In this episode of the Real Estate Education and Investing Podcast, Erin Spradlin and James Carlson analyze a major shift in the rental market—Metro Denver apartment rents have declined for only the third time in history. Comparing this downturn to past economic crises, they break down why this time is different and how housing supply and demand has played a more significant role than ever before. With Denver experiencing a blizzard of new apartment units hitting the market, competition among landlords is fiercer than ever, forcing many to rethink their investment property pricing strategies. The hosts explore how this trend might extend beyond Denver to other major cities across the U.S., and why similar rental price fluctuations could be happening in key metropolitan areas. The episode also takes a deep dive into migration trends in the U.S., highlighting where people are moving and what that means for investors. Texas has just overtaken Florida as the top relocation destination, while Colorado’s net migration ranking has slightly slipped for the first time in years. What’s driving these shifts? The hosts discuss key factors such as job opportunities, tax incentives, affordability, and quality of life—and why certain markets are seeing an influx of new residents while others are experiencing slowdowns. Whether you're considering investing in Texas, Florida, or other emerging real estate markets, they share valuable insights into where rental demand is expected to rise and how investors can position themselves for success.
