PM Trends 2027

The definitive study of single-family rental property owners and tenants in the United States. Research by Harris Poll. Be a part of it.

View Sponsor Tiers

In-depth reporting on the owners your customers serve - and their tenants.

SFR owners with 1-10 units are the lifeblood of the property management industry. For 2027 the research doubles: n=500 US rental property owners plus n=500 tenants (renters living in single-family detached homes).

Shelf life

We don't run our own survey. Harris Poll fields it: 1,000 U.S. adults across both audiences, fielding winter 2026-27, weighted to reflect the broader landlord and renter populations.

"Founded in 1956, The Harris Poll is one of the longest running surveys in the U.S. tracking public opinion, motivations, and social sentiments."

A note on editorial independence.

Sponsors do not influence findings.

PM Trends retains full editorial control over all report content. Sponsors and Data Partners do not review, approve, or influence findings or conclusions prior to publication. Data contributions enhance the research but do not dictate the narrative.

This is not a concession - it's the reason the report is worth reading and the reason your sponsorship is worth buying. If we compromised editorial independence, the report would lose the credibility that makes it valuable to PMs and to you.

Data Partners approve their own expert commentary quote (2-3 sentences). That is the only content subject to sponsor review. The Digital Launch Sponsor presents the event but has no input on the questions asked or the conversation itself.
