By comparison, rents were <i>up<\/i> 17.5% one year earlier, in March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe median asking rent in March was unchanged from February. It remained $322 higher (19.9%) than it was at the onset of the pandemic three years earlier, though wages increased at roughly the same pace during this time.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cRents are falling, but it feels more like they\u2019re just returning to normal, which is healthy to some degree,\u201d said <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Freal-estate-agents%2Fdaniel-close&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Dan+Close&amp;index=3&amp;md5=d3d3c8ff749dd4964d62d162f65ce6fa\">Dan Close<\/a>, a Redfin real estate agent in Chicago, where the median asking rent in March was 9.2% lower than it was a year earlier. \u201cIt\u2019s similar to the cost of eggs. You can say egg prices are plummeting, but what\u2019s really happening is they\u2019re finally making their way back to the $3 norm instead of $5 or $6. Rents ballooned during the pandemic, and are now returning to earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nRents surged during the past two years because incomes increased and household formation rose as more millennials started families. But household formation is now slowing, partly because many people are opting to stay put rather than move during a time of economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rents Drop Due to Supply Glut, Inflation, Economic Uncertainty<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRents declined from a year earlier in March largely due to a surplus of supply resulting from the pandemic homebuilding boom. The number of multifamily units that went under construction and the number completed each rose to the second highest level in more than three decades in February, the latest month for which data is available. Completed residential projects in buildings with five or more units jumped 72% year over year on a seasonally-adjusted basis to 509,000, the highest level since 1987 with the exception of February 2019. Started projects in buildings with five or more units rose 14.3% to 608,000, the highest level since 1986 with the exception of April 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe short-term rental market is in a similar situation. The Airbnb market is oversaturated with supply and authorities are imposing tougher restrictions on hosts in some areas, driving some owners to lower rents or sell, according to Redfin agents.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe overall rental market is also cooling because still-high rental costs, inflation, rising unemployment and recession fears are causing rental demand to ease. Rental vacancies are on the rise, prompting some landlords to cut rents and\/or offer concessions like discounted parking.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rents Declined in 13 Major U.S. Metro Areas<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"bwlistdecimal\">\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F30818%2FTX%2FAustin&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Austin%2C+TX&amp;index=4&amp;md5=71a0f9bcb09f2341875e59b551ce9a0f\">Austin, TX<\/a> (-11%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F29470%2FIL%2FChicago&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Chicago%2C+IL&amp;index=5&amp;md5=10f7ffa028ae13ce4e88a5f73e659c61\">Chicago, IL<\/a> (-9.2%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F14233%2FLA%2FNew-Orleans&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=New+Orleans%2C+LA&amp;index=6&amp;md5=c78d1a7225decbdcac85b8ea9ac48e6c\">New Orleans, LA<\/a> (-3%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F1823%2FAL%2FBirmingham&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Birmingham%2C+AL&amp;index=7&amp;md5=07171626a33dfd14563422f2bd1da0e0\">Birmingham, AL<\/a> (-2.9%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F3879%2FOH%2FCincinnati&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Cincinnati%2C+OH&amp;index=8&amp;md5=350639e9b181cda0757cb7c1fc76738c\">Cincinnati, OH <\/a>(-2.9%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F16409%2FCA%2FSacramento&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Sacramento%2C+CA&amp;index=9&amp;md5=cbc11f360bfde04d894aa8eeefeae440\">Sacramento, CA<\/a> (-2.8%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F10201%2FNV%2FLas-Vegas&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Las+Vegas%2C+NV&amp;index=10&amp;md5=317dacc036eb0f764c5eb502ae72135c\">Las Vegas, NV<\/a> (-2.4%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F30756%2FGA%2FAtlanta&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Atlanta%2C+GA&amp;index=11&amp;md5=e741aa601c229740e69ada01cd9a045d\">Atlanta, GA<\/a> (-2.3%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F14240%2FAZ%2FPhoenix&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Phoenix%2C+AZ&amp;index=12&amp;md5=88a9206f3902fcb65dc51393c8860128\">Phoenix, AZ<\/a> (-2.1%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F1073%2FMD%2FBaltimore&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Baltimore%2C+MD&amp;index=13&amp;md5=adf0696763ac5ad22a0314c324ed3242\">Baltimore, MD<\/a> (-2%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F10943%2FMN%2FMinneapolis&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Minneapolis%2C+MN&amp;index=14&amp;md5=97d9a8eeaa70ecb5f8ef1075c9c215a6\">Minneapolis, MN<\/a> (-1.6%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F8903%2FTX%2FHouston&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Houston%2C+TX&amp;index=15&amp;md5=2e550e9a512e0e9648727b725724a325\">Houston, TX<\/a> (-1.5%)\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F16657%2FTX%2FSan-Antonio&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=San+Antonio%2C+TX&amp;index=16&amp;md5=d425cf2cbfee2c5eff12c130acd965f7\">San Antonio, TX<\/a> (-1.3%)\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\n\u201cA lot of people in Chicago became landlords during the pandemic,\u201d Close said. \u201cSome were looking to cash in on soaring rents.

While investors have since pumped the brakes on purchases, they haven\u2019t cut rents,\u201d Bowers said. \u201cDemand for rentals rose in part because skyrocketing housing prices pushed homeownership out of reach for many families. Elevated mortgage rates over the last year-and-a-half have also priced buyers out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe average 30-year-fixed mortgage rate is now 6.27%, down from a fall peak of 7.08%, but up from 5% in April 2022, which has sent the typical homebuyer\u2019s monthly payment up by nearly $300 from a year ago. While home prices have started falling on a year-over-year basis, they remain more than 30% higher than they were when the pandemic started.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo view the full report, including charts, full metro-level breakouts and methodology, please visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fnews%2Fredfin-rental-report-march-2023&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fnews%2Fredfin-rental-report-march-2023&amp;index=28&amp;md5=cfa72a664f351d9f8aecf373be436fbd\">https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/redfin-rental-report-march-2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>About Redfin<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRedfin (<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2F&amp;esheet=53381150&amp;newsitemid=20230414005076&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.redfin.com&amp;index=29&amp;md5=692f8b6e2ffb87a7ff97e5b4a9df4a71\">www.redfin.com<\/a>) is a technology-powered real estate company.
