Camden delivered Q1 core FFO of $1.70 per share, exceeding the midpoint of guidance by $0.04, though guidance was reaffirmed at a $6.75 midpoint as the beat was timing-related.

April blends improved 100 basis points with green shoots emerging, and supply was down 50% from peak with completions on a clear decline path. The California sale was progressing with a single buyer in diligence.
