Some have already moved into their next home, and are renting their previous home out to cash in on still-high rents and continue building equity on a house with a relatively low mortgage payment. The average 30-year-fixed mortgage rate is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freddiemac.com\/pmms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.8%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, up from 5.09% a year ago and a record low of 2.65% in January 2021. The average monthly payment is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-update-new-listings-lowest-level-on-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$320<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> higher than it was at this time last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201dMany homeowners are deciding that instead of selling, they\u2019re going to renovate their current home or rent it out while they wait for the market to improve,\u201d said <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/david-m-orr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Orr<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/premier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin Premier<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> real estate agent in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/16409\/CA\/Sacramento\/apartments-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sacramento, CA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some homeowners are likely waiting for housing prices to bounce back so they can make a larger profit when they do sell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental supply has also increased because America has been building more multifamily housing. Completed residential projects in buildings with five or more units rose 24.2% year over year on a seasonally adjusted basis to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/COMPU5MUSA\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">400,000<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in April\u2014the most recent month for which data is available.

Permits, or approvals given by local jurisdictions to start construction projects, are a leading indicator of what\u2019s happening in the housing market. Completions are a lagging indicator. Still, there remains a backlog of under-construction rentals that have yet to hit the market, meaning rents likely still have room to fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, rents have eased because fewer people are moving due to economic uncertainty, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-01-13\/us-household-formation-late-last-year-seen-slowing-further?sref=fRZXrT1O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slowing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> household formation, still-high rental prices in many markets, and the rising cost of other goods and services due to inflation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While asking rents fell from a year earlier in May, they were still only 2.8% below their August peak of $2,053, meaning many renters are still taking on high rents. That isn\u2019t the case in every market, though; in areas where rents are cooling more, renters are more likely to get deals and concessions from landlords.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rents Are Falling in the West, Rising in the Northeast<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the West, the median asking rent fell 2.1% year over year to $2,409 in May. That\u2019s the only region Redfin analyzed that saw an annual decline. Asking rents rose 5.4% to $2,495 in the Northeast, 4.9% to $1,406 in the Midwest and 0.8% to $1,663 in the South.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-3-1024x707.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-3-1024x707.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-3-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-3-768x530.png 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-3.png 1302w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rents are cooling fastest in the West and South in part because they rose so much during the pandemic as scores of people moved into places including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/14240\/AZ\/Phoenix\/apartments-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phoenix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11458\/FL\/Miami\/apartments-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miami<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Now, rents in those regions have relatively more room to fall as supply catches up with demand. Rent growth has been steadier in the Midwest, which is home to many relatively affordable markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The West is also seeing rents decelerate quickly because it is building a lot of multifamily housing, which means landlords in some areas are grappling with rising vacancies. There were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/graph\/?g=15VTj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">440,000<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> new non single family homes completed in the West in the first quarter, compared with roughly 200,000 in each of the other three U.S. regions. Expensive West Coast tech hubs like Seattle and San Francisco may also be experiencing rent declines due to remote work and tech layoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-4-1024x707.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-4-1024x707.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-4-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-4-768x530.png 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rent-chart-4.png 1302w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Methodology<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking price data includes single-family homes, multi-family units, condos\/co-ops and townhouses from <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/rent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rent.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/redfin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin has removed metro-level data from monthly rental reports for the time being as it works to expand its rental analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prices reflect the current costs of new leases during each time period.
