The US economy is set to slow this year as elevated inflation and higher interest rates squeeze spending. Nevertheless, at the all-property level, we expect rental growth of around 3% y/y and NOI yields to see another large fall, driving double-digit total returns.

We also expect another year of outperformance for the cheaper Sunbelt markets.
