A slight Uptick in the Single-Family Rental Market Index RevealedIn the latest update of the NRHC/John Burns Real Estate Consulting Single-Family Market Index for Q1 2023, recently published, a modest improvement was observed compared to the previous quarter. Key findings from this quarter's report include:
Normalizing Rental Market: The single-family rental (SFR) market is gradually normalizing after experiencing a boom during the pandemic. Rent growth remains strong, contributing to the market's resilience.
Offsetting Factors: Operating expenses have seen significant year-over-year increases, offsetting some of the gains from rent growth. Despite this, the SFR occupancies nationwide are at a healthy 96%, indicating steady demand keeping pace with the supply growth, which has been relatively restrained in many markets.
Leasing Activity: The SFR current leasing index, which measures leasing activity concerning seasonal norms, reflects an average spring leasing season, reflecting stability and consistent interest in rentals. Moderating Price Growth: Despite the rise in operating expenses, cap rates are increasing, indicating that the price growth rate is gradually moderating.
