Only 21% Of Real Estate Markets Saw Rents Decline

New Report: Average Rent Price Report

Rentometer just released their latest average rent price report (click link to download it).

Rents Don’t Always Go Up

When we do our basic modeling* we often use 3% per year as the amount that rents tend to increase each year (over a long period of time).

But rents don’t always go up. And, sometimes they go up more than 3% in a year.

Sometimes they go up 10% in a year then stabilize and remain at that level (0% growth per year) for several years while the market catches its breath.

In this report, it shows that 21% of markets had a rent decline. The runup in prices over the last few years and the higher mortgage interest rates (pushing 8% as of the time of this writing) and rent declines… can make real estate deals—at least for cash flow—feel worse than they were during the ridiculously low mortgage interest rates.
