Construction costs are outpac- ing incomes, and we expect city and suburban rents will be forced to level or drop in the next two years. This, in turn, will slow the construction of new product. While Philadel- phia rents have lagged those of New York and Washington, DC historically, those cities are also seeing downward pressures on rents due to lagging income and affordability indexes, so we expect a slowing of new product except in the best sub-market locations within each region. In all, and barring extreme government policies affecting the real estate markets and income, we see the regional real estate markets continuing to grow at or above the levels of inflation, with a proportionate dispersion occurring between the city and the surrounding suburbs in class of real estate.
