Rentals are in demands now more than ever.
Those that are priced out, waiting and timing the market gotta continue to live and rent in the meantime. Millennial will / is a huge driving force behind the rentals.

Rental market softening? Equity Residential is a publicly trade reit.
The other part of the article I forgot to mention. It looks like the Huge Reits are unloading properties.
?Cushman & Wakefield brokers Douglas Harmon and Adam Spies are representing Equity Residential and declined to comment. The sales team has also been hired by rival landlord AvalonBay Communities Inc., which is marketing a 50 percent stake in seven of its Manhattan properties, including one each in the West Side neighborhoods of Chelsea and Morningside Heights.?

Another article about high supply of rentals.
?Apartment landlords in Manhattan are contending with a flood of new supply that has limited their ability to raise rents. They?re cutting asking prices and granting tenants more breaks such as rent-free months as they struggle to keep their buildings full.
Bloomberg Intelligence: AvalonBay Tapping Investor Interest in NYC Assets
AvalonBay shares fell 0.7 percent Monday, closing at $167.58. They have fallen 6.1 percent this year.
The company, one of the biggest publicly traded U.S. apartment landlords, said the New York market was one of its weakest performers in the first quarter. Supply in the area ?is expected to peak late this year and then fall off considerably in 2019,? Chief Operating Officer Sean Breslin said on the company?s earnings call in April.?
