Are we seeing green shoots in the supply-drenched multifamily market? Rental housing economist Jay Parsons breaks down why the answer is "yes," while cautioning that a "green shoot" is just that — early signs of improved momentum, but not yet a rebound. He also notes that there's a long way to go, and the path to recovery could be choppy and uneven. Jay also reveals the one Sun Belt market seeing more green shoots than others right now, and what that could mean for other markets going forward. Later in the program, Jay welcomes in the CEO of CAPREIT, Andrew Kadish. Jay and Andrew discuss trends in affordable and market-rate housing across the East Coast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Andrew also shares his take on how we can get more affordable housing available for those who need it. And Andrew also tells the story of how the company started by his father ended up with the same name as a Canadian REIT — setting up a lifetime of name confusion. And as always, Jay brings back recurring segments like "In the News" (where he talks about a big headline related to new fee transparency rules), "Rental Housing Trivia" and "New Digs."
