The pandemic caused many renters to reevaluate their housing priorities, whether it was teleworking triggering moves, digital nomads looking to join a flexible membership club, pet amenities dog owners won’t rent without, or the insatiable appetite for more packages.
Beyond national trends, there are several market-level nuances affecting renter preferences. National data paints an overall picture for the industry, but it is vital for operators to keep a finger on the pulse of each individual market in their portfolios, too, as trends vary by market.
Please enjoy Apartment.com’s webinar, “The Data is in the Details: An Inside Look at What Renters Like, Love and Can’t Live Without,” with invited guests Grace Hill, NMHC, and Lincoln Property Company, where industry insiders provided a comprehensive look at the features and community amenities that renters can’t live without, how much they are willing to pay for them, and what matters most during their home search.

- Sarah Yaussi, Vice President of Business Strategy at NMHC
- Margette Hepfner, COO, Residential Management, Lincoln Property Company
- Jagan Arumugham, Senior Director, Head of Analytics & Data Science at CoStar Group
