Wednesday May 01, 2024
In this episode, Wes & Gretta dissect what may be behind the recent dip in YOY preleasing velocity in the US market. Is it related to the FAFSA delays? Is it pushback on recent rental rate increases? Is there an enrollment decline ahead?
Included in this episode is a recorded session from April 11th's ShopTalk that also dove into the questions around negative YOY preleasing velocity. The session panelists included Charlie Matthews from College House, Stacey Lecocke of Asset Management, Ben Modleski of Core Spaces, and Zach Newman from Greystar.
