The March Rental Report by Realtor.com highlights a significant divergence in rental market trends across the U.S. As high-cost markets in the West, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, experience year-over-year price declines of 0.8%, numerous Midwestern cities such as Indianapolis and Cincinnati see rent increases of 10.3% and 9.6%, respectively. Nationally, the median rent for the 50 largest metros has increased to $1,732, reflecting a $15 rise from the previous month but a $32 drop from the peak last year. This indicates a cooling of the rental market after a high growth rate of 16.4% in January 2022. The report also notes the impact of tech layoffs on California's rental prices and emphasizes the affordability factor driving demand in lower-cost regions.
