NAA FIVE
A weekly digest of key rental housing news and takeaways
prepared exclusively for NAA’s leadership
 

The Big Picture: Economists have released new predictions for overall affordability across key markets. Though a tight housing market overall, there is significant market-level variation. Interest rates could face an upcoming hike despite steady rates.

This week’s top stories
What We're Advocating

RHALS: NAA’s Rental Housing Advocacy and Legal Summit (RHALS) will take place next week in Nashville, Tenn.! This summit will discuss the most pressing issues across the rental housing industry. Read event highlights and access the schedule/education details.
What We're Saying

Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve kept rates steady this week, in part noting that inflationary concerns are playing a central role in the bank's outlook. George Ratiu, NAA's VP of Research, says that "the result is a household economy that looks resilient in the aggregate but strained at the kitchen table. While markets cheered the softer June CPI numbers, consumers do not feel inflation as a monthly data point; they experience the cumulative and significant loss of purchasing power." Read more with NAA’s Economic Indicators.

20 on the Rise: "NAA’s 2026 20 on the Rise class brings together early-career multifamily professionals working across marketing, brand and people development, property management, regional operations and technology partnerships. In interviews with Multi-Housing News, five multifamily rising leaders described roles that look different on paper but increasingly depend on the same skill: connecting the pieces of the apartment business that shape performance and resident experience."
