In July, the typical U.S. asking rent increased by 2.3% year-over-year to $1,962, marking the fastest annual growth in over a year, driven by strong rental demand and a slowdown in new apartment supply. Despite rising rents, nearly 40% of listings still offer concessions, a remnant of the recent construction boom, especially in markets like Charlotte, Denver, and Dallas. The gap between rental affordability and homeownership costs has widened, keeping many potential buyers in the rental market. Single-family home rents grew faster than multifamily units, and as new apartment supply tightens, concessions are expected to decrease gradually while rent growth continues.
