In further understanding the differences between the trends in rental v. owner-occupied housing, we can apply economic theory. First and foremost, is supply and demand theory. This is the most basic of economic principles. It explains how prices are set, how and when the market is at equilibrium, and human behavior in the context of a free market economy.
