#StonewegUSMarketMinute with Ryan Smyth: The ongoing ILA strike at East Coast ports is more than just a labor dispute - it’s a warning signal for industries grappling with the growing role of automation and artificial intelligence. As multifamily investors, we must watch closely as these disruptions could erode consumer purchasing power, which may in turn delay the rent growth rebound expected in 2025.   We understand that shifts in the economy will have ripple effects on the multifamily market. As these disruptions persist, consumer purchasing power may weaken, impacting rent growth timelines. However, we recognize the importance of adapting to technological advancements while continuing to deliver value for our residents and investors.   The labor market and the technology transforming it will have a lasting influence on market dynamics. As we look ahead, the real estate sector will need to adapt to these changes and account for potential volatility in economic conditions driven by automation.
