Insights

CoStar's Q1 2025 multifamily rent report demonstrates market stabilization after previous volatility cycles. The consistent 1.1% year-over-year rent growth since mid-2023 signals a normalized rental environment following the dramatic fluctuations of 2021-2022. The 1.0% quarter-over-quarter rent increase represents a positive reversal after two declining quarters.

The narrowing gap between supply (140,950 units) and absorption (137,750 units) for five consecutive quarters indicates the market is approaching equilibrium. This trend is particularly significant as it suggests the oversupply conditions that began in Q4 2021 are gradually resolving, which should eventually support firmer rent growth.

The geographical divergence is striking – Midwest markets dominating the growth charts while Sun Belt regions struggle with oversupply highlights the danger of concentrated development cycles. Kansas City (3.5%), Chicago (3.3%) and Pittsburgh (3.3%) outperforming while Austin (-4.5%) and Denver (-3.6%) decline reflects how regions that avoided supply surges now enjoy healthier fundamentals.

The luxury segment's dynamics – strong absorption (103,000 units) yet weak rent growth (0.5%) and high vacancy (11.4%) – indicate continued absorption of upscale inventory but with pricing power constraints. Mid-market properties showing stronger performance with 1.4% rent growth and 7.4% vacancy suggests greater resilience in this segment.

This quarterly rent report provides valuable operational indicators for CoStar Group's Apartments.com platform. The stable 1.1% year-over-year rent growth suggests CoStar's rental marketplace is operating in a steady environment, which typically supports predictable listing revenue streams.

The accelerating absorption metrics – 35% quarter-over-quarter and 12.8% year-over-year increases – point to strengthening demand dynamics. This trend benefits CoStar's platform by potentially increasing listing activity and user engagement. The narrowing supply-demand gap over five consecutive quarters indicates gradually improving market conditions that should enhance property manager sentiment and potentially their marketing spend.

The pronounced regional variations create both opportunities and challenges for CoStar. Their revenue exposure to underperforming Sun Belt markets could face pressure as nine of the ten weakest markets are in this region. Conversely, the stronger Midwest performance may offset these challenges if CoStar can capitalize on increased activity in these markets.

The segmentation data showing mid-priced assets outperforming luxury units suggests CoStar might benefit from focusing marketing efforts on this more resilient segment. With luxury properties showing 11.4% vacancy rates despite leading absorption, this segment likely requires longer marketing periods, which could drive sustained listing revenue despite softer rent growth.

Overall, these metrics indicate stable but unspectacular operating conditions for CoStar's Apartments.com business, with incremental improvements in key fundamentals that support gradual marketplace growth.

Quarterly data shows stable rent growth in the first quarter of the year

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, Apartments.com – an online marketplace of CoStar Group – published an in-depth report on multifamily rent trends for the first quarter of 2025.

U.S. Apartment Rent Growth

U.S. Apartment Rent Growth

The national year-over-year asking rent growth for apartments was 1.1% in March 2025, unchanged from the end of December 2024. Since mid-2023, year-over-year rent growth has hovered just above 1% after its rapid deceleration in 2021 and 2022.

The national rent per unit ended the quarter at $1,754, compared to $1,735 recorded at the end of the first quarter of 2024. Quarter-over-quarter rents rose by 1.0%, following the two prior quarters of rents falling. The vacancy rate held steady at 8.1%.

The first quarter recorded 137,750 units of absorption, a 35% increase over the previous quarter and 12.8% higher than absorption in the first quarter of 2024. Supply additions in the quarter numbered 140,950, once again exceeding absorption, a trend that has persisted since the fourth quarter of 2021. However, the gap between supply and demand has narrowed for each of the past five quarters as the market moves towards more balanced conditions.

At 3.5%, Kansas City saw the strongest year-over-year asking rent growth of the top 50 markets nationwide in the first quarter of the year. Chicago and Pittsburgh followed close behind at 3.3% rent growth. Six of the top 10 markets for annual asking rent growth are in the Midwest, highlighting the current strength of markets that avoided large run-ups of supply over the past three years.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, asking rent fell by 4.5% from the previous year in Austin, followed by Denver where rents fell by 3.6% over the year. Phoenix and Tucson saw rents fall 3.5% and 2.0%, respectively. Nine of the ten weakest-performing markets are in the Sun Belt, where oversupply conditions remain challenging.

Absorption during the year was led by 4 & 5-Star units, with just over 103,000 units absorbed in the first quarter. With most new supply aimed at the luxury market, annual asking rent growth was the weakest in the segment at 0.5%, coupled with a vacancy rate of 11.4% at the end of the first quarter. In contrast, year-over-year rent growth of mid-priced assets reached 1.4% at the end of the first quarter, with a vacancy rate of 7.4%.
