Management's commentary indicates that the entire multifamily sector could be entering a period of hockey-stick rent growth. Keith Oden explicitly compared the current cycle to the post-GFC recovery, where revenue growth averaged ~4% from 2011-2019 after a 5% decline. — This signals a widespread belief in a sharp sector recovery in 2027-2028 as supply declines and demand persists, which would be a major tailwind for all Sunbelt multifamily REITs.

New apartment supply in Camden's markets is set to decline sharply over the next three years (from ~200k completions in 2025 to ~120k in 2028), and since projects not already under construction cannot hit 2027, this sets up a multi-year supply-constrained tailwind for the Sunbelt multifamily sector. — This indicates that the sector is on the cusp of a significant supply-demand rebalancing, which should lead to outsized revenue growth for established players in the Sunbelt.
