Economist’s Take:
“More than three years of increasing U.S. single-family rents and the rising costs of other goods have made many renters sensitive to the cost of living,” said CoreLogic Principal Economist Molly Boesel. “Many renters are renewing their current leases, and others who are moving are seeking lower-priced alternatives.
“For example,” Boesel added, “rents in Austin, Texas, climbed by nearly 30% from early 2020 to mid-2023 but have now posted five consecutive months of annual declines. An uptick in newly constructed, multifamily rental properties is contributing to the decrease in single-family prices in Austin, as tenants now have more options.”
