16 Dec Property Management and Renting Trends for 2022
It is no secret that much has changed in the housing market this year. The many shifts have also effected the those who reside in and own rental properties. Factors such as economic changes, supply and demand, job and wage growth, and interest rates all play in to the renting market. How will renting and property management look in 2022? Experts are chiming in on what to expect.
Along with the historic home price growth in 2021, rising rent rates grew just as rapidly. Inflation throughout the economy has impacted almost all Americans. Depending on the tenants it can still be cheaper to rent or can make sense to move into ownership. For real estate investors, rising rates is appealing. The market may continue to see investor purchases as the demand increases. They are in a g good position to see high yields and solid returns if home prices continue to rise throughout 2022.
Since many Americans have the option and requirement to work from their homes, many are transitioning from the city to the suburbs. The demand in suburban areas is likely to continue increasing. More space and affordable housing is more appealing than being close to the workplace or the hustle and bustle of the city.
To that note, build-to-rent communities continue to be a rising trend with investors.
