The 5 Best & Worst Markets for Rental Growth as of March 2022
As we approach the end of the first quarter of 2022, it’s time to look at which rental markets are experiencing the highest and lowest rental growth.
According to the Yardi Matrix recent report, the average asking price for a one-bedroom apartment in the United States is now $1,622. This means investors are gaining on average up to 16% more than last year, though it also means that purchasing power per square foot is also on the rise. While these growth trends are great for multifamily investments, the reality is that these trends are likely to continue to level off during this current cycle.
Keep in mind that growth in the real estate industry is not uniform across markets. Some areas are seeing much higher demand than others, which means a greater chance for growth and prosperity to happen there. This is due in part to things like job availability, weather, net migration patterns, and other quality of life factors. It’s important to observe these trends as you assess your next investment opportunities. Just because a market was “hot” before, doesn’t mean that will always continue.
