In this solo episode, Todd breaks down the current real estate and economic landscape, focusing on key trends in the rental market. He begins by discussing how national rents experienced the sharpest monthly decline in years, with annual growth slowing, and highlights how this varies by region—some areas remain strong while others are facing pressure. Many apartments are still in lease-up, which means there isn’t less supply and more demand as many have reported. Supply and demand dynamics are putting more pressure on C-class properties, while B-class properties are experiencing higher-than-usual vacancies compared to A-class properties. Todd also examines which markets are still seeing rent growth versus those in decline, and explains what these trends mean for investors.

Shifting to the broader economy, Todd explores the stock market’s impressive gains, the healthy 4.3% unemployment rate, and the importance of watching interest rates. He connects these factors to the real estate market and offers insights on what investors should monitor as the market continues to evolve.
