“The supply wave that reshaped this market is receding, and demand is gradually moving into the space it leaves behind. Two-bedroom rents turning positive year-over-year is the first real fingerprint that supply and demand are beginning to come back into balance. However, we’ve seen false starts before, so cautious optimism is still the prudent read…What the national figures hide, though, is that there really isn’t an average housing market right now. Supply remains the defining force, but it’s landing very differently from market to market. Where new supply is being absorbed, rents are beginning to firm. Where inventory is still building, renters continue to hold the leverage.” Said Zumper CEO Shawn Mullahy.
