RENT GROWTH MAY CONTINUE TO DOWN AS RISE RATES CONTINUE TO COOLING THE ECONOMY SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(NAS DAK: RDFN) – Asking rents in the United States climbed to a record high in August, but rent growth slowed for the third straight month. The national median rent rose 11% year over year to $2,039, according to a new report from technology-driven real estate brokerage Redfin (redfin.com). It was the smallest annual increase in a year, down from a peak of 19% in March. On a month-on-month basis, median rents climbed 0.4%, the slowest increase since December 2021 and down from 1.6% a year earlier. “Rent growth is likely to slow further as the Federal Reserve continues to hike rates. Higher rates can impact the rental market because they dampen spending power across the economy, including renter budgets,” Redfin vice president Chief Economist Taylor Marr said. “Rent growth is also likely to slow due to increased rental supply. Nearly 1 million rental units under construction will enter the market in the coming months and years.”
