While most of the top markets had another flat month, there was some movement toward the bottom of these 10 cities. Miami fell out of this group, being replaced by Santa Ana, so now 6 of the 10 most expensive rental markets are in California (again).
In the rest of the nation, less cities saw double digit growth rates than last month as we are heavily entrenched in the slow moving season. On a monthly basis, Louisville had the largest rental growth rate for one bedrooms, at 4.8%, while Columbus took the biggest rent dip, down 5.4%.
Overall, the national one bedroom median rent fell 0.4% to $1,212, while two bedrooms increased a slight 0.1% to $1,442 last month. On a year to date basis, one Bedroom Rent is down 2.5%, while two bedrooms are up 3.7%.
