In this inaugural issue of Rethinking Real Estate, a Quasar Research series that aims to re-examine, redefine, and rethink the commercial real estate market with compelling economic research and insights, an age-old, readily relied upon relationship will be put to the test--that, between the U.S. demand for rental units and mortgage rates.
As argued and explained further in our first issue, this relationship no longer holds muster. Investors and developers in the residential space (single family and multifamily, rental and owned)Â must thus proceed with caution when making their next move. Housing affordability has eroded historical trends and patterns. Players in the real estate market should not rely heavily, and certainly not solely, on mortgage rates to assess demand for housing, rental or otherwise.Â
