The report combines rental data on all sizes of apartments for rent with home sales data on all residential home sales (single-family, townhouse and condos) from public records and the multiple listing service (MLS). When this report refers to the median mortgage payment for new homebuyers, it is based on a 5% down payment, the median sale price during the month and the average mortgage interest rate for the month. The report uses a 5% down payment in order to be comparable to what an average renter may be able to reasonably achieve in savings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-73277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-09.png\" alt=\"Rents and Homebuyer Mortgage Payments Both Rising Sharply in 2021\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-09.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-09-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-09-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-09-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Rents are rising the fastest in Florida<\/h3>\n<p>The metro areas with the biggest increases in rent prices were clustered in southern Florida where people have been flocking to escape more expensive metros in the northeast, but some expensive cities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/16163\/WA\/Seattle\/apartments-for-rent\">Seattle<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\/apartments-for-rent\">New York<\/a> were also in the top 10.

Florida also has some of the highest climate risks in the country from sea-level rise, storms and heat. So renting may be particularly attractive to residents who don\u2019t want to make a long-term bet on the Florida housing market.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Top 10 Metro Areas With Fastest-Rising Rents<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/6173\/FL\/Fort-Lauderdale\/apartments-for-rent\">Fort Lauderdale, FL<\/a> (+36%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11458\/FL\/Miami\/apartments-for-rent\">Miami, FL<\/a> (+36%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/19373\/FL\/West-Palm-Beach\/apartments-for-rent\">West Palm Beach, FL<\/a> (+36%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/18142\/FL\/Tampa\/apartments-for-rent\">Tampa, FL<\/a> (+34%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/16163\/WA\/Seattle\/apartments-for-rent\">Seattle, WA<\/a> (+27%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/county\/1974\/NY\/Nassau-County\/apartments-for-rent\">Nassau County, NY<\/a> (+27%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/13201\/NJ\/New-Brunswick\/apartments-for-rent\">New Brunswick, NJ<\/a> (+27%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\/apartments-for-rent\">New York, NY<\/a> (+27%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/13136\/NJ\/Newark\/apartments-for-rent\">Newark, NJ<\/a> (+27%)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/13655\/FL\/Orlando\/apartments-for-rent\">Orlando, FL<\/a> (+26%)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Only Pittsburgh saw rents decline<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15702\/PA\/Pittsburgh\/apartments-for-rent\">Pittsburgh, PA<\/a> (-1%)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Only one metro area saw a decrease in rent in September compared to a year earlier: Rents fell 1% in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15702\/PA\/Pittsburgh\/apartments-for-rent\">Pittsburgh, PA<\/a>.

Monthly rental prices in this report are not directly comparable to monthly homebuyer mortgage payments, since the mix of homes available to rent and the mix of homes being purchased differ in location, size and quality of home within each metro area. For example, most of the homes being purchased may be in the less expensive suburbs of the metropolitan area, while the apartments being rented may be closer to the more expensive city core.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to note that the prices in this report reflect the current costs of new leases and new mortgages during each time period. In other words, the average rent of $3,343 in the Anaheim metro area is not the average of what all renters are paying, but the average cost of apartments that were available for new renters during August 2021. Likewise, the median monthly mortgage payment of $3,570 in Anaheim was only for homes that sold during the month of August 2021, not for all homeowners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rents were up 11%, the fastest annual growth in at least two years;
