Zumper National Rent Report: April 2019
Crystal Chen
March 28, 2019
San Francisco had another record month with one bedroom rent growing $10 to reach a new peak of $3,700. Because supply continues to come onto the Bay Area market slowly, the continued net migration to the Bay Area for technology jobs has stayed strong, and the new liquidity from impending IPOs, these factors continue to push up the luxury end of the San Francisco market, driving up the overall median up as well. As we get into the spring months and the beginning of the hot moving season, we only expect this number to continue to rise.
Meanwhile, the rest of the nation had a mostly stable month. The top 10 markets had no change to the rankings and there were mostly flat monthly growth rates overall with a small handful of cities seeing change of more than 3% either up or down. Year over year growth rates saw a similar trend as the number of cities with double digit year over year growth rates have decreased substantially from previous months.
Overall, the national one bedroom rent increased 0.5% to a median of $1,214, while two bedrooms grew 0.6% to $1,445. On a year to date basis, one and two bedrooms have jumped 2.8% and 2.5%, respectively.
