Description: Rent prices have come down to earth after their meteoric growth of 2020 - 2022, but what will they do in 2025? Will we continue to see slow (or no) rent price growth, or could lower interest rates push more households to form and demand to jump? With so much multifamily housing supply and the Fed’s recent rate cut decision, we’ve got a lot to unpack on this BiggerNews episode. Thankfully, we have Apartment List’s Chief Economist, Igor Popov, to help us. We’re talking about rent prices: where they are, where they’re going, and what’s impacting them in 2024 (and into 2025). Unsurprisingly, we’ve got a lot of multifamily supply—apartments are giving huge concessions to lease up. But what if we told you we were oversupplied AND undersupplied at the same time, and in a few years' time, demand could heat up again? Igor gives a rare 2025 rental market forecast, his take on what’s impacting rent growth, and whether the “oversupply” of multifamily is hurting single-family rental investors’ chances to get higher rents. In This Episode We Cover: A 2025 rental market forecast and whether we’ll see rents grow, decline, or flatten next year The areas where all the rental money is moving to (things have REALLY changed) More renter control as the oversupplied multifamily market searches for tenants Why the housing market is currently in a dangerous flood-drought combination  Will sluggish multifamily rent prices push single-family rents down with them?
