M&A and Capital Markets Deal Activity
Our head of investment banking Tony McGill opened with an update on transaction activity across the housing industry, including public equity and bond issuance and the currently active state of mergers and acquisitions. A panel of industry leaders spanning homebuilding, single-family rental and land banking then discussed the forces behind the current wave of consolidation and the read-throughs from recently announced deals; policy updates on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and its implications for future deal activity in single-family rental and built-to-rent; and a deep dive into the history of land banking, its evolution into a mainstream source of capital for builders and where the industry goes from here.

Demographics
Ivy, Ryan and Kevin discussed our recently published report, A Decade Divided, The Troubling Trajectory of Demographics. We challenge the prevailing narrative of a severe housing shortage. Our analysis of declining birth rates, aging populations, and reduced immigration levels are leading to slower household growth projections for the coming decade.
While the first few years of the decade saw record household growth driven by immigration surges and pandemic-related factors, the market has shifted to a more balanced state with modest oversupply in multifamily housing and modest undersupply in single-family homes.
Our analysis argues that current market conditions indicate reasonable balance between supply and demand overall, while acknowledging ongoing challenges in providing truly affordable housing for the lowest income families.
