Build-to-Rent
In 2021, a record-breaking 6,740 new built-to-rent homes were completed in the United States, marking the highest yearly total to date. This trend is still in its infancy but is rapidly gaining momentum. The COVID-19 pandemic played a significant role in shaping this trend, as it created an unprecedented demand among renters for more space and privacy. In fact, as many as 78% of renters surveyed expressed interest in living in a community of single-family homes rather than apartments. Single-family rentals have been experiencing high occupancy rates, with the 2021 occupancy rate being 2% higher than that of apartments (97% compared to 95%). This indicates a strong and growing preference for single-family homes among renters, making it an attractive market for developers and investors alike.
