Rents around Georgia Tech are down 7.7%. Georgia State? Down 14%. After years of pushing rents higher, students are doing the rational thingโ€”moving into conventional apartments where landlords are dangling two months free. This isnโ€™t complicated: Too much supply. Rents climbed past what โ€œmom and dadโ€ can support. International students and new student loan caps are shrinking the pool. Markets always find the ceiling for you if you insist on testing it. Iโ€™ve seen this movie in multifamily more than once. Concessions and absorption numbers tell you when the tide has turned. The winners will be the owners who can hold occupancy, control expenses, and survive until equilibrium returns. You donโ€™t get bonus points for chasing peak rentsโ€”you just get vacancies. https://lnkd.in/egv8r6Tx
