Nick Yulico's questions to Camden Property Trust (CPT) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
An analyst on behalf of Nick Yulico sought clarification on the projection for new lease rates turning positive in Q3, asking if rates are expected to continue improving sequentially into Q4 or revert to a normal seasonal pattern.
Answer
President and CFO Alexander Jessett confirmed that the company's budget assumes a return to normal seasonality. This implies that after turning positive in the third quarter, new lease rates would likely experience a seasonal softening in the fourth quarter, which is historically the weakest period for pricing power.
