1. National pulse

Interpretation: Rents nudged higher for the first time since April, even as supply climbed. The stalemate between resilient household formation and a steady flow of new multifamily deliveries kept the national DOM unchanged.

2. Region‑level story

What’s moving the needle?

• West rebound – Dense tech hubs (Denver, Seattle, SLC) posted firm rent gains despite elevated completions.

• Northeast pull‑back – Boston and New York softened as student leasing slowed earlier than usual.

• Sunbelt steadies – Florida remained a tale of two coasts: Miami up, Tampa still sliding, but overall Southern rents ticked higher.
