4 reasons renters are choosing to stay in place

This story was originally published on Multifamily Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Multifamily Dive newsletter. Apartment REIT earnings season kicked off with the news that Equity Residential, a company that went public more than 30 years ago, posted its lowest turnover rate ever in the first quarter of this year. The Chicago-based firm's 7.9% turnover rate proved to be a harbinger of strong retention results throughout the industry. Palo Alto, California-based Essex Property Trust saw what CEO Angela Kleiman said was 'a notably low turnover rate of 35%, while achieving positive new lease rate growth and stable occupancy levels.' Memphis-based REIT MAA reported improving turnover at 41.5% in Q1. Two years ago, that rate sat at 46%. Houston-based Camden Property Trust also saw retention near historical highs. 'Turnover rates across our portfolio remained very low, and our first quarter 2025 annualized net turnover rate of 31% was one of the lowest in our company's history,' Camden Executive Vice Chairman of the Board Keith Oden said on the REIT's earnings call last month. But it's not just public firms noticing turnover fall. Private companies are experiencing it as well. 'We've seen retention and renewal rates that have been higher than normal,' said Chris Finlay, CEO of Middleburg Communities, a Tysons Corner, Virginia-based owner, manager and developer. While some apartment operators are seeing surprisingly high retention rates when large numbers of new units are available, there isn't one uniform reason for the trend. Here are four trends executives say are helping keep residents' heads in beds. Many residents are staying in place because buying a home has become unaffordable. In April, Redfin published a report saying Americans must earn $116,633 annually to afford the median-priced home for sale. In comparison, they needed more than the $64,160 to afford the typical apartment for rent. That's an 81.8% difference. The typical U.S. household earns $86,382. The median home-sale price has been growing at roughly 4.5% year over year for months, and the average 30-year-fixed mortgage rate is around 6.5%, according to Redfin. However, the median asking rent rose just 0.2% YOY to $1,604 in February, making leasing an attractive option. 'It has become increasingly challenging for American renters to make the shift to homeownership thanks to the triple whammy of rising home prices, high mortgage rates and a shortage of houses for sale,' said Redfin Senior Economist Elijah de la Campa in the report. The relative affordability of renting is helping to drive retention. Camden saw move-outs for home purchases at 10.4% in Q1, which is low for the REIT. 'The premium to own versus rent continues to be at historically high levels, making apartment homes more affordable,' CEO Ric Campo said on the firm's Q1 earnings call. The high cost of single-family homeownership isn't the only thing keeping residents in their apartments. AvalonBay has seen homeownership pull 8% to 9% of renters out of its apartments over the last several quarters, which is low for the REIT. 'But the overall level of turnover has continued to come down,' chief operating officer Sean Breslin said on the REIT's earnings call last month. 'So I would think of it as the move-out piece on the home side being relatively stable.' With concerns about the economy, inflation and the potential effects of the Trump administration's tariffs, some residents might feel safer staying in place rather than moving out. 'With some of the increased uncertainty in the economy, people just tend to stay put where they are,' said Tim Argo, chief strategy and analysis officer at MAA, on the REIT's Q1 earnings call. 'I think that's helping to benefit our turnover, and people are just a little more hesitant to make big life decisions.' Camden's Oden also wondered if economic uncertainty had led residents to decide to renew their leases and reconsider moving 'somewhere down the road' when the picture is clearer. Others see similar patterns. 'When things are uncertain, people just hunker down right there,' Finlay said. 'They're not looking to upgrade or to go buy a house.' The uncertain economic climate also played a role in EQR's resident retention, and that could continue into future quarters. 'When there's ambiguity, people tend to bunker down,' EQR Chief Operating Officer Michael Manelis said on the firm's Q1 earnings call last month. In some cases, firms prioritized occupancy going into the year, which helped lead to strong retention. One of those companies was UDR, which posted a 97.2% occupancy rate, 0.2% higher than its 2024 Q1 average and 40 basis points above Q4 2024. 'This strategic decision to build occupancy during the seasonally slower leasing period helped to drive revenue and NOI outperformance to start the year, and positions us well as we enter our traditional leasing season,' Chief Operating Officer Mike Lacy said on UDR's Q1 earnings call earlier this month. While UDR's occupancy beat JPMorganChase's 96.7% estimate, its blended lease spreads of 0.9% fell below the global financial services firm's 1.3% projection, showing that it may have been giving up rent growth to lower turnover. 'The better top-line performance was mainly driven by better occupancy, perhaps at a small cost to spreads,' said Anthony Paolone, executive director at JPMorgan, in a research note shared with Multifamily Dive. REITs can often adjust rents or offer incentives to maintain occupancy in the winter and readjust to drive rents in the spring, but smaller private operators may be in more of a survival mode by keeping residents in place. 'Keeping someone is cheaper than bringing someone in off the street,' said Taylor Verhaalen, president of Las Vegas-based operator Stout Management. 'So they may tell you retention is up, which I think it is, but they're using tools that maybe they chose not to previously, like renewal concessions or bonuses to get people to stay.' Economic uncertainty can keep residents in place. But it can also make operators more likely to keep good renters in their apartments. 'There is stress on the tenant these days,' Verhaalen said. 'So, someone in your building who has paid rent on time, or at least paid it over the last lease term, that's a true value. With someone coming off the street, you never know.' Apartment firms, with REITs leading the way, have spent millions adopting sophisticated centralization systems that measure and improve the resident experience. On his firm's Q1 earnings call in late April, Manelis said renewals continued a previous trend and 'supported the strength of our centralized renewal process and intense focus on delivering our residents a quality experience.' Other firms see similar drivers. Tom Toomey, CEO of UDR, often lauded as a trailblazer in centralization, credited the firm's customer experience project with helping reduce resident turnover, which fell 300 basis points year over year. The REIT has made investments in how it measures, maps and orchestrates the customer experience. 'We have an ability to orchestrate and enhance UDR's living experience through more than 1 million daily touch points with our existing and prospective residents, which helps improve the retention and lower costs to drive margin expansion and cash flow growth,' Toomey said on the firm's Q1 earnings call last month. 'To enable this, we have equipped our associates with actionable data and more responsibilities.' REIT executives credit an overall emphasis on customer service beyond mere technology as a retention driver. 'Our focus on customer service is paying off as reflected in our sector-leading Google scores, contributing to our growing retention rates,' MAA's CEO Brad Hill said on the REIT's earnings call last month.

Minnesota Wild re-sign veteran Marcus Johansson to 1-year, $800,000 contract to avoid free agency

The Minnesota Wild re-signed right wing Marcus Johansson on Monday to a one-year, $800,000 contract that keeps the 15-year veteran from becoming a free agent. Johansson had 11 goals and 23 assists in 72 games for the Wild during the 2024-25 regular season, bouncing between the second and third lines. He was sixth on the team in points. The 34-year-old, who was acquired by the Wild from Washington a few days before the NHL trade deadline in 2023, played the 2024-25 season on a $2 million salary cap charge. Johansson had four goals and four assists in nine games for Sweden last month at the ice hockey world championships to help his native country's team win the bronze medal. He has 185 goals and 332 assists over 983 career regular-season games with seven teams in the NHL.

8 Hours With Nintendo's Switch 2: It's the Sequel Handheld We Wanted

Nintendo's Switch 2 is a better handheld than the original Switch in both overt and subtle ways. The sticks aren't full-sized, but they tilt with just the right amount of force. The plastic has a subtle grainy texture that feels luxurious on my open palms. It's nearly as light and exactly as thin as the device from eight years ago, but it is much more powerful. Nintendo is desperate to prove its new design is worth the $450 asking price, but the real appeal for this console will lie beyond specs when it launches on June 5. You can't comprehend the appeal of the Switch 2 until you have it in hand. Gizmodo Senior Editor of Consumer Tech Raymond Wong and I spent close to eight hours with Nintendo's Switch 2, with the vast majority of that time spent playing Mario Kart World. We also tested out the system's new GameChat feature for online play, local co-op with camera functionality, and the new Welcome Tour 'game.' Both Gizmodo and io9 already shared their impressions of the Joy-Con 2 mouse controls along with several launch and soon-to-launch Switch 2 games. The mouse controls are still a highlight. They're very responsive, and the individual Joy-Con 2 feels comfortable enough in the hand. The optical mouse system works equally well on a flat counter or your pants' legs. See Nintendo Switch 2 at Walmart In my time playing around with the Switch 2, I started to feel like a beaver sliding comfortably into the same den I dug for the original Switch. You can take that statement two different ways. The Switch 2 isn't chock-full of original ideas save for a few select features—namely GameChat, mouse controls, and GameShare. Many of those new features simply enhance the best aspects of the original Switch. The Switch 2 is still the best console for having fun with friends. Nintendo has a problem communicating what's different with its hardware this time around. The Japanese console maker's devices aren't normally made for people who understand the distinction between 60Hz or 120Hz refresh rates or VRR, which is short for variable refresh rate. (If you're curious, refresh rates refer to how many times a screen displays a new image per second, and variable refresh rate is a feature that allows a screen to support a wider range of frame rates, which cuts down on flickering). That lack of specs clarity is why Nintendo made Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. The game is an interactive instruction manual for the Switch 2 packed with minigames meant to showcase the hardware's improvements. Your tiny player character is plopped down on top of a literal Switch 2 handheld, like you're a tourist visiting a monument to Nintendo's grand vision. There are several islands sectioned off for the left and right Joy-Con 2, the main screen, and the dock, each containing their own minigames and quizzes. The maps include help guides and trivia to teach the layperson what certain Switch 2 tech jargon means and how the hardware works. Some of the minigames are as granular as a quiz where you try to identify the difference between a scene running between 20 fps and 120 fps. Another offers a perspective of what 4K resolution looks like compared to the size of Super Mario Bros. on the NES—a mere 256 x 240 pixels. Nintendo simplifies these terms and makes them comprehensible. The game is one of the better ways to come to terms with many of these technological terms. I think Nintendo made a big mistake not packaging Welcome Tour with the console. Instead, you have to pay $10 for it separately. Save for GameChat and mouse controls, the Switch 2 is a sequel console in every sense of the phrase. Mario Kart World may be a pretty game with some evocative animations for every powerslide and head-on collision with an incoming truck, but it's not the type of game to express the console's overt power. All that's left is specs. The Joy-Con 2 controllers are now big enough to fit adult-sized hands. The 1080p screen is brighter and more colorful than before, and we can't overstate the benefit of 4K support, especially as the screen resolution has become far more ubiquitous since 2017. That stuff matters, but Nintendo has the difficult task of ensuring everyone knows that matters. Consider how the original Switch lasted eight years. Even at release, it was an underpowered console. As of May, Nintendo sold 152.12 million original Switch units, closest to its top-selling device ever, the Nintendo DS. Since it had been around so long, it seemed like everybody had an original Switch. It was so ubiquitous I could visit any friend's house and expect they'd at least have two Joy-Cons and a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to play around with. Nintendo's original Switch has been around for eight years and still costs $300. The new Switch 2 is still largely untested and costs $150 more. What we still have yet to test is the new GameShare features. In some supported games, GameShare should let one Switch 2 share it for play with both original Switch and Switch 2 owners, even if they don't own that title. GameShare will only support a limited number of titles at launch, but it's a big reason why you should want to keep your eight-year-old console handy. The bigger Joy-Con 2s still support a similarly thin body that made the original so easy to schlep to a friend's house. Together, the features speak to Nintendo's real strength—its focus on playing with friends. After my limited time with it, I already feel that the Switch 2 does everything the original Switch did, but better. It's larger and more comfortable with improved controls. It's more capable of playing demanding games—though we'll need to test out those titles for ourselves to know the true scope of the Switch 2's potential. But as I played Mario Kart World with four-player co-op—even on a single Joy-Con 2 and even when the frame rate took a major hit from running in four-player splitscreen—I was catapulted back into the same sense of joy I have playing Mario Kart 8 or Super Smash Bros. with friends on the couch. New features like having a live view camera in multiplayer can enhance that feeling of community, and perhaps more games can incorporate mouse controls into multiplayer. The Switch shines as the communal console, and when gaming is getting more expensive, we just hope Nintendo can remember where its handheld console truly shines. See Nintendo Switch 2 at Walmart
