The median for apartments in March was $1384 – $1216 for units with one bedroom and $1370 for those with two bedrooms. The national rate is down 0.4% since March 2024.

In certain markets, the increase in supply has contributed to the downward trend in national median rental prices. This factor has also pushed up vacancy rates and increased the time it takes for landlords fill vacant units.

Apartment List analysts stated in a March 27th national update that the downward trend is about to change. The results year-over-year are “slowly reversing back into positive territory.”

Rent growth has now been positive in a majority (59 out of 100) of large cities. Our national index is still negative, primarily due to the steeper declines experienced by a small group of Sun Belt metros which are rapidly increasing their multifamily stock. These include Austin (-6.3% over the past year), Denver (-5%) & Raleigh (-2.9 %).”

According to the report, despite the cooling down of the in the country since the end of 2022, rent prices are still 20% higher than they were in January 2021.
