Shifting Market Dynamics

The current property management landscape is undergoing a major shift, primarily due to rising interest rates and increased costs in areas such as insurance and property taxes. Many property managers have historically targeted real estate investors, but recent trends indicate a growing cohort of accidental landlords who are seeking management services rather than selling their properties. As homeowners choose to lease their properties instead of selling, given their advantageous existing mortgage rates, property management firms must adapt their marketing strategies to cater to this new audience. This entails pivoting from a focus solely on investors to building relationships with real estate agents and accidental landlords, who may have different concerns such as security and tenant relations.
