New reports from Yardi Matrix and GlobeSt. confirm what Cavan Companies has been building toward for years: Build-to-Rent is gaining momentum, especially in the Sun Belt.

Key takeaways:
• Multifamily starts are down nearly 50%
• Rent growth is expected to stabilize at 3–4%
• BTR is projected to triple its market share by 2026
• Sun Belt cities like Phoenix and Austin are leading the way

This aligns directly with The Bungalows®, our strategy of developing purpose-built, single-story rentals in high-growth markets.
