Apartment List just released their latest monthly rent report, revealing that prices are continuing to rebound, with our national index up by 1.9% month-over-month. This is the biggest monthly jump in our national index since the start of our estimates in 2017, breaking a record set just last month. Rent growth has now been outpacing prior-year averages for several months, indicating that this year’s moving season is set to be a historically busy one.
The data continues to show significant regional variation, but the days of plummeting rents in pricey coastal markets have come to an end. The cities with the sharpest year-over-year rent declines are now experiencing positive rent growth again, and in some cases, prices are rapidly rebounding.
