ground-up research on apartment supply throughout the Essex metros. In recent years, apartment supply has become more concentrated in California's urban areas resulting in periods of high rental concessions that often substantially impact submarket pricing power. Therefore, apartment supply estimates are more important than ever and our delay adjusted supply estimates for 2019 have proven invaluable in targeting acquisitions and dispositions. Overall, we expect 2020 to look much like 2019, representing the continuation of rental growth near long-term averages.
Overall, we expect market rents in the Essex targeted areas to grow an average of 3% compared to 3.1% in our S-16 forecast a year ago. Once again, we expect very tight labor market conditions, exemplified by a very low unemployment rate of 3.3% as of August 2019. This is down 20 basis points from a year ago and is expected to slightly reduce job growth for 2020 compared to 2019. The tech market should continue to significantly outpace the nation with 2% job growth expected in Northern California and 2.4% in Seattle. Our outlook for supply in 2020 contemplates similar apartment supply deliveries compared to 2019 for a total of around 35,000 apartments in the Essex metros with meaningful variations in certain markets, including lower apartment supply in Seattle and Orange County and higher supply in Oakland and San Jose. There are several positive factors in confirming indicators that impact our 2020 forecast. Tight labor markets make constrained job growth, but they also push incomes higher.
While higher wages will pressure operating expenses, they will also help relieve pressure on the housing affordability issue that has constrained growth rates for the past several years. We have added Slides S-16.1 to the supplemental this quarter to demonstrate the historical context for the West Coast superior income and job growth compared to the rest of the country. Income growth in Essex markets has outpaced the nation by 12 percentage points on a cumulative basis this decade and has accelerated in the past several years. Office development continues to expand at a healthy pace. All of our markets are building out new office space to accommodate strong demand. Seattle and the Bay Area currently have 19 million square feet of office space under development or nearly 4% of existing inventory, which compares to national average offers office growth of just 2%. Each of our markets had very strong office pre-leasing and solid absorption in the third quarter as well as positive rent growth compared to 1 year ago, with San Jose and Seattle office rents up 11% and 5%, respectively.
Hiring at the top 10 tech firms, all of which are headquartered in an Essex market, continues to be very strong. These companies currently have 25,000 job openings in California and Washington, up 19% as compared to the third quarter of 2018. Amazon's job openings in Washington are up 52% compared with 1 year ago, and it's also notable that Facebook now has over 5,000 employees in the Seattle market, while Google and Apple are also expanding rapidly in South Lake Union. Turning to the transaction market and acquisition activity. We transitioned from being a net seller of property in 2018 to a net buyer in 2019, given a dramatic improvement in our cost of capital throughout the year. As a result, we are pleased to have exceeded the high end of our acquisition guidance range this year, with $660 million of acquisition deals closed through September 30, and we expect to remain active for the remainder of the year. The acquisition market has become increasingly competitive as positive leverage is a powerful force for multifamily housing.
The higher demand for apartments has been accompanied by more property being marketed. In late 2018 and early 2019, there was a slight upward pressure on cap rates, and this trend has reversed with cap rates down about 10 to 20 basis points. We believe that we added value by reacting quickly to changing market conditions. In terms of cap rates, recent activity indicates that A properties in A locations typically trade between a 3.9% and 4.1% cap rate with B properties in B locations trading 20 to 30 basis points wider. We remain selective in this environment and we will and we have significant advantages, including great research, strong relationships and track record and a robust balance sheet with ample liquidity.
As noted on previous calls, we continue to favor preferred equity investments over direct development, primarily because yields are compressing given that construction cost increases have exceeded rental and NOI growth rates for the past several years, represent a significant headwind to direct development. Lastly, before I turn the call over to John, I'd like to comment on the passage of California's Assembly Bill 1482, 1 of 18 housing-related bills that were signed into law by Governor Newsom earlier this month. Most of these new laws are expected to remove barriers to build more housing, incentivize affordable housing and fund housing production. AB 1482 will generally cap rent increases to CPI plus 5% and is intended as an anti-gouging measure. At Essex, we have had a long-standing practice of limiting renewal rents to 10% and and do not expect this legislation to have a material impact on our results. With rent regulation, a recurring theme among legislatures across the country, we remain committed to California and will continue to advocate for smart housing policies.
With that, I'll turn the call over to our COO, John Burkart.
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Thank you, Mike. Q3 was a good quarter for Essex. Overall, our markets follow the historical seasonal pattern with the market rents peaking in early August, a little later than normal. As a result, we continue to favor achieving market rents over higher occupancy, taking advantage of the strong market conditions to lock in higher rents into September allowing our same-store portfolio occupancy to dip to 95.8% or 60 basis points below September 2018. This strategy enabled us to increase year-over-year scheduled rent by 3.5% for the third quarter compared to the prior year's period. For comparison, year-over-year scheduled rent growth in the third quarter of 2018 was 2.5%.
This 100 basis point increase sets us up in a better position going forward. Our total same-store market rents were up 3.4% year-over-year in the third quarter over the prior year's period. Revenues for the same period grew 3.1% with financial occupancy of 96%, which is 40 basis points lower than the prior year's period. On a trailing 12-month basis, portfolio turnover rate was 46.3% through September. This is a 200 basis point decrease from the prior year's period. Finally, we continue to be on pace to achieve the 3.3% midpoint of our full year 2019 same-store revenue guidance. On supply, multifamily supply growth as a percent of stock is projected to be 120 basis points higher in downtown urban submarkets during 2020 at 2% versus suburban markets at 80 basis points. Concentrated downtown urban supply is a consistent theme in this cycle in the West Coast markets.
Looking forward, we continue to be excited about the various platform initiatives that we are working on, including our new CRM that we're collaboratively designing with a third-party vendor, our mobile maintenance platform 2.0, as well as our smart units and many other initiatives. We are tracking over 40 separate initiatives or workflows, all directed at improving the customer and our employee experience as well as leveraging technology to reduce labor. The initiatives are at various stages in our process from design or proof-of-concept to pilot to rollout, and their impact will be felt over the next 1 to 3 years. Turning now to an update on our markets. In Seattle, our same-store market rents were up 5.2% year-over-year in the third quarter. Submarket revenues for the same period grew at 4.7% in the Seattle CBD, 3.7% in the East side and an average of 4.7% in the North and South.
Seattle MD remained the strongest major U.S. market for job growth in the third quarter, growing 3.4% year-over-year, with the top 4 pain industries adding over 30,000 jobs, a 60% increase from the prior year. Along these lines, major tech company expansion was healthy with Amazon job openings remaining around 11,000 for 3 consecutive quarters, while Facebook continues to expand in the market. With multifamily supply forecasted to decrease about 25% in the second half of this year, the Seattle market is benefiting from the delivery slowdown. Moving to Northern California, same-store market rents were up 3.9% year-over-year in the third quarter. Revenues for the same period were led by San Francisco, achieving 6.4% growth; followed by Santa Clara at 3.6%; Alameda at 3.4%; contract cost at 2.9%; and San Mateo, achieving 2.5%.
We continued our 3 lease-ups to Bay Area. Milo is now 27.3% leased, offering 6 weeks concessions. Station Park Green Phase 2 is now 63.3% leased, offering 4 to 8 weeks concessions and we started lease-up of 500 Folsom, now 10.8% leased, offering 4 to 8 weeks concessions. Regarding Milo, the Santa Clara market is very strong. We had the asset 28.2% pre-leased in mid-August prior to units becoming available. However, as a result of construction delays, we lost several leases. Job growth in the Bay Area averaged 2.7% year-over-year for the third quarter. San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland grew at 3.3%, 2.8% and 2%, respectively, with all 3 markets seeing the largest gains in professional business services. Tech expansion activity was robust in the South space, mainly attributed to Google's acquisitions activity, including 16 acres of land in Sunnyvale, 56 properties near San Jose's Deerdon station and an additional 1.3 million square feet of office space in the submarket.
Looking at multifam supply in Northern California. The deliveries are heavily weighted toward the second half of this year, with double the number of units coming online compared to the first half of this year. As a result of the increase in supply during the seasonally low demand period, we expect the Bay Area market to be choppy for the next 2 quarters with isolated buckets of weakness from the supplies. Heading further down South, same-store market rents in the region were up 2.3% year-over-year in the third quarter. Job growth in our SoCal markets averaged 1.2% in the same period, LA at 1.2%, Orange County at 1.1% and San Diego at 1.9%. La County revenues for the third quarter were up 2.7%, led by Woodland Hills with 4.6%, West L.A. with 3.3%, and the Tri-City submarket with 2.7%.
As expected, L.A. CBD declined by 3.6% as the submarket continues to feel the impact of concentrated supply in the downtown urban area with stabilized comps, offering up to 8 weeks concessions on new leases. In Orange County, year-over-year third quarter revenues were up 2.7% in the South Orange submarket and 1.4% in the North Orange submarket. Lastly, in San Diego, our year-over-year third quarter revenues were up 2.3%, led by the Oceanside submarket with 3.5%, followed by North City with 2.1% and Chula Vista with 1.9%. As the market enters a seasonally slower demand period, which is usually the fourth and first quarters of the year, we have adjusted our approach to favor occupancy. Our Q1 renewals have been sent out at about 4.5% and our portfolio is currently at 97.2% physical occupancy with our availability 30 days out at 3.5%.
Thank you. And I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Angela Kleiman.
Angela L. Kleiman -- Executive Vice President And Chief Financial Officer
Thank you, John. I will start with a brief overview of our third quarter results and the increase to our full year guidance and provide an update on our structured finance investments and balance sheet activities. Beginning with our third quarter performance. I'm pleased to report that we exceeded the midpoint of our core FFO per share guidance by $0.04. This was primarily driven by investment activities and low interest expense including favorable refinancing and higher capitalized interest from development delays. Following these results, we are raising our full year core FFO per share guidance by $0.05 to $13.33 at the midpoint, representing a 6% year-over-year growth. The revised guidance range assumes we sell a large urban asset in Northern California in the fourth quarter, which is owned in our co-investment platform at a 55% pro rata share.
The sale of this property will take us to the low end of our full year disposition guidance range in the low $300 million. Turning to our structured finance investment activities. The recent decline in interest rates in a strong transaction market have enabled developers to either refinance or sell their development projects. As a result, there has been an increase in early redemptions of our preferred equity and subordinated loan investments. During the third quarter, we have $31 million of early redemptions and we currently anticipate an additional $110 million of redemptions in the fourth quarter. As we maintain an active pipeline, we plan to reinvest the proceeds from these early redemptions and achieve comparable yields. But until the reinvested proceeds are fully funded, there will be an impact to core FFO on a temporary basis.
In addition, during the fourth quarter, our investment in a collateralized mortgage obligation, which was originated back in 2010 for $70 million will mature. As a result, we expect to receive a payment of approximately $80 million. This investment has been highly profitable for our shareholders, earning around a 470% return over a whole period. It is another good example of our opportunistic approach to investing. However, replicating this investment in today's low environment low rate environment will be challenging. And will lead to an estimated FFO per share headwind of $0.14 to $0.18 in 2020, subject to reinvestment yield and timing. Lastly, on capital markets activity, we also took advantage of the decline in interest rates to issue $550 million of unsecured bonds in the third and fourth quarter with a coupon of 3%. The majority of this debt is being used to repay secured debt maturing in 2020. We will continue to be opportunistic as we consider our refinancing alternatives to optimize our cost of capital.
This concludes my remarks, and I will now turn the call over to the operator for Q&A. Thank you.
Questions and Answers:
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Our first question is from Austin Wurschmidt with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please proceed.
Austin Wurschmidt -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
Thanks for taking the questions. First question is really around Prop. 10, 2.0. And I guess, since the initial Prop. 10 vote in 2018, and other than AB 1482 getting passed, I was just curious what else has changed in your mind that could potentially swing the vote in 2020 in your view?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Okay, Austin, it's Mike. Yes, we certainly hope that we would not be following up on Prop. 10 this quickly, but here we are. So to the contrary, actually, we are hoping that the bills passed would be given time to work. And so anyway, what's happening currently is signature gathering is ongoing for the proposition. They're somewhere around 600,000 signatures. They probably need around 900,000 signatures in order to get rid of the duplicates and unregistered voters, etc. So they still have a ways to go. As you know, we've kept our California for responsible housing entity in place that was used as part of the Prop. 10 battle, and we're just starting to focus on the proposal. But I would say, remember that Costa-Hawkins Prop. 10 was overwhelmingly defeated in 2018 and a loss in all but 1 county in California. It was a decisive victory. And again, I think the politics are a little bit different this time in that the I think the Governor and legislature would like have some time for the existing bills to work before going to the ballot box. So I think it's still too early to tell exactly what's going to happen, but we are definitely focused on it. And we're organized and ready to fight it as needed.
Austin Wurschmidt -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
But would you say anything sentiment-wise from the voters that either changes to the proposed bill or something among, I guess, just voters in general that they're taking a different view because we all know that it obviously was we down pretty significantly in 2018.
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. So I think that there have been some changes that make it more palatable to voters, but again, less palatable than another sand. So it exempts individuals that own 2 homes or less, for example, from the provisions. But then again, there is a vacancy control element, which I think will be viewed as being undesirable. So I think that there are offsetting pieces there. And again, I think the politics are very different this time because as you'll recall, with respect to Prop. 10, the Democrat party endorsed it. I think that's very unlikely this time. So we still think that it doesn't get supported and will be voted down. But again, it's a little bit early to come to that conclusion, I guess.
Austin Wurschmidt -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
Okay. I appreciate that. And then I know you said there's not a material impact from AB 1482. I was just wondering if you could put a finer point on that and what the impact to 2019 same-store revenue growth would have been if we were looking at that being implemented Jan 1 this year?
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Yes, this is John. The again, from Essex's perspective, for years, we have done a couple of things. One, we self-imposed rent caps, which are relatively consistent with 1482. And No.2 is we typically what we always focus on the market, and we try to bring the renewals slightly below or at market. So we're not really ahead of the market with our renewals. So with that said, and the fact that rents are growing roughly 3% a year, I probably would not have had a material effect on '19 and nor will it on '20. The types of issues that you can run into is if you're pushing ahead of the market? Or so there is a little bit of friction as it relates to the terms. Sometimes shorter-term leases get some price premiums, but we have relatively few of those. So I don't see it having really a material impact on our business. But we'll obviously include whatever that will be in our guidance when we issue that next quarter.
Austin Wurschmidt -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
Appreciate the thoughts, guys. Thank you.
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Thank you.
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you.

Our next question is from John Kim with BMO Capital Markets. Please proceed.
John Kim -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst
Thank you. I was wondering on the sea K with 5% rent cap, what do you think that will have as far as impact on your renewal rates and your same-store results?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. I think John will probably want to add to this. We run our renewals and new leases, new lease rates at pretty similar numbers for the September '19 year-over-year, new was 3.1% and renewals 4% overall for the company. So because of that, again, as John said, we don't see it having a huge impact on our portfolio. John, do you want to add to that?
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
No, I mean, that answers that. Again, it's the way we operate, it's again, consistent with how we've operated for years with self-imposed caps, with how we look at the market and how we look at our renewals with respect to the marketplace. So yes, again, I do not see a material impact. There may be minor impacts as it relates to terms and how we adjust, and we're working through all that right now, but it's just really not a material impact.
John Kim -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst
Okay. And then my second question is on now being that acquirer with the cost of capital getting more attractive. Are there any major underwriting assumptions that you're doing differently this time that you that you're taking now versus before. And can you update us on where you see the best return as far as acquisitions, preferred investments and development.
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Sure, John. This is Mike. In terms of underwriting, we look at things much like we have in the past. We will look at every transaction-based on the submarket rent growth. And again, our research department ranks our submarkets by 4-year rent growth divide it into 30 submarkets. And so we're trying to invest in the top-performing submarkets from a rent growth perspective over that period of time. So that's how we do that, and we'll call the portfolio with respect to the bottom part of that hierarchy. And in terms of of best overall performance. I think that on acquisitions, we look at it relative to the portfolio. So in other words, what are the returns that are available in the private markets. Versus what other what returns are implied in the stock and try to understand how we create value, how we can create core FFO per share and NAV per share growth. Both of those metrics are the key to what we how we look at an acquisition. And then, of course, whether we use on balance sheet sources of money versus our co-investment program. So all these factors go into how we underwrite a transaction and how we approach it and really no different from before.
John Kim -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst
Thank you.

Our next question is from Trent Trujilio with Scotiabank. Please proceed.
Trent Trujillo -- Scotiabank -- Analyst
Hey, good morning, On your 2020, I guess, preliminary outlook there. The job growth forecast for Southern California looks to be basically a continuation of what we've seen year-to-date. And now, as you look at your markets and think about you seem to do a deep dive into office space requirements, tech growth, VC funding and other factors, would you say that Southern California job growth has a higher likelihood to surprise the upside or downside than what you put in that forecast?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
It's a good question. I wish I have that answer. And I would if I did have that answer, it might influence what we what our decision-making is. But we tend to gravitate at this point in time. If you look at the top part of our portfolio from a growth perspective, it still remains the north and the tech markets. Although definitely, Southern California is benefiting from some of the tech companies moving operations to Southern California. I think Seattle is benefiting more from that trend out of the Bay Area, but Southern California definitely will get some advantage. As in Southern California, it's been in this low 1% range for several years.
And so to bet that it's going to move a lot is probably unlikely, I would guess. It's the huge it's the the largest part of our portfolio. It's a huge amount of people and jobs. And so it's hard to make that work. It's a more diversified economy, more reflective of the United States. And so practically speaking, I think that the job forecast is not going to vary by a whole lot. If you look at this past year, we said originally, Southern California a year ago to a year ago, the '19 forecast. Southern California would be at 1.3%. We had Northern California at 2%. So we've done quite a bit better in Northern California. It's currently at about 2.7%, and Seattle has done a lot better. So it's really been driven by the tech markets and so I think our view is ride that tech wave, and we think Northern California and Seattle are the best way to do that.
Trent Trujillo -- Scotiabank -- Analyst
I appreciate the color on that. Looking at your development schedule, I noticed that station Park Green Phase III looks it's nearly complete and yet construction costs went up about $10 million or $58,000 a unit versus last quarter. Can you talk about that a little bit more and maybe provide some context as to why that is and how that's perhaps affecting your view of future development starts?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Well, yes. We I've commented actually in the script and many times before about this difficulty of direct development in that construction costs are growing much faster the rents, and it's compressing development yields. And as you see us go from Phase 3 to Phase 4, you see the cost pretty significantly. Again, as it relates to Phase III, specifically caused by shortages of labor and longer periods that the building that's under construction and similar type problems. And so again, this is I'd like to say that we're different from the comments that we make about direct development, but we are part of that world. And so you're seeing the outcome.
Trent Trujillo -- Scotiabank -- Analyst
All right, thank you very much appreciate the time.
Operator
Our next question is from Shirley Wu with Bank of America. Please proceed.
Shirley Wu -- Bank of America -- Analyst
Hey, guys, thanks for taking the question. So my first question has to do with the supply that you've seen in '19. So in your '19 forecast, you guys forecasted around 35,700 units coming online in '19. So I was curious about the slippage that you do anticipate going into '20? And what submarkets do were probably going to be in?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes, Shirley. This is Mike. Yes, there are some there are some nuances here. As to '19, we were actually very close. If we go back to our original expectations for 2019, we're still very close to that number. So I give our research department, great credit for doing such a good job building the supply pipeline up and being pretty accurate. There have been some delays that we're a little bit greater than what is implied in our forecast, but it's really been something that has added a lot of value. What will change between '19 and '20 is the sort of the cadence of the supply delivery. So in 2019 in Q1 and Q2, we had roughly 16,000 units delivered out of the 35,000 total. In 2020, that will go to about 19,000.
So we're actually projecting that Q4 2019 is the peak on a quarterly basis to supply. So even though it looks like it's the same number year-over-year. The reality is that it's peaking now and will decline throughout 2020. This will have an impact on pricing in that we will have more supply deliveries in the first and second quarter, which obviously are more impactful to our 2020 guidance. And but again, as we've noted on in our presentation at the BAML meeting. Overall, we hit the peak on building permits in a couple a year or 2 ago. And so we're now down about 13% from that number. So we think that we get the peak of supply as to permits, we think that we'd hit the peak as to deliveries in Q4 2019 and it looks like we get better as the year goes on in 2020.
Shirley Wu -- Bank of America -- Analyst
All right. So then, I guess, just to follow-up on that. Your strategy going into the early '20s, would be to keep occupancy and to pull back operate expand.
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Our strategy going forward, you're saying? Yes. As I mentioned in my remarks upfront, our portfolio right now is at a 97.2% occupancy, and that was very purposeful. We held out, benefiting from the stronger peak leasing season and the peak in rents, which was later this year, again, another good thing that we benefited from, but then we rapidly reposition the portfolio, recognizing the supply that's coming at us. So yes, we will hold out higher supply, but I'm sorry, higher occupancy, but more than that, we positioned our portfolio, which will enable us to avoid some of the lows. When I say choppy, what I mean is, occasionally, people start pricing units down too aggressively. And if we're in a good position like we are in right now, we'll have the ability to hold back way to week and hold back and let things clear up and then lease our units. So I do expect our occupancy to come down some from the 97.2%, but we'll generally favor occupancy for the next couple of quarters, for sure.
Shirley Wu -- Bank of America -- Analyst
Got it. So my next question is on expenses. Year-to-date, expenses are up 3%. But you maintained expenses at 2% to 2.4%. So I guess, how should we think about the rest of the year? With just the different buckets and expenses and admin and R&M is a little bit higher for the quarter as well?
Angela L. Kleiman -- Executive Vice President And Chief Financial Officer
Yes. Shirley, it's Angela here. On the expenses side, it's tough to look at quarterly run rate and then try to assume what that means because expenses are, by nature, very lumpy. And you'll see that last year, our expenses ran higher in the second half, particularly in the fourth quarter. Whereas this year, it's a little bit more throughout the year. And when we set our expense planning with the team. What we don't do is we don't focus on when they're going to execute certain expense items. It's really whenever it makes sense for them to do so and if there's a good window to do so. And so at the end of the day, you'll see that lumpiness and it's probably going to continue. Having said that, we are expecting to come in in our guidance range, and we are on plan as far as the expenses are concerned.
Operator
And our next question is from Nick Joseph with Citigroup. Please proceed.
Nick Joseph -- Citigroup -- Analyst
Thanks. I appreciate the color on the operating strategy. Sorry, if I missed it, but what's the current loss to lease for the entire portfolio versus this time last year?
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Sure. Let me start. The loss to lease is obviously a function of the market rent versus scheduled rent. And so as I mentioned, we had a phenomenal year this year. Increasing our scheduled rent 3.5%. So we took a lot of the rent that was available in the marketplace 0.5%. So we took a lot of the rent that was available in the marketplace. And then we also held out longer for adjusting our portfolio, which meant that said, our numbers are 90 basis points for September of '19 versus 150 basis points for September of '18. But again, because of these adjustments, a better way to look at it is really recognizing that the if we average August and September together for both years, they come up actually equal. So we're about in the same spot as we were last year, but we drove more money down to the bottom line because of the market conditions and how we played it. Does that answer your question?
Nick Joseph -- Citigroup -- Analyst
It does. That's very helpful. And then, Mike, maybe just on the transaction market. For assets broadly that are impacted by 1482, what do you think the cap rates impact could be going forward?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
It's a good question, Nick. For sure. I don't think it's going to have a huge impact because as long as CPI plus 5 is somewhere around 8%. The market is not underwriting 8% rent growth. And so you may have some years, years that you're coming out of a recession, for example, where you might be constrained by those current parameters. But I think the marketplace is underwriting longer-term rents. I know everyone on the call looks at things much shorter term, the markets take the longer view. And you don't get anywhere near CPI plus 5 in terms of long-term rent growth. So I think it will have a relatively small impact on transaction values.

Our next question is from Rich Hill with Morgan Stanley. please proceed.
Rich Hill -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
I wanted to come back to the supply comments just for a moment, and really ask 2 questions. First, and foremost, just so I'm clear, it sounds like supply has just been pushed out a little into 2H. 4Q '19 is the peak and that will still have some ripple effects through 1Q and 2Q. But once we get past that, if I'm thinking about this correctly, we should finally be passive supply. Am I thinking about that correctly?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
This is Mike. And we don't have our numbers for 2021 yet. So flying blind a little bit, but I definitely agree with what you're suggesting. We think that the peaks have been with respect to permits, and we're starting to see it in the deliveries. And so I think it will level off at a level that will be quite a bit below the 35,000, but there's still plenty of interest in development. So we're not saying it's going to a nominal amount. We're just suggesting it will trend down. And [Speech Overlap] in 2021.
Rich Hill -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Helpful. And I want to come back to your comment about plenty of interest in development. And Mike, I just want to play devil's advocate here for a second. You've noted that interest rates have really helped your acquisition volumes and there's a tremendous amount of negative yielding, fixed income debt globally by our count, around $15 trillion. Is there any scenario where development yield or do development suddenly begins to reaccelerate because development yields actually look really compelling on a relative basis, particularly in markets like San Francisco?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. I mean, definitely, I think that, that could happen. It tends not to happen later on in the economic cycle because you have things that pull against you. Labor shortages caused construction cost increases to be very large. And that is a top of the market phenomena, generally not bottom of the market phenomenon. Assets and rents are at pretty high levels. So compare it to the 2012 to 2016 period where we were growing same-property revenue, our average of 7% per year. That is not likely to happen at the top of the cycle, given the constraint of rent to income and affordability. And so we try to triangulate this stuff pretty carefully.
And what we thought is, as I said in the prepared remarks, preferred equity is a better way to approach that, because we're coming in late in the process. We're coming in at the point the consumption begins. The costs are none. The bank financing is in place, etc. And similar to 1 of the deals that we did a couple of years ago, Century Towers, where we would take both an ownership position in a development deal, as well as a preferred equity piece. So we would consider doing that. But the point is we want to come in late in the cycle and because that's where you get better growth and cities generally are more agreeable to helping make development work and just the whole scenario is better.
Rich Hill -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Got it. Thanks. Thanks for that, Mike. I appreciate it.

Our next question is from Rob Stevenson with Janney Mungari Scott. Please proceed.
Rob Stevenson -- Janney -- Analyst
Good afternoon. Mike, of your three acquisitions this quarter, it looks like 2 JVs and 1 wholly owned. How do you guys think about how much more aggressive you can bid for deals in a 50% JV with the various fees and promotes than you'd be comfortable bidding for a wholly owned asset? I mean, does the 50% JV structure allowed you to bid 25 basis points lower, 50 basis points? How meaningful is that gap when you're able to bring the co-invest program to bear?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes, it's a good question. Actually, the we have a partner on the other side. And if we're going to pursue something, which will generally be the larger transactions in a joint venture mode. We're working with them on these scenarios. We generally have a sort of an internal benchmark sensitivity analysis as to whether it's more beneficial for us to be in a JV format or on balance sheet. And essentially, over time, we go back and forth in terms of depending upon the cost of capital and the impacts on core FFO per share and NAV per share. So we're constantly changing the mix. And but I would say we're not trying to push the pricing because if we start pushing the pricing, guess what? We start affecting future deals. And so we want to buy properties that we think are well suited, well-located at a attractive yield, yield that works, it adds value both from a core FFO and an NAV per share basis and not influence the market. So that's our basic program. It really hasn't changed a lot. And I cringe a little bit about the thought of, oh gee, we should bid more because we can bid more. We really try to avoid that.
Rob Stevenson -- Janney -- Analyst
But there has to be some sort of gap there, right? I mean, whatever it is, because otherwise, at this point in the cycle, given your $20-some-billion entity and opportunities are more scarcity capital for you, you do them all on balance sheet, right?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Well, no, not really, actually. So in the sensitivity analysis that I was talking about, we need a certain premium to NAV in order to utilize our balance sheet as opposed to a joint venture transaction. So just working through the math, on these things. And so right now, our preference, strong preference is to use joint ventures. You will notice that we did do one deal on balance sheet, but it was a relatively small deal, township and that was driven more by the size of the deal rather than its overall impact. So that's how we look at it. Again, it's not in our best interest, I don't think, to try to push the market cap rates down. We want cap rates to remain as high as possible. So and then it's really the other way around. Our transaction people try to find high-quality deals in markets that are going to grow and then we try to find the best capital to fund that deal. So the transaction comes first, the capital decision comes second.
Rob Stevenson -- Janney -- Analyst
Okay. And second question. Year-to-date, average monthly rental growth in the same-store portfolio was 3.4%. How much are you seeing expansion in fee growth in the same-store portfolio, pets, parking, trash, etc, and how we sort of reached the point, not only in your portfolio, but it is an industry we sort of maxed out on the fees you can charge a resident that you're already say, $4,500 a month for rent.
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Sure. This is John. The fee part of it is running just slightly in front of the base rental revenue at this point in time. But that said, there's a level of change that's going on within the different line items. For example, you have cable and you have the cable cutting, so that's going down. At the same time, parking is going up. And then there's a few other line items that are moving, where pets is fairly flat. So I think longer term, there'll be some opportunities. I had mentioned a while ago, we were working with renting some of our amenity space to nonresidents. And at the same time, I commented that immediately, two of our peers picked up that off the call and with our same vendors. So we're pretty quiet about the details that we have going on. But going forward, at least. But I do think there will be some level of opportunity with that. The big thing though, always is rents. And Essex is always been focused on our assets, on our locations on our research and that will always be the No.1 most important aspect of Essex, but we do try to enhance our returns wherever possible.
Rob Stevenson -- Janney -- Analyst
And how meaningful are the overall fees or whatever you're calling fees out of the revenue standpoint these days?
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
You're talking a few percent.

Our next question is from Alexander Goldfarb with Sandler O'Neill. Please proceed.
Alexander Goldfarb -- Sandler O'Neill -- Analyst
Hey, good morning, Mike, on the rent regulation on AB 1482, and then you got Prop 10 2.0, I thought that part of 1482 superseded whatever local towns wanted to do. So what would overturning and maybe that's not correct, but what would overturning Costa-Hawkins do given the implementation of 1482?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes, Alex. Actually, 1482 does not affect what current rent control regulations that are in place. So it sits separately from that. So those regulations remain in place.
Alexander Goldfarb -- Sandler O'Neill -- Analyst
Right. I didn't mean to overrule the current regulations. I thought it governed stuff going forward. Is that not the case?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Well, you have Costa-Hawkins out there that's a statewide law. You have 1482, that's statewide law. And then you have the local regulations. And maybe I'm not understanding your question. But each of them sit as a separate entity and they one does not supersede or overrule the next. They you have to comply with each of them. Does that make sense?
Alexander Goldfarb -- Sandler O'Neill -- Analyst
Yes. No, Mike, that absolutely does. That absolutely does. And then the second thing is, Angela, you mentioned the $0.14 to $0.18 of headwind. And I think, if I heard correctly, that was from the early repayments that you got in third Q and that you're expecting in 4Q. So maybe just a question of how quickly do you think you can put that to work? And then, Mike, you spoke about the competition or what's going on in your preference for the developer equity, but clearly, others your peers are getting into that business. Maybe you can talk a little bit about how you guys view a deal for income versus underwrite a deal that you may actually want to own the asset at the end.
Angela L. Kleiman -- Executive Vice President And Chief Financial Officer
Alex, on the structural finance and comments, let me just make sure I clarify. So on the early redemption of that's coming toward us in Q4 of $110 million. That does not relate to the $0.14 to $0.18 headwind for next year. Because we do expect to backfill those prefer equity investments. So the question really is, there will be some headwind because as these deals get backfilled, they don't fund immediately. They tend to take up to 6 months to fund. And so that's one item and I don't have a specific number for that at this point in time. But I highlighted the 14 to 16 I mean, $0.14 to $0.18, because that's a more meaningful from a single investment, and that relates to the CMO that we originated back in 2010. So it's separate from the preferred equity. And that's a onetime item for that instrument.
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Alex, I'll try to hit the second part of your question. So when we realize that there definitely is more competition for preferred equity, that's definitely a true statement. We feel pretty good about the relationships that we have formed and a number of our relationships have come back for a second transaction. And so we feel pretty good, and we feel like we have an advantage there relative to others, we're a known quantity. We've been in the business a long time. We have great good construction lending relationships that we can marry with our preferred equity, etc. And we've always tried, and I've commented on this on the call too, to leverage those preferred equity investments into other types of relationships, either by trying to get an option to buy at the end. And we generally, don't get an option to buy, primarily because the developer thinks it's worth a lot more than we do at the end of the construction period.
So that's been a headwind. So you end up you would take a much lower yield and then have an average transaction at the end. That's not attractive to us. We do have a seat at the table. There have been several of these transactions that we've either purchased at the end or purchased shortly after construction completion and/or converted to a longer-term, lower preferred interest that keeps us in the capital structure. Again, as I said in my comments, one of the there are a couple of opportunities to do some direct development, and this would be one of them, which is marrying our preferred equity with a direct ownership interest in the deal, where we're coming in, again, later on in the process.
So we continue to look for ways to leverage the preferred equity into other types of transactions. And for whatever reason, this whole series of refinances, I think we looked at a couple of those deals. Refinances and sales, Andrew referred to in the comments, looked at some of those deals, but a number of them, we did not they just went on and sold the property and/or we didn't want them. So again, I think that preferred equity keeps in the hunt from a variety of perspectives, and it's worthwhile and it's also great financially.

Our next question is from Steve Sakwa with Evercore ISI. please proceed.
Steve Sakwa -- Evercore ISI -- Analyst
Thanks, Really just 1 question, Mike, as you sort of think about AB 1482 and some of the other potential legislative changes. Has it sort of altered your investment strategy as it relates to submarkets, age of assets, types of buildings that you're willing to buy and conversely, is it impacting how you think about the portfolio and what you might want to sell going forward?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. Steve, good to hear your voice. It does, to some extent, I guess, beginning at the a couple of years ago when this risk was increasing. Looking at our portfolio from the perspective of the cities that have really horrible rent control, rent control that basically shuts down new development. It was essentially fixed by Costa-Hawkins and that Costa-Hawkins prohibited forms of rent control to older property in effect. So I'd say we have been more cautious with respect to those cities, they'd be basically San Francisco, Berkeley, Santa Monica, etc. And but beyond that, I think that the discussion in California has become a pretty balanced discussion in that it's not just about protecting the renter, which is obviously important, and it's why 1482 was a bill that the California Apartment Association did not oppose. But at the same time, don't change the ability or the attractiveness of developing more housing because there's an enormous shortage in California, estimated by 1 study at 3.5 million homes and probably getting much worse.
That was as of 2015, it's probably gotten worse since then. And maybe another way of looking at it is, I think, in this cycle, we produced about 5x more jobs than homes created in the Essex markets. So 270,000 jobs to 55,000 homes. So the housing shortage is getting worse, not better. And the last thing we need is to shut down the development pipeline. So I guess, we view 1482 as a balanced proposal. We view the amendment of Costa-Hawkins is essentially an anti growth, very unbalanced proposal and so that's how we look at it. So I guess, we'd change in a couple of very specific areas in terms of where we want to own property, but it hasn't had a huge impact on the overall company.

Our next question is from Hardik Goel with Feldman & Associates. please proceed.
Hardik Goel -- Zelman & Associates -- Analyst
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my question. I've got two for you today. The first one, on supply, just to understand your thinking here. I acknowledge permits are down 13% over the last 12 months in our markets. But if I look at the pipeline of units that have been started, that pipeline, whenever it's needed to be delivered. If I just add up all those that have started. That's at 5x what's been completed over the last 12 months. So even if I assume like a really high abandonment rate or I assume a lot of it is delayed, it seems like it's a multiyear supply pressure kind of thing that's maybe either in late 2021. Does that consider what you're seeing? How would you think about that?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. No, it's not at all consistent with what we're seeing. I mean, here's the problem. I mean, the data vendors have a very difficult time trying to weed out which projects are shown 3 different times: by name, by location, by and you really need to sort through that data and really understand where it is in the process. I know there are a lot of metros in the U.S. that you can take a permit and/or a start and you can go out 24 months and you have an apartment building. It just doesn't work out here. And so you've really have to be involved in a more fundamental level, driving the assets, understanding what they look like, where they are in the development process in order to get a good estimate what's going to be produced. So because for 2020, if it's not under construction right now.
It's not going to deliver in 2020. So I think we know again, 50 units and more is what we do, but we send our people out and they drive the buildings because we view supply as being a critical thing. Supply used to be more scattered around throughout our marketplaces. It's become much more concentrated. And as a result, we have to understand it much better that we have in the past. And so that's where we spend a lot of time on it, getting that right. So we feel very comfortable in our 2020 numbers. And sorry about the basic data that's out there. It's tough to follow.
Hardik Goel -- Zelman & Associates -- Analyst
That's really helpful. And I completely agree to 2020 kind of outlook. It's just hard to see through to 2021. And just to follow-up on what you just said, what is that pipeline number look like in terms of I mean, you said it takes so much longer to build in California. That must mean that if you look at what's under construction right now, you can see through the visibility is higher for 2021 as well, right?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes, you're right. Yes, you are right. We just haven't focused on 2021 yet. So we'll get there. We'll be talking about 2021 next year. I don't have that information right now. I'm sure it exists within Essex. I just don't have it right now. So and I suspect that, again, as you go through 2020, you have a pretty significant drop off. You start with 10,000 units in Q1 and you have somewhere around 7,000, 8,000 units in Q4. So that drop off is definitely there. And but I just don't have the next steps in front of me, and I don't want to make it up.
Hardik Goel -- Zelman & Associates -- Analyst
Sure. And just lastly, if you could share the new and renewal for the quarter, just those spreads?
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer

Our next question is from John Pawlowski with Green Street Advisors. Please proceed.
John Pawlowski -- Green Street Advisors -- Analyst
Thanks, Mike, the acquisitions this year have been focused in Northern California, can we expect Northern California bias to continue next year if your cost of capital stays advantageous?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
It's a good question, John. The pipeline right now is pretty heavily weighted in Northern California and for maybe add a little bit of color to that. We see this rent-to-income ratio at about 103%. So incomes have done really well in Northern California and so that becomes less of a constraint. And Southern California has not really kept up to that number. But we hope that we can also buy in Seattle. So those 2 markets would be our focus. And but we might buy an asset or 2 in Southern California as well.
John Pawlowski -- Green Street Advisors -- Analyst
Okay. John, could you help us quantify a bit of the choppiness you're referring to in Northern California that you expect over the next few quarters and just be a bit more specific. If so for instance, in Northern California, today, on average, is printing 3.5% revenue growth, a choppiness hits. What does that trajectory of revenue growth look like this time next year.
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Sure. So the choppiness really relates to what's going on with market rents at any point in time, not necessarily revenue. There's a difference, obviously, that, in part, was why strategically we filled the portfolio up to 97.2% and are in a good position going forward. So what I'm expecting the as I mentioned, in Northern California, specifically, the supply is twice as much in the second half of this year, '19 as it was in the first half. And unfortunately, that's coming at a time when demand is seasonally slower or lower. So that will impact market rents, and it will largely emanate around where the supply is being delivered. So you can you can imagine, in places like downtown Oakland, where there's a little bit more supply, there will be an impact.
But in the sense of revenues, we're obviously not giving out next year's guidance, but we're reaffirming this year's guidance, and it really I don't see it having a huge impact on us because we positioned ourselves well to avoid that. I think there'll be some headlines of rents being down. But again, I use the word choppy because it's not that they're going to be down long term, you got to step back for a second and realize the Bay Area is a very strong market. It has very strong job growth. The supply that's coming into it. Big picture is under 1%. So we're in a good spot. It's just going to create some headlines of lower rents for the quarter and probably into the first quarter of next year, and that's what I'm really referring to.
John Pawlowski -- Green Street Advisors -- Analyst
Okay. Understood. Just a follow-up there. One submarket that stood out within that broader healthy backdrop this quarter was San Mateo. And just in terms of the sequential trends, anything specific there that on the demand side that you're seeing outside of lumpy supply hitting?
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Yes. No, that one is really a market that the results there for the quarter for San Mateo are really a result of the market being strong. And what I mean by that, actually, is a very strong market. And I think our own ops team got over there. Skis on that a little bit. And so we had a vacancy decline of over 200 basis points in that market, which is what drove that number. But that's obviously resolved. So it was really the function of the market being so strong, they got, I think, a little bit overconfident with that particular market.

Our next question is from Rich Anderson with SMBC. Please proceed.
Rich Anderson -- SMBC -- Analyst
Thanks, 15 minutes before the call starts, this is what I get. We're in 10 minutes in. So thanks for sticking around. But I do want to ask a couple of so when I think of the Essex perhaps of old, you're always kind of at least a couple of hundred basis points better than the national average from a same-store growth active. And you're kind of more of your standards more pedestrian type of internal growth today. Is it all entirely this concentration of supply issue? Or are there the dynamics, perhaps on the demand side that have changed such that kind of a return of Essex as being this premium growth provider are perhaps gone for a while.
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
It's a good question, Rich. I appreciate it. I'd say every economy, every recovery period is a little bit different. And so there is no one size fits all, and there will be times when we, I think, pretty significantly outperform. And this business is, one, I think, reasonable people would agree that rents and incomes have to grow pretty close to one another over long periods of time. And so but the cycle, I think, is somewhat different. And I said earlier, from 2012 to 2016, rents grew, our same-property revenue grew 7% a year. And that was much faster than incomes. And therefore, we created an affordability issue, which we are now mending and it is getting better.
So we see I don't think anything has changed. I think we are in the markets that generate the highest CAGRs of rent growth over long periods of time. And certainly, this cycle seems to be pretty strong. We got a lot more, lot better rent growth for a long period of time, which I think everyone has forgotten, but it's set up the affordability issue, and we're working through that. And you know what, we've made progress, a lot of progress. So from as I mentioned before, from 2010 to 2015, rents outgrew incomes by about 220%. If you look at that number from 2010 to 2019, rents grew income by about 30%. So it's getting tighter and we are solving that affordability problem, and there will be a point down the road where rents will do better.
Rich Anderson -- SMBC -- Analyst
Okay. That's great color. And then, very early on in the call, you mentioned how supply is really concentrated in the urban areas, which you generally are not. And I'm curious if you've been able to quantify how well Essex has done relative to your urban counterparts from an internal growth perspective. Is there a number that you track to see how you're doing purely on that using that supply observation?
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. This is Mike again. I think that there are just fundamental differences between us and the competitive set. And I think one of the key difference is that we our focus is core FFO per share growth and NAV per share growth, it really is not tied to the same-property metrics that are quarter-to-quarter, etc. And they won't why does that matter? Why would it disconnect? It would disconnect to the extent that you make investments in property, you overinvest in property, for example, which use capital dollars. And yes, it will push up your same-property revenue growth but it doesn't actually add value on a bottom line basis.
So when you look at large capital investments, capital investments that have relatively short duration income, we're less excited about that. We are interested when we do renovation projects, for example, we're looking for a long-term return consistent with real estate, and there's lots of things that can be done investing in personal property, shorter-term, revenue-generating type proposals that can make those numbers look better. That's not our focus. Our focus is on growing income and core FFO per share cash flow over long periods of time. And I think go look back at the chart, Rich, there I think the proof is in the detail. There's actually 1 chart on our in our presentation that, I think, sums it up, which is we produced a long-term we've got 25-year CAGR. We've been a public company for 25 years, the CAGR of shareholder return is 16%. I don't think there's a lot of companies that have done that over 25 years.

Our next question is from Neil Malkin with Capital One Securities. Please proceed.
Neil Malkin -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst
Hey, guys, thanks for taking the questions. I just have 2 questions and 5 follow-ups for each of those questions. The first one is, I saw that your notes receivable increased by about $145 million this quarter. Is that a change in classification of that remix that I think you were talking about selling? Or is that something else? Some color on that would be helpful because that's a pretty large amount.
Angela L. Kleiman -- Executive Vice President And Chief Financial Officer
The note receivable increase on the income line is really because we have 2 bridge loans associated with the acquisitions that have provided to our joint venture. And so those are, once again, temporary in nature, but they do generate some income for the couple of quarters of their outstanding until we procure permanent financing.
Neil Malkin -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst
Okay. I know that a lot of questions have been asked about supply, but some I'm trying to dig into the data. It looks like the East Bay, San Jose, 2 of your largest markets, supply is expected to as a percentage of existing stock should go up by more than double. And even if you assume this double counting phenomenon you're talking about, that would imply that like almost all the products are double counted. So I guess, is it just a gross error in the vendor, Axiometrics, for example, that is massively overstating the impact? Or any again, any help they're trying to understand, because to me, it seems like you're setting up for a situation like we were a couple of years ago when the Bay Area had rents that fell precipitously due to clusters of supply relative to job growth that was not of the early cycle [Indecipherable]
Michael J. Schall -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. I might preface the history with I think you're referring to probably 2015, '16, when the Bay Area slowed pretty dramatically. And but again, still very positive. And back to my prior comment that if rents get too far out ahead of incomes, it creates an affordability issue, which is like a constraint. It isn't a supply demand issue. It's a constraint issue, but people make different decisions like doubling up, tripling up, whatever. And so that becomes a factor. Again, back to this this rent to income in Northern California. It's currently at 103% of the long-term historical average, which makes it more affordable than Southern Cal at 109% and so we think that Northern Cal is essentially fixing that affordability issue faster than everyone else.
Our numbers and again, I can't comment on that as to the data vendor. And we realize it's challenging to get accurate data with respect to supply. Having said that, as I said, previously, we were really accurate in 2019. I give our people a lot of credit for doing the hard work of putting this together. But if I just look big picture, at 2020, we expect in Northern California, about 72,000 jobs and we are producing about 18,000 total housing units. So 11,000 apartments and 6,400 single-family homes. That relationship is 2:1. So candidly, we need more housing in Northern California, and it doesn't appear that there's a supply demand issue with respect to that. I mean, you would so I think it looks good. 72,000 job should translate to about demand for about 36,000 homes, total homes, not apartments, in total. And we produce about 18,000. So that still seems to work as far as we're concerned.
Neil Malkin -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst
I hear you on that. I just like I said, I mean, some of the data providers that they have addresses, names, a lot of details. So I mean, it just seems like it's odd that they'd be off by such a large amount. So maybe that's something I can look into more.

Well, maybe just go back go back a year and look at what the projections were and then look at what they are now. I mean, I think that's probably the best way to do it.
Neil Malkin -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst
All right. And then just last one, short-term rentals are becoming a little bit more talked about. I just wondered, just given the especially your types of markets, maybe a higher transient or migration-related demographic. Are you how much, if any, are you looking to put that into your portfolio? Is that something that you're seeing more demand for, more interest in? And if so, what kind of role do you see that playing in your portfolio?
John F. Burkart -- Sr. Executive Vice President And Chief Operating Officer
Well, this is John. We are, of course, always looking to figure out how we can maximize the value of the assets. And so we do explore different opportunities and evaluate the impact. What we see oftentimes if you're meeting like the overnight type rentals, we see that, that has a negative impact on the quality of life for our customers or other customers. And ultimately, hurts our overall market, hurts our market rents. At the end of the day, it creates issues there. Having you can imagine having people coming in with with all their overnight stuff through the leasing offices and into the amenity space. And they have a different frame of mind, a very short-term frame of mind as opposed to the tenants that live there, and it's their home. So we continue to look for opportunities and there are some situations where that's working, where people are taking a floor or a building and segregating it that way to basically define different spaces, but there are still issues then with the amenities crossing over. So we'll constantly look at that, but I think it's not a huge opportunity at this point in time unless something changes.
