IMN SFR Industry Award Recipient
2023 Data Provider of the Year
In order to be the top research and consulting firm in the industry, we often need to figure out how to collect the data necessary for building indices and conducting thorough analysis. More than 10 years ago, when we entered the business, there was no comprehensive data on SFR/BTR. As a result, we had to collect the data ourselves to provide the analysis our clients expect from us. We continue to work alongside our clients and partners to further improve the data, enabling our clients to make even better decisions.
What our clients say about us
John Burns is our primary resource for up-to-date industry trends and has proven their unique value as a trusted partner in evaluating growth opportunities. When we started looking to expand our geographic footprint, there was no question who we would engage with. Working with John and his team was a great decision for our company.
Our first step on researching new BTR projects is to check John Burns market reports. It is the “level-set” we need to assess whether or not the project is aspirational or grounded in real-time metrics.
Featured Insights
- Insight
- Build-to-Rent
BTR rent growth across product types has moderated from peaks in 2021. Signs of growth are returning.
- Insight
- Build-to-Rent
Living in a build-to-rent (BTR) community usually costs more than renting a scattered single-family home (SFR) or garden-style apartment. But there’s no set premium to add when underwriting new BTR projects.
