Greg Willett expressed concerns about the economy, noting vulnerabilities in consumer confidence and rising credit card debt, which may affect renter demand for apartments. He discussed the current leasing season, noting normal demand and occupancy increases, with some rent growth in Dallas and Austin. Willett highlights challenges in new class A deliveries and solid performance in middle-tier to bottom-end products. He shared that Houston is performing well due to less new supply and strong employment growth. Austin faces challenges due to high construction rates and a slowdown in tech job growth. San Antonio is impacted by Austin's struggles. Yes. There has been a slow start to transactions in 2025, but activity is expected to pick up. The ten-year treasury yield stabilization may help.
