Redfin Reports Asking Rents Climb 11% in August, the Smallest Gain in a Year

Rent growth is likely to keep slowing as rising interest rates continue to cool the economy

(NASDAQ: RDFN) —U.S. asking rents climbed to a record high in August, but rent growth moderated for the third-straight month. The national median asking rent was up 11% year over year to $2,039, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. That’s the smallest annual increase in a year, down from a peak gain of 19% in March. On a month-over-month basis, the median asking rent climbed 0.4%, the slowest growth since December 2021 and down from a 1.6% increase a year earlier.

“Rent growth will likely slow further as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates. Higher interest rates impact the rental market because they put a damper on spending power in the economy as a whole, including renters’ budgets,” said Redfin Deputy Chief Economist Taylor Marr. ”Growth in rents is also likely to be slowed by a boost in rental supply. There are nearly a million rental units under construction that will hit the market in the coming months and years.”
