Track where your market is headed
All of our reports are delivered via email with a short summary, and are posted in our client portal for easy access. Every month, here’s what you can expect in the Rental Communities Fundamentals Report:
Burns Apartment Rent Index™
The Burns Apartment Rent Index estimates historical and current asking apartment rent trends in over 120 markets. We use stabilized property level data from RealPage and aggregate up to the market level. Thus, this index mainly reflects institutionally owned apartments. These apartment rent forecasts are informed by demand (proxied by vacancy rates), affordability (relative to homeownership), and expected supply (multifamily permits).
Burns Home Value Index™
The Burns Home Value Index™ (BHVI) measures home value trends for all homes (new and resale), allowing us to report on and forecast price appreciation without the noise of shifts in the mix of homes selling, as well as other issues.
Homeownership Premium
We measure the cost to own a home (mortgage payment + maintenance) less the average monthly rent in a market to illustrate the substantial premium homeowners pay vs. BTR and apartment renters.
Burns Build-to-Rent Index™
The Burns Build-to-Rent Index estimates historical and current asking build-to-rent (BTR) rent trends in over 47 markets. We aggregate this data from 55k BTR units we track and provide forecasts for these markets through 2026.
Supply, Demand, and Occupancy
Our graphs and analysis reflecting supply, demand, and occupancy tell the story of the top apartment and build-to-rent markets and help you understand what’s to come.
