What to Expect: A reverse trade show and speed networking event, each owner member attendee will be sitting at a table with a chair across from him/her. Suppliers will have an assigned first appointment, then move around the room freely for the remaining meetings.

Renting in Denver

A Post-Pandemic Story

    

Presented by: Skylar Olsen, Chief Economist at Zillow

 

Join Skylar as she discusses these major themes in the rental market. 

  • Rent growth across the country
    • Focus on the big difference in rent growth over the pandemic and where we might expect asking rate rent to go from here
  • Apartment permits and new apartment construction is a big part of the softer rent story
  • Looming over all of this is the MACRO: recessions, general inflation, high mortgage rates stopping the potential first-time buyer from making that hurtle.
  • Pandemic Dynamics:
    • How much of Denver's hot market during the pandemic was an overshoot?
    • Will some remote workers be called back? 
    • Short-term rentals?

Skylar looks at this and more the "Zillow way" - start with the data, set it into context with more data, and then try like heck to make it real and understandable for real people!


 

Homelessness is a Housing Problem

Presented by: Gregg Colburn, Associate Professor,  University of Washington 

 

Housing scholar Gregg Colburn seeks to explain the substantial variation in rates of homelessness apparent in cities across the US. Using accessible statistics, the researchers test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain why, for example, rates are so much higher in Seattle than in Chicago. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a more convincing explanation. With rigor and clarity, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem explores U.S. cities' diverse experiences with housing precarity and offers policy solutions for unique regional contexts.
