How do I know what cycle phase my market is in?

Direct answer

Triangulate: vacancy direction, rent growth direction, and pipeline as % of inventory.

Expanded explanation

Falling vacancy + accelerating rent + low pipeline = expansion. Rising vacancy + flat rent + high pipeline = hyper-supply.

Examples

• Phoenix 2024: rising vacancy + flat rent + heavy pipeline = hyper-supply.
