With an incredible volume of supply delivering in 2024, is a “Survive ‘til 25” approach realistic? Can continued economic growth and improving consumer sentiment support continued demand or will external forces curb demand amidst growing inventory? And what will all this mean for 2024 apartment fundamentals and capital markets?
Join RealPage experts Jay Parsons & Carl Whitaker as they kick off the New Year with a timely, data-filled discussion on the apartment market outlook for 2024, covering topics such as:
- Why 2023 apartment demand rebounding to normalized levels was overshadowed by a supply-driven rent growth slowdown.
- Will renewal propensity remain strong with new completions jumping to 40-year highs?
- How the growing importance of maintaining residents can offset turnover cost-pressures and counteract a multi-decade supply peak.
- Why the appetite from both investors and developers remains robust despite the interest rate obstacles to high investment volumes.
The near-term outlook may be murky, but an analysis of supply/demand fundamentals shows the market may be in decent shape heading into the spring. Come see what the future of the apartment market holds and how it could affect your company’s performance in 2024.
