Comprehensive Single-Family Rental Research Insights
Zelman’s Single-Family Rental research integrates real-time operator feedback with thematic and company-level analysis to illuminate performance across the SFR sector.
The Single-Family Rental Survey tracks rent growth, occupancy levels, renewal trends, leasing velocity, maintenance costs, and operational challenges, providing clear visibility into SFR market performance.
Thematic Reports expand this lens by examining institutional SFR investment flows, migration trends, household formation, affordability pressures, and built-for-rent (BFR) community growth. They also assess structural drivers influencing rental demand, renewal strength, and competitive dynamics across key markets.
Company-Specific Reports deliver financial modeling, operating benchmarks, margin frameworks, and market-by-market assessments for major SFR platforms.
Together, these research components give investors, operators, and lenders a comprehensive understanding of rent growth trends, occupancy patterns, and long-term demand signals across the institutional single-family rental market.
