If you’ve been watching the housing market closely, the latest data tells a very clear story: demand is strong, supply is limited, and that dynamic isn’t going away. Rental vacancy is tight and that’s not changing anytime soon.
Homeowner vacancy sitting below 1% means there’s virtually no excess inventory in the ownership market. For many households, that leaves renting as the only viable option. At the same time, rental vacancy is hovering around 6.8% nationally—already below long-term norms—and tightening further as new construction struggles to keep pace with demand.
Add in a nationwide housing shortfall estimated between 3–5 million units, and what you’re seeing isn’t a short-term cycle—it’s a structural imbalance that continues to support both rental demand and long-term asset values.
So what does that mean for you?
For Renters:
Finding the right home in a low-inventory environment can be challenging—but that’s where Trademark makes a difference. With a larger inventory than most rental companies and a free, easy-to-use application process, we help you navigate a tight market and find a home that truly fits your needs.
For Investors:
The question today isn’t whether prices will drop—it’s whether you can secure the right property. Limited supply continues to act as a floor under values, making long-term buy-and-hold strategies more compelling than ever. Our team specializes in identifying and securing those opportunities so you can build and protect your portfolio.
And here’s the proof:
While the national rental vacancy rate sits at 6.8%, Trademark’s portfolio operates at just below 3% vacancy. That’s execution—and it’s what sets us apart.
