The issues in CRE are just getting started and if you're in areas where there was a lot of speculation, Sunbelt, Southeast, PHX etc. there is more downward pressure on prices.

@Andrew Gavre there will continue to be upward pricing pressure for insurance in coastal areas for the next 2 years, just not to the 20%-30% rate increase we have been seeing. 

But you have to weigh all the factors to gauge your odds.

However, with nearly 1 million units under construction nationwide, supply pressures persist, especially outside the Sun Belt.

But I find the pressure to do so at about the five year mark helpful.

I have kept the rent relatively low for this tenant for 7 years due to the ongoing pity story and pressure from the management.

But to your point, there is a pressure within society, as a whole, the be positive.  

Starting in Highlands neighborhood (or northside) which used to be a very rough part of town, is now the one of the top 3 most desirable are in the metro and this has slowly trickled down into neighborhoods south.I am an engineer so I love to base my decisions on data, so for example looking at census data, I like to look at % of high income earners in an area to gauge if I should invest or notFor 80204 which includes the neighborhood of Villa Park, in 2010 the % considered upper middle/high income was 4.2% of households. 2022 census says that now it is 40.5%On the other end is 80219 which includes the neighborhood Westwood which would have the lowest income area on my list, in 2010 Westwood had 4% as well, by 2022 it had 21.1% high /upper middle income earners.I have properties in both and tenant applicants are a wide variety (lower income folks on rental assistance to high income earnings wanting to rent in an area before buying a home) so its hard to put a property class in this area. 

But he was trying to pull a classic move—waiting until the last moment to pressure us into lowering our fee, thinking that we’d be desperate to close and agree to his terms.But here’s the thing: We weren’t.Instead of giving in to his renegotiation tactics, we told him no.
