• In the face of global economic uncertainty, Airbnb’s apartment rental program is seeing a boost in demand.
• “In recent months, the real estate market has seen a surge in demand for rental properties as many people continue to delay their home-buying decisions, mainly due to decreased affordability related to mortgage interest rate increases,” Drew Coleman, founder of Oregon-based Opt Real Estate, told FOX Business.
• It’s creating a unique opportunity for renters and hosts to take advantage of Airbnb-friendly apartments to help weather the economy, especially the housing market, according to Coleman and Jesse Stein, the Airbnb global head of real estate.
