third Just a our pretty remember focused have third of the is on on visibility that a of the good quarter, we that the sense fact given lot quarter. backlog

fair Yeah. point. That's a

because you didn't other question my interesting much of documents, going part you when exposure It single-family about you obviously the regards are to relates your builders, markets. as through really, rental guess sort cancellations, was talk so to whether business part but really of well, current disappear the a they but of collect builders the about bids the from guys were you -- acquire and all that's Rick I customers as important And to look the are to equation. the that curious, people how providing really rental, that that in much rents, appetite if the to was I curious I we that single-family a going of could been percentage talking earnest lot was the know all units talk has their ASP. at except as I money of and strong, to about deposits in the percentage an your that, environment. a

of could rising of rates actually of was just sort talk rental business And if the ability I cycles from the wondering into arena? unlike in benefit your you so, company the some to pushing past about

address So backlog the let question me on first deposits. and

mortgage has done comes concentrated to sure One company very people that the go. attack QX closing have to We've when good and effort that so they're our things is of QX really place and mortgages in make our had lock that backlog. a up,

dropped. Just mortgages place, in interest but rate

even right towards will the these the covered rates market is rental you've formation single talked that more Steve, rental multi-family, over strong. from all the know I people as a and still multi-family family need And rental, we're the market some fact dynamic move lot SFR to dynamics. remains push end in moves we interesting that these going rental home The interest go for as areas of as that's We've homeownership supply of to towards say, me live increases a up, And quarters that around place that already to traditional going and to probably well constrained more the is it household mean extent lot a of rent. an let day, entire of traditional people So shortage. shifting now. that rentals. for about both think housing market, the the demand be the there's people of ownership component out at I

look of moving rental rental single-family where rates, traditional and past in you rent, been the growing limited you've both function rates. demand. aggressive supply and pretty on rentals at have If movements That for year, seen and upward the they a the is over

play this are So and are new model rates interest are have some shifting out rates from of we what in sit to environment, SFR a higher and confusion rental their market like. of as next rate quarters that customers. reconciles is higher some as buyers marks that or to to getting the going the out, even their interest the have the to also over question the how capital going what but rates of to there stack, as rethink moving point they part looks They their rental

to have see that to out. going plays how we're So

investment on those to maintain are Jon, And adjustments communities sure make and to as single-family rents making incorporate we that going Stuart with the them I in said in I what's the daily and pricing and my comments, adjustments buyer.
