"Yardi's March national report indicated that rent growth was just 0.1% year over year, marking the weakest March reading in its dataset, as an ongoing supply glut combined with reduced immigration and slower job growth created persistent headwinds."
"The immigration-driven increase in households has contributed meaningfully to housing demand and, in some markets, has accounted for nearly all the increase in recent years."
