- With fewer tenant disruptions — people traveling less and schedules becoming more predictable — Q4 becomes a prime window for unit turnarounds and amenity upgrades.
- Material lead times are stabilizing post–summer volatility, offering greater scheduling certainty.
- Renovations completed before winter enhance curb appeal and support stronger lease-up rates and retention in the new year.
- From a budgeting perspective, allocating remaining CapEx dollars in Q4 helps avoid “use-it-or-lose-it” pitfalls.
