Your monthly PSA: Never trust the Census for multifamily starts data. Garbage. Starts have been down for 2+ years, but Census will have you believe it's been bouncing around like a pinball. https://t.co/Tg651a45hh

@jayparsons I can definitely attest, as I own property in Oakland, that the market feels fundamentally different (and better) than it did 1 to 2 years back. Still a lot of issues with local politics, but renting units has become wildly easy. 95 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Apartment rents appear to have bottomed this past winter, and most MSAs now show improved momentum. In the chart below, any market to the right of the vertical red line has seen improved rent change since March. If it's the bottom right, rents are still falling, but less than ht

*UPDATED* (and still true) When you build "luxury" new apartments in big numbers, the influx of supply puts downward pressure on rents at all price points -- even in the lowest-priced Class C rentals. Here's evidence of that happening right now: There are 21 U.S. markets where
