The national median monthly mortgage payment for homebuyers climbed at about the same annual rate\u201420%\u2014but rose just 1% from October. Rapidly increasing housing costs are a big contributor to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/12\/10\/consumer-price-index-november-2021.html\">overall inflation, which hit 6.8% in November, its highest level since 1982<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst inflation came for the for-sale housing market, and now it is coming for the rental market,\u201d said Redfin Chief Economist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/darylfairweather\/\">Daryl Fairweather<\/a>. \u201cMany people have been priced out of the for-sale market and are looking to rent instead, but that demand is pushing up rents. Anyone who bought a home before this year can pat themselves on the back because their mortgage payments are fixed, meaning their biggest recurring expense is immune to inflation. If you are looking to buy or rent now, there\u2019s nowhere to hide from inflation when it comes to housing costs. The good news is that the tight labor market means it\u2019s a great time to move somewhere more affordable. Chances are good that no matter where you go, you\u2019ll be able to find a new job relatively quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Rental Market Summary<\/th>\n<th>November 2021<\/th>\n<th>Month-Over-Month<\/th>\n<th>Year-Over-Year<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Average Monthly Rent<\/td>\n<td>$1,985<\/td>\n<td>6.8%<\/td>\n<td>20.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Median Monthly Mortgage Payment for Homebuyers w\/ 5% down payment<\/td>\n<td>$1,551<\/td>\n<td>1.1%<\/td>\n<td>19.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-73578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-YOY_2021-11.png\" alt=\"Rents and Homebuyer Mortgage Payments Both Up Over 20% From 2020\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-YOY_2021-11.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-YOY_2021-11-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-YOY_2021-11-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-YOY_2021-11-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Rent-price increases outpaced mortgage payment increases for new homebuyers in 19 of the 50 largest metro areas in the U.S. during November.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-73577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-11.png\" alt=\"Rents Rose Sharply in November\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-11.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-11-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-11-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Redfin_rent-vs-buy-history_2021-11-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Rents are Up Over 30% In Many Major Metro Areas<\/h3>\n<p>The 10 metro areas with the biggest increases in rent prices\u2014up 28% year over year or more\u2014were almost exclusively in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/state\/Florida\/apartments-for-rent\">Florida<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/state\/New-York\/apartments-for-rent\">New York<\/a>.

\/>\n<h3>Methodology<\/h3>\n<p>Redfin&#8217;s rent-versus-own analysis uses data from more than 20,000 apartment buildings across the US. 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>Redfin analyzed home sales data from the MLS, and public records and rent prices from RentPath, across the 50 largest metro areas in the US. 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/517\/CA\/&lt;a href=\">Anaheim<\/a>&#8220;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/517\/CA\/Anaheim\">Anaheim<\/a> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/517\/CA\/&lt;a href=\">Anaheim<\/a>&#8220;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/517\/CA\/Anaheim\">Anaheim<\/a> was only for homes that sold during the month of August 2021, not for all homeowners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Increase in rents outpaced the increase in the monthly cost of buying a
