Market conditions in Hope are tepid. Days-on-market has stretched, rent growth has stalled, and the 0.0% 5-year CAGR understates how uneven the underlying ZIPs really are.

Hope's population trends and income levels suggest a market where affordability is strained, which constrains how aggressively rents can rise without hurting collections.
