Today, in the Real Estate Newsletter: In Q1 2025, 19% of Units Started Built-for-Rent were Single Family
Brief excerpt:
Along with the monthly housing starts report for April released last week, the Census Bureau also released Housing Units Started by Purpose and Design through Q1 2025.
The first graph shows the number of single family and multi-family units started with the intent to rent. This data is quarterly and Not Seasonally Adjusted (NSA). Although the majority of units built-for-rent’ are still multi-family (blue) – even after the sharp decline in 2022 – there has been a significant pickup in single family units started built-for-rent (red).
A total of 102,000 units were started built-for-rent in Q1, with 19% single family units.
There is much more in the newsletter.
