SFR Real Estate Rental Market Insight
Apartmentlist.com is reporting that after experiencing tremendous rent growth in 2021 and the first half of 2022, the U.S. housing market has decelerated quickly.
A confluence of high inflation, high interest rates, and low consumer confidence quelled housing demand towards the end of 2022, and the final four months of the year produced the steepest monthly rent drops ever measured by the Apartment List National Rent Index.
In 2023, many cities that saw rents skyrocket early in the pandemic are cheaper today than they were one year ago.
The map and data below will be updated every month in order to track the cities that are finally experiencing a break in rent inflation. Track the trends at ApartmentList.com.
