Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Thanks, Kim. Good morning. The theme of our on-hold music this quarter is It is Time to Transfer On. The late nice Tom Petty captured the present sentiment of Crew Camden on this verse: It is time to transfer on.

It is time to get going. What lies forward, I’ve no method of realizing. However beneath my toes, child, grass is rising. It is time to transfer on.

It is time to get going. After just a few years ready considerably impatiently for higher funding alternatives in our markets, we imagine 2025 is the 12 months for Camden to maneuver on. In 2024, we noticed multifamily deliveries attain a peak stage not seen in over 40 years. We anticipate new provide strain to minimize all through 2025, setting the stage for a return to improved income and internet working revenue progress.

Because the headwinds lately flip into tailwinds in 2025 and past, there are enticing alternatives for us to proceed growth begins and to pursue acquisitions. The constructive market backdrop positions Camden to be executing our 2025 strategic plan. The plan follows the same playbook that we executed after the good monetary disaster, the place we acquired 2.7 billion in flats with a median age of 4 years, developed 4.2 billion of flats and bought 3.8 billion of flats with a median age of 24 years. Recycling capital on this method retains our portfolio aggressive, decrease its capital bills, and accelerates our return on invested capital, driving long-term core FFO progress.

It is time to transfer on. It is time to get going. I wish to give an enormous shout-out to crew Camden for his or her excellent efficiency in 2024, exceeding our working budgets by a large margin regardless of file provide. Crew Camden works sensible, implementing new applied sciences that proceed to enhance buyer experiences and scale back prices.

Occupancy and rents in most Sunbelt markets have possible bottomed. Resident retention and buyer sentiment stays excessive. The premium to personal versus lease continues to be at historic ranges, making condo houses a extra inexpensive and enticing possibility for shoppers. Wage progress has outpaced lease progress for the previous couple of years, strengthening our resident’s monetary prospects and enhancing rent-to-income ratios.

Inhabitants progress to our Sunbelt markets continues to outpace the nation. Texas and Florida added over one million new residents in 2024, which was practically one-third of the nation’s inhabitants progress. Every new household wanted a spot to name dwelling. Texas and Florida are projected once more to guide the nation’s inhabitants progress over the following 5 years.

The state during which Camden operates captured 58.3% of the U.S. inhabitants progress. This long-term megatrend continues to provide outsized housing demand in our markets. We all know it is time to get going, however we’ll not transfer on from Camden’s why, which as a lot of you realize, is to enhance the lives of our teammates, our prospects, and our stakeholders one expertise at a time.

Keith Oden is up subsequent.

D. Keith Oden — Government Vice Chairman

Thanks, Ric. Camden’s same-property income progress was 1.3% in 2024 with most of our markets attaining outcomes inside 100 foundation factors of their authentic budgets. San Diego, Inland Empire, and Washington, D.C. Metro, each outperformed our expectations, whereas Austin and Nashville got here in barely under price range.

For 2025, we anticipate similar property income progress of 1% throughout the majority of our markets falling between zero and a couple of%. Our prime 5 markets ought to see income progress within the vary of two% to 2.5%, and these markets account for over 40% of our budgeted income. A number of of those markets had been prime performers final 12 months, together with Southern California, Washington, D.C. Metro, and Houston, and we anticipate Tampa to hitch them as one among our prime markets this 12 months.

Our subsequent eight markets are budgeted for income progress between zero and 1%, they usually comprise over half of our 2025 budgeted income. These markets embrace Denver, Atlanta, Phoenix, Raleigh, Orlando, Southeast Florida, Dallas, and Charlotte. In our final two markets, Nashville and Austin, which signify 6% of Camden’s revenues, these markets had been down roughly 3% on revenues final 12 months and are anticipated to stay challenged this 12 months given the continued ranges of latest provide coming on-line. We anticipate them to say no one other 0% to three% this 12 months, however we’re cautiously optimistic that they may finish 2025 in a greater place than the place they began.

As a lot of you realize, we’ve a convention of assigning letter grades to forecast circumstances in our markets originally of every 12 months and rating our markets so as of their anticipated efficiency throughout 2025. We at present grade our general portfolio as a B with a steady outlook, barely higher than our B score with a moderating outlook final 12 months. Our full report card is included as a part of our earnings name slide deck, which is included into this webcast and obtainable on our web site. The general financial system stays wholesome, and we anticipate our Sunbelt-focused market footprint will enable us to outperform the U.S.

outlook. We anticipate to see continued in-migration into our markets and powerful demand for condo houses given the relative unaffordability of shopping for a single-family dwelling. We reviewed provide forecasts from a number of third-party information suppliers, and their projections vary from 160,000 to 230,000 completions throughout our 15 markets over the course of 2025, in contrast with 230 to 280 flats delivered in 2024. Regardless of the wide selection of estimates, the unanimous conclusion from every agency was that offer in our markets peaked throughout 2024 and shall be declining as we transfer via 2025, organising 2026 to be a below-average 12 months for brand new provide.

As a reminder, these provide estimates are totals for every of the MSAs, and never all of this new product shall be aggressive with our present portfolio given varied submarket places and value factors. As I discussed earlier, we anticipate income progress within the vary of two% to 2.5% for our prime 5 markets. 4 of Camden’s markets acquired a grade of A- with various outlooks of enhancing, steady, or moderating. Tampa earns an A- with an enhancing outlook, and it needs to be one among our greatest performers this 12 months given sturdy occupancy ranges, manageable provide, and a lift in demand that we noticed in the course of the fourth quarter of ’24.

Our Southern California markets could be subsequent with each L.A., Orange County and San Diego Inland Empire are anticipated to complete within the prime three once more as they did in 2024. Their progress charges are anticipated to sluggish a bit throughout 2025, given barely increased ranges of provide, and fewer of a tailwind from unhealthy debt declining, thus they acquired steady to moderating outlooks. Washington, D.C. Metro would additionally rank as an A- with a moderating outlook.

Provide stays in test, significantly in our submarkets in Northern Virginia and Maryland, and we anticipate income progress to be barely under the three.7% achieved final 12 months. Houston rounds out the highest 5 with a B+ score and a steady outlook. Houston ranked No. 5 for income progress in 2024, and this 12 months ought to see extra with restricted provide and wholesome demand.

Most of our eight markets acquired a B grade with one B+ and two B- scores, and we’re budgeting income progress of zero to 1% in all eight. We charge Denver as a B+ with a moderating outlook and anticipate the income progress to be nearer to 1% this 12 months versus 1.6% final 12 months, given moderating provide coupled with moderating job progress. Atlanta ranks as a B performer with an enhancing outlook primarily as a result of progress we have made in decreasing unhealthy debt and fraudulent exercise. Phoenix and Raleigh are subsequent, built-in B with steady outlooks.

Adopted by Orlando in Southeast Florida with Bs, however moderating outlooks. Phoenix, Raleigh, and Orlando ought to all see slight declines in provide over the course of 2025, however pricing energy in these markets will possible be restricted for many of this 12 months. Southeast Florida was one among our prime performers in 2024, and we anticipate to see moderation from the above-average occupancy ranges we achieved there final 12 months. Dallas earns a B- with a steady outlook once more this 12 months, with minimal income progress anticipated in 2025.

Whereas Dallas nonetheless ranks as one of many nation’s prime metros for job progress and migration and high quality of life. The market remains to be working via a lot of the brand new provide that was delivered over the previous 12 months. And Charlotte is rated B- with a moderating outlook. The mixture stage of latest provide coming on-line within the Charlotte MSA remains to be elevated this 12 months, and we anticipate our major competitors will proceed to fall within the uptown South Finish submarket.

And eventually, Nashville and Austin acquired the identical grades as final 12 months with C and C-, respectively. Each markets posted damaging income progress in 2024 and can possible repeat that in 2025 as new provide continues to pose a problem. Our outlook for Nashville is enhancing, significantly outdoors of the downtown CBD space, whereas Austin’s outlook is steady. Now, just a few particulars on our fourth quarter 2024 working outcomes.

Rental charges for the fourth quarter had signed new leases down 4.7% and renewals up 3.2% for a blended charge of damaging 1.2%. Renewal presents for February via April had been despatched out at a median improve of 4%. And as anticipated, move-outs to buy houses remained very low at 9.6% for each the fourth quarter ’24 and the complete 12 months of 2024. I will now flip the decision over to Alex Jessett, Camden’s president and chief monetary officer.

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

Thanks, Keith. Earlier than I transfer on to our monetary outcomes and steerage, a short replace on our current actual property actions. Throughout the fourth quarter of 2024, we accomplished building on Camden Durham, a 420-unit $145 million group positioned within the Raleigh-Durham market of North Carolina, which is now virtually 80% leased. In Camden Lengthy Meadow Farms, a 188-unit $72 million single-family rental group positioned in suburban Houston, which is now virtually 55% leased.

Moreover, we continued leasing at Camden Wooden Mill Creek, a 189-unit $72 million single-family rental group additionally positioned in suburban Houston. Subsequent to quarter-end, we acquired for about $68 million Camden Leander, a newly constructed 352-unit suburban Austin group, which is at present 85% occupied. This group was bought at a stabilized yield of 5%. Turning to monetary outcomes.

Final evening, we reported core funds from operations for the fourth quarter of 2024 of $190.4 million or $1.73 per share, $0.03 forward of the midpoint of our prior quarterly steerage. This outperformance resulted from $0.005 in increased different revenue and $0.025 in decrease working bills, pushed completely by lower-than-anticipated core property insurance coverage claims and decrease closing tax valuations. For 2024, we delivered same-store income progress of 1.3%, expense progress of 1.8%, and NOI progress of 1.1%. Our 1.8% full-year expense progress was pushed primarily by declines of 0.2% and 16.9% on property taxes and insurance coverage, respectively.

You possibly can discuss with Web page 24 of our fourth-quarter supplemental package deal for particulars on the important thing assumptions driving our 2025 monetary outlook. One of many key drivers of this 12 months’s steerage is an uptick in acquisition and tendencies with a midpoint of $750 million anticipated for every. Working a geographically diversified portfolio helps guarantee constant money movement for our buyers. Over the following few years, according to previous messaging, we’ll search larger market stability by decreasing our publicity to our two largest markets, D.C.

Metro and Houston, via a mix of choose tendencies and progress in our different present markets, with a goal of nobody market representing greater than 10% of our internet working revenue and no market representing lower than 4% of our internet working revenue by the tip of 2027. Moreover, we’ll get rid of older, extra capital-intensive belongings and redeploy the proceeds into newer, faster-growing communities. As we execute this plan, relying upon the situation and age of the disposed communities, there could also be zero to 100 foundation factors damaging FFO yield differential for these matching transactions, whereas we anticipate AFFO yields to be comparatively flat. The tip consequence shall be a extra geographically various, newer, and faster-growing portfolio.

We anticipate our 2025 core FFO per share to be within the vary of $6.60 to $6.90, with the midpoint of $6.75, representing a $0.10 per share lower from our 2024 outcomes. This lower is anticipated to consequence primarily from an approximate $0.06 per share improve in core FFO associated to the expansion in working revenue from our growth non-same-store and retail communities, ensuing primarily from the incremental contribution from our 5 growth communities in lease-up throughout 2024 and/or 2025. A $0.01 per share internet improve from the timing of our assumed $750 million of offsetting acquisitions and tendencies. For tax effectivity functions and to facilitate reverse 1031 exchanges, we’re anticipating finishing the acquisitions on common two months earlier than they’re matching disposition.

This $0.07 cumulative improve in anticipated core FFO per share is offset by a $0.10 per share improve curiosity expense attributable to $250 million of upper common anticipated debt balances excellent in 2025 as in comparison with 2024, and decrease ranges of capitalized curiosity as we full sure growth communities. The upper debt balances resulted partially from the timing of our place and disposition exercise. For 2025, we’re anticipating $485 million on common excellent beneath our line of credit score with a median charge of roughly 4.9%, a $0.04 per share lower in curiosity and different revenue because of minimal money balances in 2025, and an approximate $0.03 per share lower in core FFO, ensuing primarily from the mix of upper common and administrative and property administration bills. On the midpoint, we expect flat same-store internet working revenue with income progress of 1% expense progress of three%.

Every 1% improve in same-store NOI is roughly $0.09 per share in core FFO. Our 2025 same-store income progress midpoint of 1% relies upon a flat incomes on the finish of 2024 and an successfully flat loss to lease. We anticipate a 1.4% improve in market rental charges from December thirty first, 2024, to December thirty first, 2025. Recognizing half of this annual market rental charge improve ends in a budgeted 70-basis-point improve in 2025 internet market rents.

We’re assuming occupancy averages 95.4% in 2025, a 20-basis-point annual enchancment, and that unhealthy debt common 70 foundation factors in 2025, a 10-basis-point annual enchancment. When combining our 70-basis-point improve in internet market rents, with our 20-basis-point improve in occupancy and our 10-basis-point decline in unhealthy debt, we’re budgeting 2025 rental revenue progress of 1%. Rental revenue encompasses roughly 90% of our complete rental revenues. The remaining 10% of our property revenues is primarily comprised of utility rebilling and different charges and is anticipated to develop at the same stage as our rental revenue.

Our 2025 same-store expense progress midpoint of three% doesn’t comprise any important class outliers. Web page 24 of our supplemental package deal additionally particulars different steerage assumptions, together with the plan for as much as $675 million of growth begins unfold all year long and roughly $285 million of complete 2025 growth spend. Noncore FFO changes for the 12 months are anticipated to be roughly $0.10 per share and are primarily authorized bills and expense transaction pursuit prices. We anticipate core FFO per share for the primary quarter of 2025 to be throughout the vary of $1.66 to $1.70.

The midpoint of $1.68 represents a $0.05 per share lower from the fourth quarter of 2024, which is primarily the results of an approximate $0.04 per share sequential decline in same-store NOI, pushed by a rise in sequential same-store bills ensuing from the timing of quarterly tax reforms, the reset of our annual property tax accrual on January 1st of every 12 months, and different expense will increase, primarily attributable to typical seasonal tendencies, together with the timing of on-site wage will increase; and an approximate $0.015 per share improve in curiosity expense from our increased debt balances leading to half from our precise and anticipated first-quarter acquisitions. This $0.055 per share cumulative lower in quarterly sequential core FFO is partially offset by an approximate $0.005 per share improve in core FFO associated to our first- quarter acquisition exercise. We’re anticipating blended lease trade-outs for the primary quarter to be comparatively flat. At year-end, roughly 80% of our debt was fastened charge.

We had lower than $200 million excellent on our $1.2 billion credit score facility, no maturities over the following 12 months, and fewer than $250 million left to fund beneath our present growth pipeline. Our stability sheet stays sturdy with internet debt-to-EBITDA at 3.8 occasions. Presently, we’ll open the decision as much as questions.

We’ll now start the question-and-answer session. [Operator instructions] And your first query immediately will come from Jamie Feldman with Wells Fargo. Please go forward.

James Feldman — Analyst

Nice. Thanks for taking my query. So, I used to be simply hoping you could possibly present some extra colour in your mix assumption. Are you able to speak about what you are considering in a brand new and renewal lease progress all year long? And the way do you suppose it tendencies first quarter via fourth quarter?

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

Positive, completely. So, the way in which I’d take a look at it for the complete 12 months is we’re anticipating someplace between 1% to 2% on a mix. And should you take a look at new leases, new leases shall be barely damaging for the complete 12 months, and renewals will in all probability be within the excessive 3% vary. If I take a look at how that progresses all year long, clearly, we’re very optimistic about the way in which 2025 goes to unfold, particularly, with the absorption of the brand new provide now.

And so, we’re anticipating that by the point we get to the third quarter, that is the place we’ll begin to see constructive new leases. After which it is going to proceed from that time on.

James Feldman — Analyst

OK, thanks.

Operator

And your subsequent query immediately will come from Brad Heffern with RBC Capital Markets. Please go forward.

Brad Heffern — Analyst

Yeah, hello. Good morning, everybody. Are you seeing indicators proper now of the impression of provide buying and selling on the bottom? And if that’s the case, what are these traces?

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

We completely are.

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Go forward, Alex.

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

We completely are. And the biggest indicator that we’re is the brand new signed new lease enchancment all through the fourth quarter. And though we’re not going to present quarterly — excuse me — month-to-month new lease and renewal information, I’ll let you know that we’re very inspired by what we’re seeing to this point in January when it comes to signed new lease enhancements.

Operator

And your subsequent query immediately will come from Steve Sakwa with Evercore ISI. Please go forward.

Sanket Agrawal — Evercore ISI — Analyst

Hello, thanks. That is Sanket on for Steve. I had a query round transaction steerage. So, after a muted couple of years from transaction market standpoint, it looks like issues are opening up and also you’re guiding to 10 million, 15 million of acquisitions and exposures.

Are you able to assist us present extra colour on when it comes to timing, cap charge, what are the kind of consumers and vendor swimming pools you are seeing out there immediately?

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Positive. So, when you concentrate on the final couple of years, it has been a really muted gross sales transaction markets. And what’s occurred primarily is that consumers and sellers have been kind of at odds, proper? Sellers need excessive costs, and consumers do not wish to pay excessive costs. And so, that is created a standoff between consumers and sellers.

So, transaction quantity has been considerably decrease within the final couple of years. However I feel what’s occurred now’s that with charges persevering with to be increased for longer, it kind of put strain on the sellers. After which additionally on the customer aspect, you’ve a reasonably constructive view of the long run. Most notably, provide has peaked for positive and that 2025 goes to be a greater 12 months than 2024 from an accelerating progress perspective.

After which in ’26, ’27, you are going to have some fairly outsized rental will increase. So, what that is allowed consumers to do is to extend their professional forma lease progress and really feel fairly assured about that in order that they will really pay possibly the next value than they’ve thought earlier than as a result of the inflection level of constructive second derivatives on rental charges goes to occur someday throughout in 2025. So, what that is led to then is kind of a closing of the hole, if you wish to name it that, between the consumers and the sellers. And from our perspective, since we will be recycling capital, we will be shopping for.

After which as Alex identified earlier, we will be promoting to fund these acquisitions. And as we did in our final massive acquisition/growth disposition cycle, we thought — we predict that this subsequent couple of years goes to be just about prefer it was, kind of after the good monetary disaster and the place you’ve a whole lot of transactions which have to maneuver and you are going to have a whole lot of exercise. And I feel that that — it units up rather well for us to recycle capital into get extra aggressive on the acquisition aspect and the event aspect going ahead.

Operator

And your subsequent query immediately will come from Jeff Spector with Financial institution of America. Please go forward.

Jeffrey Spector — Analyst

Nice. Thanks. Ric, I will ask a follow-up to that time. I imply, post-world monetary disaster, there was a whole lot of misery.

And as of immediately, I would say we’re listening to combined issues will not be actually listening to to emphasize. What are you — I assume, what are you seeing and listening to that offers you confidence that there shall be related misery that Camden can benefit from? Thanks.

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Positive. Effectively, once you return to the monetary disaster, there was a reasonable misery, but it surely was primarily in ’08, possibly ’09 and ’10. After that, there’s actually no misery. I imply, if you concentrate on what occurred, the Fed took rate of interest to zero, and the FDIC and the Federal Reserve propped up the banks by saying they did not must mark-to-market building loans.

And so, that eradicated a whole lot of the misery that individuals thought was going to occur after the good monetary disaster. And immediately, the distinction immediately in the course of the GSE was that — on account of the GSE, leverage is over leveraging, which isn’t a part of the equation immediately. And banks have considerably decreased their industrial actual property publicity, they usually’ve additionally diversified of their industrial actual property publicity. So, banks are stronger.

Debtors are stronger. And also you’re in a scenario the place there is not any actual strain on debtors or the banks to drive individuals to promote. And that, in fact, is what creates misery. Now, there’s clearly misery within the kind of C an D a part of the market, the place you had syndicators elevating cash on-line and thru GoFundMe pages or shopping for fairly low-quality properties and leveraging them up.

And there is been some important tales about that form of misery, however not within the institutional investor high quality house. I imply, immediately, buyers are — the borrower — the sellers immediately will not be financially confused. So, I do not suppose we will get “misery” on the market. What we will get is simply higher pricing that we had in the course of the peak, proper, when cap charges had been within the threes.

Now cap charges are going to be 4 and a half to 5 and with a greater progress prospect in your professional formas going ahead so to get your IRRs up into the sevens on a leverage foundation. So, it is slightly completely different immediately. So, I do not suppose that we will have misery out there and purchase all these nice offers. Then again, when offers are good.

While you take a look at our Camden Leander transaction, it is a mission in lease-up in Austin, a really difficult market, clearly, Austin has extra provide than most. The — we’re shopping for the property at 15% under substitute price. Rents are depressed. And as soon as the availability will get labored out in Austin over the following 12 months or so, you are going to see outsized progress in Austin.

It is — once you take a look at Austin when it comes to its inhabitants progress, it is like No. 1 in America on a share foundation for inhabitants progress. So, Austin’s not — Austin goes to be nice in 2026, 2027, and 2028. So, we’re capable of purchase under substitute prices to construct there, however why construct once I can purchase it under substitute price after which be positioned within the market to, you realize, have outdoors outsized progress to drive that cap charge up into a extremely good quantity.

Operator

And your subsequent query immediately will come from Haendel St. Juste with Mizuho. Please go forward.

Haendel St. Juste — Analyst

Hey, guys. Good morning. So, hoping you’ll be able to stroll us via the quarter a bit and provides us some colour on how the portfolio carried out when it comes to new lease charge expectations. They appear to be a bit extra resilient within the fourth quarter versus your friends.

And with the steadiness of latest lease charges and enchancment you famous in January in occupancy, I take into consideration 95%, looks like you’ll be able to push charge a bit sooner this 12 months than we would have beforehand anticipated. So, possibly give us some colour on the way you suppose — what new lease charges are embedded within the first-quarter information you offered, however broadly, the sense of how a lot maybe the development or stability you are seeing right here may end up in maybe you — maybe being a bit extra aggressive on that entrance. Thanks.

D. Keith Oden — Government Vice Chairman

Yeah. So, Haendel, we did have a — you realize, our fourth quarter was really slightly bit higher than we thought it will be, and it was fairly broad throughout all of our markets. And it is not — you realize, when it comes to expectations for subsequent 12 months, I feel Alex walked via these in his commentary relating to the what the full-year steerage is and many others. I feel that the development that we’re seeing is simply stickiness round occupancy charges throughout our complete portfolio, which permits us to do, you realize — and our pricing mannequin to do what it does greatest, which is locate energy after which value accordingly.

So, I feel it is actually good working fundamentals, had an excellent fourth quarter. And as Alex talked about, it is carried over — it seems to be prefer it’s carried over into January. So, final 12 months, we had a — we began out actually sturdy in January. We had an excellent month that led into some optimism round right here and possibly different locations for what that — what that foretold for possibly the primary quarter and the complete 12 months.

It turned out that wasn’t actually the case. And we had a form of an air pocket in February of final 12 months. And we do not suppose we will see that this 12 months. I do not anticipate that.

However to this point so good. Good month in January for positive, and we anticipate that it should proceed to enhance all year long as a result of we’re — each month that goes by, we’re making — taking one other massive chunk out of the availability bubble that we have been combating and proceed to have in entrance of us. However I feel issues on the horizon, again half of 2025, seems to be to be fairly constructive for us. However I feel extra importantly, once you get previous the — ’25 is form of a transition 12 months between getting again to regular — extra regular provide/demand dynamics.

However once you look out to 2026, and what’s taking place — what’s been taking place on begins and what’s more likely to occur on completions in ’26 and ’27, I feel we’re arrange for a kind of two- or three-year runs that they will be fairly spectacular for the complete multifamily sector. I feel the place Camden is positioned in our markets, we will profit greater than most from that.

Operator

And your subsequent query immediately will come from Eric Wolfe with Citi. Please go forward.

Eric Wolfe — Analyst

Hey, thanks. It looks like primarily based in your curiosity expense steerage, you are front-loading the acquisitions. Are you able to simply discuss in regards to the rationale across the technique? And likewise, you talked about, I feel, zero to 100 bps of potential GAAP dilution from this exercise and that this transaction exercise may final via 2027. So, ought to we be constructing in our fashions, like, say, 50 bps of GAAP dilution on 750 million of transit actions for the following couple of years? Or is that kind of not what you meant by the kind of this persevering with via 2027?

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

Yeah. So, we’ll hit each elements of it. Completely. The very first thing is, is that we anticipate that we will purchase earlier than we promote.

And we’re doing that for tax effectivity functions. We’ll do these in reverse 1031 exchanges. The second half that it’s important to take a look at is what we’re for 2025 is the tendencies that we’ll first full shall be our older or extra capital-intensive belongings. And so, due to that, you are in all probability going to see a bigger unfold between FFO on the belongings we’re shopping for and FFO on the belongings we’re promoting.

I feel it is vital to notice that on an AFFO foundation, that unfold shall be very tight. However on an FFO foundation, it should be slightly bit wider, name it, across the 100-basis-point vary for what we will take a look at for 2035. If you concentrate on what occurs as we go all through ’26 and ’27, finishing our plan, we will get to a degree in time the place we will be buying and selling very comparable belongings however simply not within the geography the place we wish them. So, for example, we have talked fairly a bit about how we’ll decrease our publicity in D.C., we’ll decrease our publicity in Houston.

If we will promote a group in D.C. in ’26 and in ’27, I feel possible that it is going to be a selected group that may in all probability commerce at a reasonably good cap charge, and we’ll be buying and selling that for a group in name it, Nashville or name it Austin, they will even be buying and selling at a comparable cap charge. So, I do not suppose it is truthful to take the dilution that you simply’re seeing in ’25 and extrapolate that into ’26 and ’27.

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Sure. The opposite factor I’d add to that is that should you take a look at the final time we did this, the place we did 2.7 billion of acquisitions and three.8 million of tendencies. At the moment, we had been budgeting over 100 foundation level damaging unfold turned out to be flat. And so, as soon as the market begins getting a tuned to increased income progress and better NOI progress, these cap charges are going to compress, and older property cap charges are going to converge to newer property cap charges.

After which a part of the problem is — is that should you take a look at the — or a part of the dilution difficulty shouldn’t be that it is everlasting dilution due to the unfold. However once you take a look at the Camden Leander transaction, it was 84% occupied. It isn’t completed, proper? It isn’t completed leasing or stabilized. So, you are going to have extra dilution after we’re shopping for properties that aren’t essentially absolutely leased up but.

And so, that is a part of that equation. However I anticipate that the transaction market via the center of the 12 months will begin gaining steam, which implies that you will have the $300 billion, $400 billion of capital that is nonetheless ready within the wings getting into the market. So, cap charges, I feel, are going to be tighter, and the spreads shall be tighter towards the again half of the 12 months. However we will — we’ve budgeted this 100 foundation factors, however I am positive we’ll do higher.

Nice, thanks. And good morning, everybody. So, maintaining the dialog going in your portfolio administration goals. And, Alex, you hit on this along with your feedback about promoting down some D.C.

and Houston, which you guys have talked about. I assume what’s form of the proper publicity for these prime markets? Are there any new markets that you could possibly enter with this strategic plan? After which I assume simply given the constructive outlook for fundamentals within the subsequent few years, what would it not take so that you can lean into your stability sheet capability as an alternative of form of the tax-efficient pair commerce technique? Thanks.

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

Yeah. So, what I stated on the decision is that by the tip of ’27, we don’t wish to have anybody market that is over 10% of NOI. And so, if you concentrate on it, there’s solely two markets that we’ve immediately which might be over that, which is D.C. Metro and Houston.

So, that is the place we’ll be bringing that down. Moreover, it simply would not make a ton of sense to us to have a market that has lower than 4% of NOI. The one market that falls into that class immediately is Nashville. So, we’ll be bringing that up, and that may clearly be one among our major goal markets.

When you concentrate on leaning into our stability sheet, completely. The explanation why we’ve a 3.8 occasions debt to EBITDA, which is No. 1 within the multifamily sector, is as a result of it provides us capability and talent to benefit from alternatives. If there are alternatives there the place we are able to create some actual worth for our shareholders and improve slightly little bit of leverage however nonetheless keep under the 5 occasions stage and we are able to benefit from the alternatives, we will completely do this.

So, that is one thing that we’re completely .

And proper now, there’s simply not an amazing quantity of alternative. So, the alternatives which might be there, we’ll match-fund with tendencies within the close to time period.

John Kim — Analyst

Thanks a lot. I wish to ask about income enhancing and repositioning capex, which you are seeking to improve this 12 months versus final 12 months. Are you able to remind or replace us on the everyday return or rental uplift you get? And what was the contribution to both blended rents or same-store income of $86 million final 12 months has?

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

Yeah, completely. Effectively, to begin with, that is the primary query we have had on reposition for about three years. So, thanks, John, for bringing these again in. Our reposition program has been an absolute super success.

We’re usually getting someplace round an 8% to 10% return on invested capital for what we’re doing. And the way in which it is best to take into consideration that’s that usually equates to about 150 plus or minus {dollars} per door in further lease.After I take a look at the impression in 2024 from repositions, on an NOI foundation, it was, name it, 10 to fifteen foundation factors, which is actually not nothing. I imply, it is actually one thing that makes a ton of sense to us. However it’s important to actually keep in mind that the actual motive why we do repositions is it refreshes our portfolio.

If you concentrate on the kind of actual property that we construct on the outside, it’s completely timeless. However like the whole lot else, kitchens and bogs are what actually reveals the age of a growth. It reveals the age of your home. And so, if we are able to go in and we are able to refresh a kitchen and a rest room and make it look brand-new and on the outside seems to be brand-new, it actually does create a pure protection in opposition to the brand new provide that we see out there.

If you concentrate on a brand-new asset has a a lot increased foundation and naturally, whoever owns that should cost a lot increased rents simply to get the sufficient return, after we can have an asset straight subsequent door or straight adjoining that appears brand-new, has branded kitchens and bogs, and since we’ve a decrease foundation, we are able to cost a decrease rental charge. And it positions us extremely nicely. So, the reposition program is one thing that makes a ton of sense to us. It is one thing that you will see us do fairly a bit.

The opposite factor that I would level out is that we’re additionally repurposing a few of our actual property. And what meaning is house that we’ve at a group, name it, a basketball court docket — an indoor basketball court docket that no one makes use of, and many others. and turning that into further models. And that makes a whole lot of sense to us as nicely.

Hey, good morning, all people. I simply wish to get a way about — I imply, I feel it has been a reasonably constant theme this earnings season that there’s a fairly progressive step-up in blended rents and finally lease progress in Sunbelt markets over the course of the 12 months. However I am making an attempt to get a way of the chance that each one of us are unsuitable in regards to the tempo of provide dropping off over time? And the way a lot of that cushion is baked into the present same-store steerage?

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Effectively, I feel once you take a look at the anybody’s numbers, whether or not or not it’s Witten or RealPage or –the provide is baked, I imply, for the following two years proper now. You are not beginning a bunch of models. I imply, most provide is down and markets are down or begins are down 50%, 60%. In a few markets, it is up slightly like Phoenix, but it surely’s all on the west aspect of Phoenix, and we occur to be on the east aspect of Phoenix, which is an enormous distinction.

And so, I feel — I do not suppose there’s a whole lot of threat on the availability being ratcheted up. I imply, once you take a look at the strain on the event — builders immediately when the tenure is pushing 4 and a half and brief charges have not dropped as a lot as individuals thought they’d drop. Building prices, whereas they don’t seem to be up dramatically, or additionally not down dramatically. There’s nonetheless a whole lot of strain on building prices simply to maintain them.

We have finished — we predict they’re up possibly 1% or 2% from final 12 months, however that does not embrace tariff points. We did an evaluation on tariffs. On tariffs, will add one other 2% to three% in price. Many of the merchandise are purchased — lumber comes out of Canada, a whole lot of merchandise from Mexico, electrical bins and issues like that.

So, there’s — I’d say that with the present price construction, it’s important to actually professional forma important lease will increase in ’26, ’27, ’28 with a purpose to make a professional forma work. So, I do not suppose that there is a massive threat in an enormous upturn in growth begins except you’ve charges fall dramatically, building prices fall dramatically, and that is simply not taking place. So, I feel there’s fairly low threat from a provide perspective. I feel the larger threat in all probability is in what occurs to the general financial system.

I imply, if we’ve a recession in 2025, then I feel all bets are off on how nicely issues progress. And that is — I do not suppose that is on individuals’s radar display, however I do suppose that is in all probability the larger threat when you concentrate on how ’25 may play out versus — but it surely’s not going to be on the availability aspect. I imply, the availability is coming, we all know it is coming, then it stops. And it should take — even should you had a 50% improve in begins this 12 months, it would not come into play till 2027 or 2028.

It simply takes that lengthy to ship. So, I feel we have got clear crusing on provide not less than via the tip of ’27 and into ’28.

Hello, thanks. So, you mentioned Tampa, L.A., San Diego, Washington, D.C., and Houston as the highest markets. Do you suppose that Camden’s efficiency in these markets is consultant of the general market? Or are there some Camden-specific attributes which might be resulting in stronger efficiency? After which particularly on Tampa, you talked about a lift in demand within the fourth quarter. So, I am questioning if that is hurricane-related and sustainable.

Thanks.

D. Keith Oden — Government Vice Chairman

So, yeah. On Tampa, it’s hurricane-related for positive. And finally, that may reasonable over time. I imply, we have seen that occur in Houston with Harvey, and many others.

So, that was undoubtedly a hurricane-related factor. On the efficiency in these different markets, I feel you take a look at the peer group and in these different markets, the largest overlap that we’ve with public market peer group is in Washington, D.C. Metro. And I feel all people had fairly constructive commentary round what’s taking place in Washington, D.C.

Metro. Houston is the differentiator for us as a result of we’re the one public firm that has any significant presence. And as Alex identified, it is 13%. It is our largest NOI focus market that we’ve.

Now, we’re dedicated to bringing that all the way down to single digits over some time frame. However the actuality is, is that Houston has simply been an ideal performer for the final 12 months and a half, and once more, seems to be like it is going to be in 2025 as nicely. And that is a mix of comparatively low provide. You simply did not have the waves of when all of that — the present pipeline was being put in play couple of years in the past, Houston kind of bought missed due to a whole lot of different points.

However the vitality sector is performing extremely nicely. I feel all indications are that that is going to proceed to be supported and possibly even way more supported than it has been within the final 4 years. So, these two markets for positive, I feel anyone that has belongings in these markets have finished fairly nicely. On California, Southern California story has been fairly good as nicely.

And a whole lot of that’s pushed by the cessation and the working via all the COVID-related initiatives to incorporate coming down on unhealthy money owed, and many others. So, I feel that is additionally a reasonably good story for anyone that owns belongings in Southern California. So, we are likely to function higher in our markets on metrics, on occupancy and NOI progress throughout the board. So, there’s in all probability some Camden-ism simply the way in which and the effectivity with which we function our portfolio and our time in these markets and understanding how that helps.

However all 5 of these markets — should you’ve bought belongings in these markets, you are in all probability actually pleased proper now and looking out ahead to — let’s deliver on 2025.

You are not — you do not turn out to be one of many 100 greatest corporations to work for on Fortune 100, Fortune’s listing for 17 years straight if you do not have an ideal crew. And everyone knows Tremendous Bowl is arising on Sunday, and we all know that it is not only one participant, it is a crew, it is philosophy, it is vitality, it is that synergy that brings the perfect out of the gamers. And in our case, our gamers, they’re working each day and believing that they actually wish to handle their prospects, and that simply provides worth and prospects really feel it.

Clearly, a whole lot of headlines round what’s taking place with form of federal staff and possibly a smaller federal authorities. So, possibly simply what’s taking place from the demand aspect within the final couple of weeks there and possibly what your outlook is as possibly the composition of the federal government modifications? After which simply as a second half there, once more, nonetheless in D.C., what are you guys seeing when it comes to cap charges and even on a per sq. foot foundation when it comes to the transaction market in D.C.?

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Let me hit the transaction market first. D.C. is a good transaction market. Cap charges are within the — relying on the property within the mid-fours to excessive fours plus or minus.

So, there’s nonetheless an honest demand there. And once you take a look at the truth that D.C. has not — has been an outperformer from the income progress the final couple of years and can proceed, we predict, be in that form of A class vary, I feel that transaction quantity shall be good. When you concentrate on authorities modifications, it is actually attention-grabbing.

Should you take a look at a few of the single-family markets there, I imply, there’s been a spike in costs on the market property there due to the transition due to the brand new administration. There’s at all times tends to be extra demand throughout transitions than should you simply had an incumbent win. I will let Keith discuss extra in regards to the present demand. Go forward, Keith.

D. Keith Oden — Government Vice Chairman

Yeah. I imply it is — making an attempt to determine the crosscurrents proper now between form of what’s being talked about versus form of desirous about what do you suppose is definitely going to occur is — man, It is a crapshoot, I feel. And for each time you hear authorities — potential of presidency downsizing of individuals, I feel the newest quantity I heard was they supplied all people in the complete federal authorities a buyout package deal. And on the final rely, I feel it was as much as 20,000 or 25,000 individuals who stated they are going to enroll in that, which is a rounding error of the entire federal workforce.

So, I feel the — on the similar time, that dialog is occurring. You are having one other broader dialog about should you’re a federal worker, you are going to have to come back again to the workplace. And so, I feel that there is in all probability a knock-on impact there of D.C. correct, which frankly, for us has been the weak hyperlink in our D.C.

Metro portfolio over the past two years. And it may very nicely be that as individuals must return to work in an precise workplace, preponderance and an enormous portion of the Witten and D.C. correct, that it should make extra sense for them to doubtlessly transfer again nearer to — or into D.C. correct.

So, I feel there’s a whole lot of crosscurrents. I feel there’s a whole lot of discuss.

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

It is only a matter of creating positive that we hit what we imagine could be affordable spreads and affordable return. I imply, if we — one of many issues that we have seen, simply take Nashville for example, I imply, Nashville is so busy from a growth perspective, prices went up so dramatically, you could not get anyone to bid your jobs. Now, we’ve seven deep of subcontractors bidding on our Nashville Nations properties. So, what’s occurred then is that, A, you’ve got had building prices flatten, possibly go down slightly.

After which, B, however, you’ve a broader sub base, which signifies that tells me that after we execute contracts, we are able to in all probability get purchase out wherever from 2% to three% or 4% much less after we purchase out — after we really purchase the contracts slightly than simply asking them to inform us what they’d go for. So, it should be — so, towards the center of the 12 months, we could have a greater view of when that second derivatives turns constructive in a whole lot of these markets on rental charges, and that may simply give us extra confidence to lean in. So, it is actually a call about we have to receives a commission for growth threat. So, we want 100 to 150 foundation factors of constructive unfold between what we are able to purchase for and what we are able to construct for.

After which we’ve to have the arrogance that the income progress goes to be there in ’26 and ’27 and ’28. We’ll get extra confidence of that midyear. So, that may decide kind of whether or not we get to the excessive finish of that vary. One of many different, I feel, alternatives that we may see mainly is service provider builders who cannot get their offers finished and we are able to then step into these offers and get these finished.

We have now traditionally finished that rather a lot through the years, particularly throughout transition occasions like we’ve now. And so, we would be capable of choose up a few of these that may’t get finished both. So, that would push us towards the excessive finish of that vary as nicely.

Hey, thanks for taking my query. Perhaps simply going again to the broader transaction markets. I recognize all the colour to this point. And it simply looks like there’s nonetheless a ton of cash bidding on flats inside financing prices and the expectations for lease progress to finally overcome that impediment.

However you guys have talked in regards to the — possibly the elevated pickup within the again half of the 12 months. So, I assume my query is simply how for much longer do you suppose the damaging leverage will final, particularly desirous about how way more there may be to come back in transactions within the again half? And I assume only a fast follow-up on that. Do you suppose that the market is likely to be too aggressive on the speed of progress being underwritten for ’26 and ’27? Or is it actually that prime of an expectation that justifies the damaging leverage? Thanks.

Richard J. Campo — Chairman and Chief Government Officer

Effectively, that is what individuals are betting on for positive, is that ’26 and ’27 are going to be outsized progress years. And if historical past is any indication of what is likely to be the long run, that is precisely what’s occurred through the years. You might have a downturn, you’ve extra provide, you’ve a recession or what have you ever. After which what occurs is you’ve a snapback.

And normally, provide continues to be strong, however we all know that offer shouldn’t be going to be strong. And if the job market simply holds up and the financial system holds up, we’ll get 2% GDP progress or 1.5% to 2%, you’ll be able to — or consumers are going to be underwriting important lease progress in ’26 and ’27, ’28. In any other case, they would not by no means — they can not make their numbers, proper? And particularly once you take a look at the place the costs are immediately. So, I feel what is going on to occur that may drive consumers and sellers nearer collectively is the NOIs are going to go up in some markets in 2025.

And when you concentrate on our prime markets, our NOIs are rising. And so, even when the cap charge stays the identical, the money flows are rising, and you’ve got a trajectory that you would be able to rely on. After which hopefully, I feel individuals are betting on despite the fact that charges are going to be increased for longer. Over an extended interval, they imagine that they will come down some.

So, I feel the mix of provide, the power to drive your income progress and your NOI progress goes to maintain individuals within the — they’re going to have the ability — they may proceed to purchase even with damaging leverage immediately. I feel long run, if the NOI progress is not there and if charges do not come down some, then cap charges must go up or you are going to have a stalemate between the consumers and the sellers. And so, we’ll see what occurs. However proper now, the market is fairly strong.

And what occurs is absolutely attention-grabbing. I imply, there was a transaction, for instance, that we’re bidding on in Nashville lately. And should you’re making an attempt to purchase at a particular cap charge like we’re, the vendor mainly simply stated, look, we hear your quantity, and we will pull. And their view is that they will get the next value sooner or later.

The cap charge would be the similar maybe, however their money movement progress shall be increased. And so, there — I feel there shall be an attention-grabbing — it is going to be very attention-grabbing to see what occurs between now and midyear to the tip of the 12 months in 2025. However I feel it should be a extra strong transaction market. And I feel all of the indicators are that we’ll get that constructive second spinoff on new lease progress, and that is going to create a whole lot of alternative for sellers to come back into the market and for consumers to purchase.

Aren’t there any markets that you simply simply suppose are higher, proper? They’re simply flat out higher condo markets for the following 10 or 15 years or no matter it is likely to be? Or is that probably not the case? There’s nothing structural or secular there? I am simply desirous about — does this determination say extra about Houston and D.C.? Or does it say extra a few huge alternative set throughout your markets and it being slightly bit troublesome to tell apart?

D. Keith Oden — Government Vice Chairman

So, I’d say it is extra in regards to the alternative set throughout all our markets. And once you say some markets are higher. Effectively, it relies on when. For instance, three years in the past, Houston would have been at — Houston and Washington, D.C.

had been the issue kids in Camden’s portfolio. It is all anyone needed to speak about, and it is a whole lot of what we talked about internally as a result of these are our two largest markets, they usually had been underperforming and had been for about two or three years straight. So, quick ahead, right here we’re immediately, Washington, D.C. Metro and Houston are our prime two performer — or within the prime 5 and doubtless slated to be within the prime two or three for this 12 months and doubtless subsequent 12 months as nicely.

So, should you ask that query, some markets simply higher, sure, I imply, 4 years in the past, all of them would have been higher than Houston and D.C. Metro. And immediately, it is reversed. It is extra about simply having a stability amongst 15 markets that we completely love.

Each market that is in our portfolio is — has the traits that exemplify what we wish to see in migration, job progress, constantly acting on the power to maneuver rents over time and to function the belongings at — from an expense standpoint at a stage that permits us to develop money movement. So, it is not a press release anyway about D.C. and Houston. It is only a assertion about we bought nice alternatives in different markets, progress alternatives in markets like Austin and Nashville, the place we’re underweight, and it is simply balancing these alternatives.

It is simply — there’s simply not lots of people who wish to transfer across the vacation season, and many others. And that is normally when we’ve the least quantity of pricing energy. And so, it is best to see it begin to return to a extra regular seasonal sample at that time limit.

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my query. I at all times recognize the tune selections main up the decision as nicely. I used to be questioning should you may speak about your leasing tendencies to this point for the three communities in lease-up and the way that flows simply into the lease-up income line for the quarter after which extra broadly in your 2025 view? Thanks.

Alexander J. Ok. Jessett — President and Chief Monetary Officer

Yeah, completely. So, should you take a look at the communities that we’ve in lease-up, two of them are the single-family rental communities. And we have been very upfront that our single-family rental communities are — they’re sluggish leasing. They only are.

It is the actual demographic that appears for that product sort tends to point out up as soon as then they present up once more, then they present up and once they measure a bed room and be sure that their furnishings can match, and many others. And so, it’s a slower leasing. Now, the excellent news is that we predict they will be actually sticky. And we predict as soon as they’re within the turnover, if it takes them that lengthy to decide to maneuver in, we predict it is going to take them equally so long as to decide to maneuver out.

However that is what we have been seeing. After I take a look at Camden Durham, which is our final — the third one which’s in lease-up. Throughout the fourth quarter, we had the kind of leasing that we’d anticipate, which is slower. As I stated to one of many earlier calls, the fourth quarter is at all times the slowest quarter, and that is no completely different whether or not or not it is a new lease-up or an present asset.

That being stated, should you look the place they’re, so Wooden Mill Creek is 89% occupied. Durham is 78% occupied. So, each of these are getting very near stabilization. And so clearly, we should always get some uptick in 2025 from these two as they stabilize.

After which Lengthy Meadow Farms is slightly bit behind. The opposite two simply because it began after them at 53% leased.
