The Economist's Corner: 2026 Check-In

A lot has changed since Jay Parsons joined us in January. The War in Iran has rattled energy markets and introduced new uncertainty into construction costs and investor sentiment. Tariffs — already a factor heading into 2026 — have continued to reshape the economics of development and operations. And the broader housing market continues to evolve in ways few predicted.
 
We're bringing Jay back for a mid(ish)-year check-in to take stock of what's happened, what's shifted in his outlook, and what affordable housing investors should be watching for the remainder of 2026.
 
Jay is an Economics Advisor to JPI and an Investment Strategy Advisor to Madera Residential. Previously Chief Economist at RealPage, he has been cited in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, The Economist, and The New York Times, and has appeared on CNBC and Bloomberg TV. His LinkedIn feed is a must-follow for real estate professionals, and he hosts The Rent Roll podcast.
 
Bring your questions — this is your chance to pressure-test your assumptions with one of the housing industry's most quoted economists.
