Redfin Reports Growth in U.S. Asking Rents Slows for Second-Straight Month

The 14% increase in July was the smallest since November as landlords reacted to shrinking tenant budgets

(NASDAQ: RDFN) — The national median asking rent was up 14% year over year to $2,032 in July, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. That’s the smallest annual increase since November, and compares with a revised gain of 15% in June and 16% in May. On a month-over-month basis, the median asking rent climbed 0.6%, the slowest growth since February and down from a 2.1% increase a year earlier.

“Big rent hikes may finally be coming to an end as landlords adjust to waning tenant budgets that are being strained by the rising cost of groceries, gas and other regular expenses,” said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather. ”Still, rents are increasing faster than overall inflation, which has started to ease. We expect rental growth to continue to slow, but markets with strong job growth and limited new housing construction, like New York and Seattle, will likely continue to experience large rent increases.”
