Vacancies have climbed due to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a building boom in recent years. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/graph\/?g=1b5p0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of recently completed apartments is near its highest level in more than 30 years, and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/graph\/?g=1fQV7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under construction is just shy of its record high. Redfin Chief Economist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/darylfairweather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daryl Fairweather<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> expects apartment completions to peak in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While rents have cooled, they haven\u2019t yet posted significant declines. That\u2019s likely because high mortgage rates continue to fuel rental demand, and because some landlords are offering <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one-time concessions like a free month\u2019s rent or reduced parking costs to attract renters without having to lower asking rents on paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home prices are rising much <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-update-pending-sales-decline-mortgage-rates-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">faster<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than rents, which is also fueling rental demand and motivating renters to stay put instead of entering the housing market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s not a huge incentive for renters to buy right now. Asking rents are stable, and while mortgage rates have dipped in recent months, they haven\u2019t fallen enough to make the financial equation of homebuying feasible for many people,\u201d Fairweather said. \u201cIf you\u2019re a renter who\u2019s interested in buying but isn\u2019t in a rush, there\u2019s not much downside to waiting for mortgage rates to fall and your savings to grow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying may make sense for people who can afford a large down payment and plan to stay put for at least five years, Fairweather said. Putting 20% down helps offset the cost of elevated mortgage rates and removes the cost of private mortgage insurance, and some may prefer to buy now before competition inevitably heats up when mortgage rates fall further. Of course, many Americans can\u2019t afford a 20% down payment, though some do qualify for down payment assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rents Climb Fastest in the Midwest and Northeast<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The median asking rent in the Midwest increased 4.6% year over year to a record $1,437 in January. Rents also rose in the Northeast (2.3% to $2,427) and the West (0.6% to $2,358). In the South, rents were unchanged at $1,637.
