Rent Inflation Trends and Market Dynamics

Rent inflation remains high, with costs up over 5% compared to a year ago, running above pre-pandemic norms. Renewals are driving significant increases, particularly in multifamily housing at 4-5% and even higher rates for single-family rentals. Market rents have not risen as steeply for new leases due to lower mobility, contributing to landlords having significant pricing power.
