What to watch on the call

Carried forward from the last transcript

Risks management flagged

  • Higher Treasury rates could pressure transaction volumes and cap rates; swaps and term-loan exposure may increase interest expense.
  • California rent-cap limits and possible ballot initiatives could affect operations and housing policy.
  • Broader economic and labor-market uncertainty, supply increases, and weaker regional demand could slow rent growth.

Questions analysts left open

  • The trajectory of new-lease growth and whether it can accelerate in 2027.
  • Los Angeles demand and rent-growth outlook, alongside Seattle’s Eastside-versus-CBD split.
  • Higher interest expense from swaps and term-loan exposure, plus next year’s supply outlook.
