Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) reports that U.S. median asking rents fell 0.3% year over year to $1,594 in December 2024, reaching the lowest level since March 2022. This represents a 6.2% decline from the August 2022 peak of $1,700.

The decline is attributed to increased housing supply, with apartment completions surging 58.1% year over year in Q3 2024, reaching the highest level since 1974. This has led to an 8% vacancy rate for buildings with five or more units.

The report shows declining rents across all apartment types, with 3+ bedrooms experiencing the largest drop (-2.5% to $1,950). Among major metros, Austin saw the steepest decline (-16.3%), followed by Tampa (-10.4%) and Jacksonville (-6.7%). Conversely, Providence led rent increases (12.6%), followed by Virginia Beach (10.9%).

하락의 원인은 주택 공급 증가로, 2024년 3분기 아파트 완공이 작년 대비 58.1% 증가하여 1974년 이후 가장 높은 수준에 도달했습니다. 이로 인해 5개 이상의 유닛을 가진 건물의 공실률이 8%에 달했습니다.

보고서에 따르면 모든 유형의 아파트에서 임대료가 하락하고 있으며, 3개 이상의 침실이 있는 아파트는 가장 큰 하락폭(-2.5%로 $1,950)에 해당했습니다. 주요 대도시 중에서는 Austin이 가장 큰 하락폭(-16.3%)을 기록했으며, 이어서 Tampa(-10.4%)와 Jacksonville(-6.7%)가 뒤를 이었습니다. 반대로 Providence는 임대료 인상폭이 가장 크며(12.6%), 그 뒤를 Virginia Beach(10.9%)가 따릅니다.

Insights

The rental market's significant cooling trend marks a pivotal shift in the U.S. housing landscape. The 0.3% year-over-year decline in median asking rents to $1,594, coupled with a substantial 6.2% drop from the August 2022 peak, signals a clear market correction. The most telling data point is the 58.1% surge in apartment completions - the highest since 1974 - pushing vacancy rates to 8%.

The Sun Belt region's dramatic price corrections, particularly Austin's 16.3% decline and being 22.6% below its peak, reflect the region's aggressive building spree and post-pandemic normalization. This supply-driven correction differs fundamentally from previous downturns, suggesting a healthier market rebalancing rather than economic distress.

The per-square-foot metrics, showing a 1.9% year-over-year decline to $1.78, provide a more accurate picture of value deterioration, as this measure controls for unit size variations. The larger units' steeper declines (2.5% for 3+ bedrooms) indicate a particular softening in the family rental segment.

The rental market's structural shift presents a fascinating economic case study. The 8% vacancy rate represents a critical inflection point where supply has finally caught up with demand, effectively transferring pricing power to renters. This market correction is most pronounced in high-growth markets that experienced unsustainable pandemic-era appreciation.

The regional divergence is particularly noteworthy - while Sun Belt markets are experiencing sharp corrections, northeastern cities like Providence (12.6% increase) and Buffalo (9.4% increase) continue to see rent growth. This dichotomy reflects varying regional supply dynamics and migration patterns. The data suggests we're witnessing a 'tale of two markets' where overbuilt regions are correcting while supply-constrained markets maintain pricing power.

For property investors, the key metric to watch is the slowdown in apartment construction mentioned in the report. This could create a floor for rent declines in late 2025, potentially setting up the next cycle of rent growth as supply growth moderates.

The median asking rent fell to $1,594 in December, down 0.3% year over year

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (NASDAQ: RDFN)—The median U.S. asking rent fell 0.3% year over year in December to $1,594—the lowest level since March 2022. That’s according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

The median asking rent was down 0.1% from a month earlier, and down 6.2% from its August 2022 record high of $1,700.

The median asking rent per square foot dropped 1.9% year over year in December to $1.78, and fell 0.1% month over month.

Asking rents have been inching down because an influx of supply has left apartment owners with rising vacancies. Apartment completions surged 58.1% year over year to the highest level since 1974 in the third quarter—the most recent period for which data is available. As a result, the vacancy rate for buildings with five or more units rose to 8%, the highest since early 2021.

“We’re kicking off 2025 in a renter’s market, with many renters finding that apartments cost less than a year ago—especially in the Sun Belt,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. “While asking rents declined in 2024, they may not have much further to fall this year given that apartment construction has begun to slow.”

Asking rents fell across all apartment types, with 3+ bedrooms seeing the largest decline

Asking rents fell across all bedroom counts for the sixth consecutive month in December.

The median asking rent for 0-1 bedroom apartments fell 1% year over year to $1,449. For 2 bedroom apartments, it declined 0.6% to $1,665, and for 3+ bedroom apartments, it dropped 2.5% to $1,950.

Asking rents fell fastest in Austin, now 23% below their all-time high

In Austin, TX, the median asking rent dropped 16.3% year over year in December—the largest decline among the 44 major U.S. metropolitan areas Redfin analyzed. At $1,393, Austin’s median asking rent last month was 22.6% below its August 2023 record high.

Florida is home to the two metros that posted the next steepest declines: Tampa (-10.4%) and Jacksonville (-6.7%). Next came Nashville (-6.3%) and New York (-4.6%).

Asking rents are falling most in the Sun Belt because the region has been building a lot of housing, and because in some areas, rents are coming back down to earth after rising to unsustainable levels during the pandemic moving frenzy.

Rents rose most in Providence, RI (12.6% YoY), followed by Virginia Beach, VA (10.9%), Louisville, KY (10%), Baltimore (10%) and Buffalo, NY (9.4%).
