National rent growth is expected to fall to 1-2% over the next year (from 2024-09-03), staying below an inflation rate of 2.5-3%, leading to real dollar profit losses for investors on average.
"overall my expectation is for rent growth to be below the rate of inflation for the next year... I think we'll start to see rent growth on a national basis come down to maybe 1 to 2% and I think inflation's probably going to stay in the 2 and 1 half to 3% for the next couple of months meaning on average investors are going to be losing some profit in real dollars... that is my expectation on a national level at least for the next year"
