Key Takeaways From The Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. housing shortage, decades in the making, is unlikely to abate soon<\/p>\n

\"\"Renting remains significantly cheaper than owning a home, meaning that \u201crenters by necessity\u201d are competing for available supply with \u201crenters by choice\u201d<\/p>\n

How Sunbelt cities in Texas, Florida, and the Carolinas are faring in the current supply cycle<\/p>\n

The forces shaping the housing outlook for gateway cities including New York and Los Angeles<\/p>\n

The regulatory, demographic, and supply information investors should consider when weighing markets<\/p>\n

Multifamily rents remained stagnant in February as the average U.S. advertise rent was unchanged at $1,740, with year-over-year growth dropping 10 basis points to 0.1%.<\/p>\n

February is usually a slow month, but the signals do not point to a strong bump in rents in the spring. Drivers of demand such as population growth, immigration and the job market are not robust, while the occupancy rate and absorption have been weak in recent months.<\/p>\n

Core markets such as Sun Belt markets retain healthy long-term growth characteristics. Sun Belt states such as Florida, Texas and North Carolina are projected to maintain the fastest growth in 2026, albeit at much lesser rates than past years.<\/p>\n
