Baltimore Sees Leasing Surge Amid Slower Construction
Harbor Stone Advisors reports a steady rise in leasing activity across Baltimore City in Q2 2025, despite a cooling in new development. Vacancy dropped to 5.1%, and Class B properties led absorption. Investor interest is growing, especially in stabilized assets near Johns Hopkins and the Inner Harbor. The report suggests room for rent growth and repositioning.
🧾 Rule of the Day
Rent Capture Ratio (RCR)
Rent Capture Ratio (RCR) measures how much of the area’s median income a property captures through rent.
Formula: RCR = (Annual Rent per Unit ÷ Median Household Income) × 100
A lower RCR (below 30%) means more affordability. Higher ratios may signal luxury positioning—or potential overpricing. This metric is key when balancing yield with tenant retention.
