Rental housing economist Jay Parsons breaks down the latest data on spring leasing trends, explains why supply is still a headwind even as completions decline, and answers the popular question: Why do different data providers show very different numbers for apartment occupancy right now? Additionally, Jay shares the latest buzz on Congress' potential ban on build-to-rent construction and single-family rental investments — and highlights the chorus of media articles trumpeting real facts to combat runaway narratives about institutional investors. Later in the program, Jay welcomes in proptech trends guru Dom Beveridge of 20 for 20 for a conversation on the latest trends in proptech and AI. Dom shares why his recent survey of apartment execs, asking about technology trends, found "exhaustion" as a key theme, as well as other key findings about what's moving the needle and what's to come.
