In today’s episode, we determine just how many conferences is too many for the industry. Plus, Robbie sits down with Cotality’s Molly Boesel to discuss what is
driving the recent rise in single-family rents, why high-end rentals are outpacing lower-end growth, and how local events, new supply, and regional dynamics are shaping rent trends across U.S. cities. And we close with a look at the latest from President Trump's trade war.
