Daily Data 📈

One headline that should interest you is the rise in construction to meet housing demand. So, how does this impact single-family residences (SFR), and specifically build-to-rent (BTR) single-family residences? 

Just check out a few of these highlights from a recent Wealth Management piece. 
  • Multi-family units are leading the way in new construction, while BTR SFRs make up about every one in ten new builds in-the works and 6% of land purchased in Q4 of 2021 for building on this year.

  • According to one source, “The housing shortage, as well as long-term systemic demographic drivers, are expected to continue to push demand and rents higher estimated at 4 percent to 8 percent in 2022 alone."
