Redfin Reports Rents Rose 7.8% in October—Slowest Growth in 14 Months

Eleven major metros saw declines, with the largest drops in Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Baltimore

(NASDAQ: RDFN) — The median U.S. asking rent in October rose 7.8% year over year to $1,983, the smallest annual increase since August 2021, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

October marked the second-straight month of single-digit rent growth following roughly a year of double-digit gains. It was also the fifth-consecutive month in which annual rent growth decelerated, with rents rising at about half the pace they were six months earlier. Rents declined 0.9% on a month-over-month basis.

“Demand for rentals is slowing because economic uncertainty is prompting many renters to stay put, and persistent inflation is shrinking renter budgets. That’s causing rent growth to cool,” said Redfin Deputy Chief Economist Taylor Marr. “There are signs that inflation is starting to ease, but it will likely be a while before renters see meaningful relief given that rents are still up more than wages.”
