    #202: 2026 Mid-Year Real Estate Data (Q2 2026)

    In this podcast episode of Calibrate: a Real Estate Podcast, Kyle Malnati invited Scott Ratthbun back for a 3rd episode but this time as a keynote speaker before a live audience at a Mastermind Event for top Real Estate Agents in Colorado. Scott Rathbun is the President and Owner of Apartment Appraisers and Consultants (AA&C) . He discusses the current state of the housing market (both for sale and multifamily rentals) in the Denver Metro Area. This episode provides valuable insights and data-driven analysis for real estate professionals and decision-makers in the Denver Metro Area, as they navigate the current market conditions and plan for the future. Here are key takeaways: Vacancy decreased 115 basis points (bps), from 7.47% last quarter to 6.32%, down 7 bps YoY. Overall vacancy (including properties in lease-up) decreased 147 bps during the quarter to 9.46% and down 142 bps YoY. Absorption of conventional apartments increased from 2,783 units in 1Q 2026 to 6,760 units in 2Q 2026. The T12 absorption increased to 14,220 units, the highest T12 figure in the 22-year history of our survey. The demand for apartments remains high due to the increasing unaffordability of homeownership, leading to a delay in the transition from renting to owning.  The apartment market has been overbuilt in year's past, resulting in rising vacancy rates and the need for landlords to offer significant concessions to attract tenants. These concessions are showing to be improving absorption and vacancy rates, but concessions still remain high.  Check out our last episode with Scott HERE: http://bit.ly/4pJhYqS

    #201: Denver Rental Market Insights 2026, With Scott Rathbun

    Calibrate Real Estate Podcast #201 In this episode of the Calibrate Real Estate Podcast, host Kyle Malnati sits down with Scott Rathbun, the President and Owner of Apartment Appraisers and Consultants (AANC), to discuss the current state of the apartment market in the Denver Metro Area. This episode provides valuable insights and data-driven analysis for real estate professionals and decision-makers in the Denver Metro Area, as they navigate the current market conditions and plan for the future. Here are key takeaways: The Denver Metro Area is experiencing a slowdown in population growth and employment, which are typically the key drivers of housing demand. The demand for apartments remains high due to the increasing unaffordability of homeownership, leading to a delay in the transition from renting to owning. The apartment market has been overbuilt, resulting in rising vacancy rates and the need for landlords to offer significant concessions to attract tenants. The decline in rents is impacting the affordable housing market, as market-rate rents are now competing with subsidized affordable units. The development pipeline is shrinking, which could lead to a future shortage of new apartment supply and a potential resurgence in rent growth. Investors and developers should closely monitor the market trends and be prepared to adjust their strategies accordingly. Renters may have more negotiating power in the short term, but the long-term outlook suggests the potential for a tightening market and rising rents. Policymakers and affordable housing advocates should consider ways to incentivize the development of affordable units to mitigate the impact of the market-rate rent competition.

    #200: Final Offer: Win-Win For Sellers, Buyers, and Brokers

    In this episode, Kyle Malnati interviews Jocelyn Vas, the Chief Knowledge Officer of a real estate technology company called Final Offer. Vas explains how Final Offer is disrupting the traditional home buying and selling process by providing real-time alerts whenever an offer is made on a property. This brings much-needed transparency that has been lacking in the industry, allowing both agents and consumers to have the same information at the same time.  Vas emphasizes that Final Offer is not meant to replace real estate agents, but rather empower them with better data and tools to serve their clients more effectively. She shares how the company's founder, who is also an agent, created Final Offer out of frustration with buyers missing out on properties and sellers potentially leaving money on the table due to a lack of visibility into the offer process. Voss believes embracing innovative technologies like this is crucial for agents to survive and thrive in the evolving real estate landscape.
