This means rents are effectively coming down in some areas even though the declines don\u2019t show up in asking-rent data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA year ago, you really didn&#8217;t see concessions in the market. Fast forward to today, and they are far more common, with landlords offering from one to three months free in an effort to attract new tenants without lowering their asking rents,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Jon Ziglar, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chief Executive Officer\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; color: #3a3a3a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rent.<\/span><\/a>, a Redfin company<span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cHigher-end properties are beginning to see pressure in certain markets as a significant portion of new units coming online are in the higher end and luxury segment. We are still seeing a lot of competition for more affordable units due to less new supply, as well as increased pressure on consumer wallets limiting the ability to stretch for that higher level experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some building owners are raising rents for existing tenants but not new tenants to bolster returns without scaring off prospective renters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though rents are hovering near their all-time high, they\u2019re no longer posting large year-over-year jumps like they were in the past two years, when rental demand was surging. In August 2022, for instance, the median asking rent was up 12.3% year over year. Rent growth has cooled over the past year due to <\/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, economic uncertainty, affordability challenges and an increase in rental supply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completed residential projects in buildings with five or more units rose 28.9% year over year in the second quarter\u2014the most recent quarter for which <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/COMPU5MUSA#0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">data<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is available. That means landlords have more vacancies to fill and less leeway to raise prices. The national rental vacancy rate was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/RRVRUSQ156N#0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.3%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the second quarter, up from 5.6% a year earlier.
