Redfin reports that median U.S. asking rent rose 0.9% year over year in August to $1,645, marking the biggest annual increase since April 2023. Despite this rise, rents remain 3.2% below the all-time high set two years ago. The report highlights:

- 0-1 bedroom apartments: up 0.1% to $1,495
- 2 bedroom apartments: unchanged at $1,725
- 3+ bedroom apartments: down 1.7% to $2,008

Rental affordability has improved due to lower rents and wage growth of 3.8% year over year. The construction boom, especially in Sun Belt states, has led to supply outweighing demand in some areas. Austin, TX saw the steepest rent decline at 17.6% year over year, while Virginia Beach, VA experienced the largest increase at 15.2%.

Redfin riporta che l'affitto medio negli Stati Uniti è aumentato dello 0,9% su base annua ad agosto, raggiungendo i $1,645, segnando il più grande incremento annuale da aprile 2023. Nonostante questo aumento, gli affitti rimangono inferiori del 3,2% rispetto al massimo storico raggiunto due anni fa. Il rapporto evidenzia:

- Appartamenti con 0-1 camera: aumentati dello 0,1% a $1,495
- Appartamenti con 2 camere: invariati a $1,725
- Appartamenti con più di 3 camere: diminuiti dell'1,7% a $2,008

La sostenibilità degli affitti è migliorata grazie ai prezzi più bassi e a un aumento salariale del 3,8% su base annua. Il boom edilizio, specialmente negli stati del Sun Belt, ha portato a una sovrabbondanza di offerta rispetto alla domanda in alcune aree. Austin, TX ha registrato la maggiore diminuzione degli affitti, con un calo del 17,6% su base annua, mentre Virginia Beach, VA ha visto il maggiore aumento con un incremento del 15,2%.

Redfin informa que el alquiler medio en EE. UU. aumentó un 0.9% interanual en agosto, alcanzando los $1,645, marcando el mayor incremento anual desde abril de 2023. A pesar de este aumento, los alquileres se mantienen un 3.2% por debajo del máximo histórico establecido hace dos años. El informe destaca:

- Apartamentos de 0-1 dormitorio: aumento del 0.1% a $1,495
- Apartamentos de 2 dormitorios: sin cambios a $1,725
- Apartamentos de 3 o más dormitorios: disminución del 1.7% a $2,008

La asequibilidad de los alquileres ha mejorado debido a los alquileres más bajos y un crecimiento salarial del 3.8% interanual. El boom de la construcción, especialmente en los estados del Sun Belt, ha llevado a que la oferta supere la demanda en algunas áreas. Austin, TX vio la mayor disminución del alquiler con un descenso del 17.6% interanual, mientras que Virginia Beach, VA experimentó el mayor aumento con un incremento del 15.2%.

레드핀은 미국의 평균 임대료가 8월에 전년 대비 0.9% 상승하여 $1,645에 도달했다고 보고하며, 이는 2023년 4월 이후 가장 큰 연간 증가를 의미한다. 이러한 상승에도 불구하고 임대료는 2년 전의 역사적 최고치보다 3.2% 낮은 상태다. 이 보고서는 다음과 같은 내용을 강조한다:

- 0-1베드룸 아파트: 0.1% 증가하여 $1,495
- 2베드룸 아파트: $1,725로 변동 없음
- 3베드룸 이상 아파트: 1.7% 감소하여 $2,008

임대 가능성이 향상된 것은 낮은 임대료와 전년 대비 3.8%의 임금 증가 덕분이다. 건설 붐이 특히 썬벨트 주에서 공급이 수요를 초과하게 만들었다. 오스틴, TX는 전년 대비 17.6%로 가장 큰 임대료 하락을 경험했다, 반면 버지니아 비치, VA는 15.2%로 가장 큰 증가를 보였다.

Redfin rapporte que le loyer médian aux États-Unis a augmenté de 0,9 % d'une année sur l'autre en août, atteignant 1 645 $, marquant la plus grande augmentation annuelle depuis avril 2023. Malgré cette hausse, les loyers restent 3,2 % en dessous du record historique atteint il y a deux ans. Le rapport met en lumière :

- Appartements de 0 à 1 chambre : en hausse de 0,1 % à 1 495 $
- Appartements de 2 chambres : inchangés à 1 725 $
- Appartements de 3 chambres et plus : en baisse de 1,7 % à 2 008 $

L'accessibilité des loyers s'est améliorée grâce à la baisse des loyers et à une augmentation salariale de 3,8 % d'une année sur l'autre. Le boom de la construction, notamment dans les États du Sun Belt, a conduit à une offre dépassant la demande dans certaines régions. Austin, TX a connu la plus forte baisse des loyers avec 17,6 % d'une année sur l'autre, tandis que Virginia Beach, VA a enregistré la plus forte augmentation avec 15,2 %.

Redfin berichtet, dass die durchschnittliche Miete in den USA im August um 0,9% im Vergleich zum Vorjahr auf $1,645 gestiegen ist, was den größten jährlichen Anstieg seit April 2023 darstellt. Trotz dieses Anstiegs liegen die Mieten 3,2% unter dem historischen Höchststand von vor zwei Jahren. Der Bericht hebt hervor:

- 0-1 Schlafzimmer Wohnungen: um 0,1% auf $1,495 gestiegen
- 2 Schlafzimmer Wohnungen: unverändert bei $1,725
- 3+ Schlafzimmer Wohnungen: um 1,7% auf $2,008 gesunken

Die Erschwinglichkeit von Mieten hat sich aufgrund niedrigerer Preise und einem Lohnwachstum von 3,8% im Vergleich zum Vorjahr verbessert. Der Bauaufschwung, insbesondere in den Staaten des Sun Belt, hat dazu geführt, dass in einigen Regionen das Angebot die Nachfrage übersteigt. Austin, TX verzeichnete den größten Rückgang der Mieten mit 17,6% im Vergleich zum Vorjahr, während Virginia Beach, VA die größte Erhöhung mit 15,2% erlebte.

Insights

The 0.9% year-over-year increase in median U.S. asking rent to $1,645 marks the largest annual rise since April 2023, signaling a potential shift in the rental market. However, it's important to note that rents remain 3.2% below the peak reached two years ago, indicating improved affordability when combined with the 3.8% wage growth. The discrepancy in rent changes across different apartment sizes, with larger units seeing decreases, suggests a complex market dynamic. The construction boom, particularly in Sun Belt states, has played a significant role in stabilizing rents. Investors should monitor the slowing pace of new construction and its potential impact on future rent trends. The stark contrast between rental and home sale prices, with the latter up 7.3%, highlights the diverging paths of these two housing sectors.

The report reveals significant regional variations in the rental market. Austin's 17.6% year-over-year rent decrease is particularly noteworthy, exemplifying the impact of oversupply in rapidly growing markets. This trend extends to other Sun Belt cities like San Diego and Jacksonville, suggesting a potential correction in these previously hot markets. Conversely, the substantial rent increases in Virginia Beach (15.2%) and Washington, D.C. (12.2%) indicate shifting demand patterns, possibly influenced by remote work trends and changing urban preferences. The multifamily building completions at historic highs in 2024 are likely to continue exerting downward pressure on rents in oversupplied markets. Investors should carefully consider these regional disparities and supply-demand dynamics when evaluating real estate opportunities, as they may signal longer-term shifts in market attractiveness.

The median asking rent climbed for the fifth consecutive month, up 0.9% year over year to $1,645

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The median U.S. asking rent rose 0.9% year over year in August to $1,645—the biggest annual increase since April 2023. That’s according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. Rents were up 0.1% on a month-over-month basis.

Rents for 0-1 bedroom apartments ticked up 0.1% year over year to $1,495, while 2 bedroom apartments remained unchanged at $1,725. Rents for 3+ bedroom apartments fell 1.7% to $2,008. The discrepancy between the overall result (showing a 0.9% gain) and the three different bedroom counts (which either fell, remained the same, or rose by a lower amount) is the result of a statistical phenomenon known as Simpson’s paradox.

While rents rose the most in nearly 18 months, August marked two years from when they hit an all-time high. Lower rents, paired with wages growing 3.8% year over year, show that rental affordability has improved.

Multifamily building completions are at historic highs in 2024 and in some areas supply now outweighs demand. That is driving some building owners to reduce rents and offer concessions to prospective tenants.

“Almost everything in our lives costs more than it did two years ago—but rents have remained largely stable thanks to the construction boom, especially across the Sun Belt states,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. “We are seeing rents tick up a little now that new construction is starting to slow down, but asking rents are likely to stay relatively flat for some time due to the backlog of new apartments that are still coming onto the market.”

Rents in Austin and other Sun Belt metros continue to fall the fastest

The trend of increased construction leading to lower rents is most obvious in Austin, TX where the median asking rent fell 17.6% year over year in August—the steepest decline of the 33 major metros Redfin analyzed. In dollar terms, that means rents in Austin are $317 a month less now than they were a year ago.

Authorities in the Texas capital signed off on the most new construction in the country in an effort to keep up with soaring demand during the pandemic. Demand has now leveled off, but a lot of new apartments are still coming onto the market, so asking rents are falling.

San Diego (-13.3%) and Jacksonville, FL (-13%) also recorded double-digit decreases in asking rents in August, while San Francisco (-7.8%) and Tampa, FL (-5.8%) rounded out the five metros with the largest rent decreases.

The median asking rent in Virginia Beach, VA rose 15.2% year over year in August, the biggest jump among the metros Redfin analyzed. Washington, D.C. (up 12.2%), Baltimore, MD (up 11.3%), Chicago (up 10.8%) and Cincinnati, OH (up 9.4%) posted the next highest gains.
