Last year and the year before the condo and multi-family rents came down a little and I attributed that to added supply, but now I’m starting to see it in single family homes.

-Single-family home months of inventory expanded to a 5.2-months supply, up from 4.4 months last October.

There is not any excess of rental supply to uptake that.

Population growth is the demand side of the supply and demand equation.Low crime.

There’s a ton of new construction 3-flats hitting the market, and when supply jumps that quickly, rents flatten because tenants have options.

Quote from @Adam Macias: A 50-year mortgage sounds like affordability — but it’s really it'll be debt that never ends. lolOn paper, stretching a mortgage from 30 years to 50 lowers the monthly payment, yes.But in reality, you’re paying far more in interest while barely building equity for decades.If you buy a house at 25 years old if you're lucky, you'll be 75 when the mortgage term ends...It’s housing that feels like ownership but functions more like renting — just with a longer contract and a higher total cost.The real problem isn’t the length of the loan.It’s the affordability crisis that’s forcing people to consider lifetime debt as a solution.Until we address prices, wages, and supply, extending loan terms only delays the inevitable...The further elimination of the middle class chasing the American Dream of owning a home. 

That trend, along with ongoing shortages of available housing supply, will support 4% growth in home prices next year, he predicts.The optimistic forecast follows three straight years of the lowest volume of home sales since 1995, after affordability concerns pushed many prospective homebuyers to the sidelines.https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/2026-housing-market-fore...

A few things are there-- a partially unboxed sofa, some cleaning supplies, a towel-- but there is no evidence of him every staying there overnight. 

I summarize below.In general, continued heightened supply due to Fed 0% rate policy of 2020-2021 will bring modest rent growth for the next 12 to 18 months.
