This means renters will eventually have fewer apartments to choose from, which could embolden landlords to boost rents\u2014though that may not happen until well into next year because a lot of apartments built during the pandemic are still coming on the market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the pandemic moving frenzy, apartments were filling up at record speed due to soaring demand, which drove up rents. To help meet that demand, builders ramped up construction, which led to more vacancies and lower rents. The rental vacancy rate for buildings with five or more units ended 2024 at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/housing\/hvs\/data\/histtab3.xlsx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8.2%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 the highest level since the start of 2021. The median U.S. asking rent is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/rental-tracker-february-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$1,607<\/a>, up 0.4% year over year but roughly $100 below its record high. While rents are no longer falling like they were in 2023, the small increases they\u2019re posting are a far cry from the double-digit growth seen during the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Studio apartments are filling up faster than last year<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The absorption rate for apartments completed in the third quarter was roughly the same across bedroom types: around 50%. With the exception of studio apartments, all bedroom types were absorbed at a slower pace than a year earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Half (50%) of studio apartments completed during the third quarter were rented within three months, up from 42% a year earlier. Meanwhile, the absorption fell to 49% from 54% for 1-bedroom apartments, fell to 50% from 51% for 2-bedroom apartments, and fell to 51% from 56% for 3+-bedroom apartments. The market for studio apartments may be holding up relatively well because there aren\u2019t as many available; completions of all other bedroom types posted double-digit increases in the third quarter, while completions of studios only rose 0.4%.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><b>Apartments completed in Q3 2024<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>YoY change in apartments completed<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Absorption rate for apartments completed in Q3 2024<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>YoY change in absorption rate\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Median asking rent of new apartments (Q4 2024)<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>YoY change in median asking rent for new apartments<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Studio<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7,739<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.4%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 ppts<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,601<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-0.3%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>1 bedroom<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">69,440<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">78.8%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">49%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-5 ppts<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,619<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-0.5%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>2 bedrooms<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">57,770<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">85.6%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-1 ppt<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$2,005<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.9%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>3+ bedrooms<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8,666<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20.9%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">51%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-5 ppts<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$2,362<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-5.1%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that absorption rate data by bedroom type is not seasonally adjusted.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just 47% of newly-built apartments completed in Q3 were rented within three months as a record number of new apartments hit the market.
