In fact, within the top 50 metros only 294,000 multifamily units were permitted in 2024, which is well below the 318,000 units permitted at the peak of the pandemic in 2020.\n\n  \n\n\"During the pandemic, rent prices surged significantly. While there has been a gradual correction, the current trend of declining rents over the past 19 months and a still-sizable number of multi-family units under construction have impacted builders' enthusiasm for new projects,\" said Danielle Hale, Chief Economist of Realtor.com®. \"The nation is short 3.8 million homes according to Realtor.com® research. As builders attempt to right-size their construction pipelines amid shifting economic and policy cross currents, multifamily builders nationwide have made headway, evidenced by vacancy rates trending up. Still, the shortfall varies by market and region. The low level of permitting for multifamily housing, particularly in markets where rents are still climbing, may become a catalyst for future rent growth.\"\nWhen Supply is in a Pinch, Rent Will RiseIn hot markets where demand is high, and rent is already growing, low levels of multifamily housing permitting will cause further supply constraints and could make rents go up even higher in the future. For nine of the top 50 metros, multifamily permitting was lower than recent history in 2024, and these places experienced a rise in rent, including New York, N.Y., Kansas City, Mo., and Detroit, Mich.\n\n\n\n\nHot Markets Where Rent is Poised To Grow as Permits Decline \n\n\nMetro \nRent Increase YoY \nMultifamily Permits vs  5-year Baseline \n\n\nNew York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-N.J. \n6.80 % \n-9.50 % \n\n\nKansas City, M.O.-Kan. \n6.00 % \n-6.00 % \n\n\nDetroit-Warren-Dearborn, Mich. \n3.60 % \n-11.60 % \n\n\nWashington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md-W.Va. \n3.30 % \n-35.00 % \n\n\nSan Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. \n1.30 % \n-51.00 % \n\n\nBaltimore-Columbia-Towson, Md. \n1.20 % \n-22.60 % \n\n\nBoston-Cambridge-Newton, Mass.-N.H. \n0.70 % \n-22.30 % \n\n\nSt. Louis, Mo.-Ill. \n0.30 % \n-27.30 % \n\n\nCharlotte-Concord-Gastonia, N.C.-S.C. \n0.20 % \n-19.00 % \n\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, nine of the top 50 metros saw more multifamily permitting in 2024 than over the previous five years and experienced rent price declines YoY including Birmingham, Ala. where rent declined 5.4% YoY, and multifamily building permits grew by 22.10% from the average of the previous five years, Cincinnati, Ohio, where rent declined 3.3% while multifamily building permits grew 29.9%, and Cleveland, Ohio where rents declined 3.0% YoY, and multifamily building permits grew 37.9% from the average of the previous five years. In these metros, multifamily supply growth will put further downward pressure on rent.\nFederal Layoffs Haven't Affected Rent Prices…YetWhile data shows changes starting to happen in the for-sale markets of the major metros where federal employment is high, the rental shifts in these markets are relatively varied and show no meaningful changes, yet. Within the five major metros with the highest concentration of federally-employed workers rent is up 3.3% year-over-year in Washington D.C. with modest pick-up in Oklahoma City, Okla. (+2.0%) and Baltimore, Md. (+1.25%). In San Diego, Calif. however, rent experienced a sharp decline of 6% from a year ago, while also softening in Virginia Beach, Va. (-1.5%).\nLarger Rental Units Maintain Demand as Renters Stay PutAs fewer renters turn into first-time home buyers, demand for larger rental units remains high, with 2-bedroom units seeing the most long-term rent growth over the last five years, at 18.3%. That's compared to 1-bedroom units, which grew 14.3%, and studio units, which experienced the least rent growth, at 9.7%, in the same time frame.\nWhile studio units tend to experience more volatility in activity, this month rent growth for studio units dipped slightly at -0.8% YoY, more closely matching the year-over-year growth of one and two bedroom units, which both respectively experienced -0.7% dips in February 2025.\n\n\n\n\nNational Rental Data – February 2025 \n\n\nUnit Size \nMedian Rent \nRent YoY \nRent Change - 5 Years \n\n\nOverall \n$1,691 \n-0.9 % \n14.4 % \n\n\nStudio \n$1,413 \n-0.8 % \n9.7 % \n\n\n1-Bedroom \n$1,583 \n-0.7 % \n14.3 % \n\n\n2-Bedroom \n$1,887 \n-0.7 % \n18.3 % \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n50 Largest Metropolitan Areas – February 2025 \n\n\nMetro \nMedian Rent (0-2 BR) \nYoY Change (0-2 BR) \nMultifamily Units Permitted 2024 \nMultifamily Units Permitted vs 5-year Baseline \n\n\nAtlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Ga. \n1,573 \n-2.6 % \n13937 \n31.5 % \n\n\nAustin-Round Rock-San Marcos, Texas \n1,462 \n-4.8 % \n15008 \n-26.5 % \n\n\nBaltimore-Columbia-Towson, Md. \n1,795 \n1.2 % \n2425 \n-22.6 % \n\n\nBirmingham, Ala. \n1,165 \n-5.4 % \n556 \n22.1 % \n\n\nBoston-Cambridge-Newton, Mass-N.H. \n2,936 \n0.7 % \n7022 \n-22.3 % \n\n\nBuffalo-Cheektowaga, N.Y. \nNA \nNA \n563 \n18.2 % \n\n\nCharlotte-Concord-Gastonia, N.C.-S.C. \n1,520 \n0.2 % \n6847 \n-19.0 % \n\n\nChicago-Naperville-Elgin, Ill.-Ind. \n1,776 \n-2.1 % \n7403 \n1.4 % \n\n\nCincinnati, Ohio-Ky.-Ind. \n1,293 \n-3.3 % \n2534 \n29.9 % \n\n\nCleveland, Ohio \n1,170 \n-3.0 % \n720 \n37.9 % \n\n\nColumbus, Ohio \n1,198 \n1.1 % \n7195 \n32.7 % \n\n\nDallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas \n1,461 \n-2.0 % \n22912 \n-6.6 % \n\n\nDenver-Aurora-Centennial, Colo. \n1,773 \n-6.4 % \n6505 \n-41.8 % \n\n\nDetroit-Warren-Dearborn, Mich. \n1,320 \n3.6 % \n2023 \n-11.6 % \n\n\nHartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, Conn. \nNA \nNA \n1488 \n89.2 % \n\n\nHouston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, Texas \n1,368 \n-0.9 % \n11520 \n-44.3 % \n\n\nIndianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood, Ind. \n1,284 \n-2.1 % \n2314 \n-32.5 % \n\n\nJacksonville, Fla. \n1,508 \n-1.3 % \n1753 \n-69.6 % \n\n\nKansas City, Mo.-Kan. \n1,370 \n6.0 % \n3663 \n-6.0 % \n\n\nLas Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, Nev. \n1,448 \n-2.4 % \n2301 \n-29.7 % \n\n\nLos Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif. \n2,715 \n-2.5 % \n13265 \n-25.7 % \n\n\nLouisville/Jefferson County, Ky.-Ind. \n1,223 \n-1.2 % \n1854 \n-10.0 % \n\n\nMemphis, Tenn.-Miss.-Ark. \n1,184 \n-1.4 % \n1089 \n39.5 % \n\n\nMiami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, Fla. \n2,319 \n-2.2 % \n10035 \n-28.6 % \n\n\nMilwaukee-Waukesha, Wis. \n1,642 \n1.3 % \n1884 \n101.3 % \n\n\nMinneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, Minn.-Wis. \n1,498 \n-0.2 % \n5055 \n-59.6 % \n\n\nNashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, Tenn. \n1,525 \n-1.7 % \n5384 \n-52.0 % \n\n\nNew Orleans-Metairie, La. \nNA \nNA \n287 \n-47.3 % \n\n\nNew York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-N.J. \n2,977 \n6.8 % \n42230 \n-9.5 % \n\n\nOklahoma City, Okla. \n1,027 \n2.0 % \n581 \n90.4 % \n\n\nOrlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla. \n1,673 \n0.0 % \n8210 \n-18.8 % \n\n\nPhiladelphia-Camden-Wilmington, Penn.-N.J.-Del.-Md. \n1,751 \n-0.3 % \n5054 \n-49.4 % \n\n\nPhoenix-Mesa-Chandler, Ariz. \n1,492 \n-3.1 % \n13577 \n-13.9 % \n\n\nPittsburgh, Penn. \n1,440 \n0.6 % \n1738 \n2.3 % \n\n\nPortland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, Ore-Wash. \n1,649 \n-2.7 % \n2696 \n-58.5 % \n\n\nProvidence-Warwick, R.I.-Mass. \nNA \nNA \n656 \n175.4 % \n\n\nRaleigh-Cary, N.C. \n1,458 \n-3.5 % \n5574 \n-12.8 % \n\n\nRichmond, Va. \n1,477 \n0.0 % \n3408 \n-14.0 % \n\n\nRiverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. \n2,071 \n-3.6 % \n3012 \n-20.9 % \n\n\nRochester, N.Y. \nNA \nNA \n750 \n-8.9 % \n\n\nSacramento-Roseville-Folsom, Calif. \n1,883 \n-0.2 % \n2701 \n-8.2 % \n\n\nSan Antonio-New Braunfels, Texas \n1,240 \n-1.3 % \n3803 \n-54.1 % \n\n\nSan Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, Calif. \n2,667 \n-6.0 % \n7244 \n18.8 % \n\n\nSan Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif. \n2,678 \n-3.3 % \n2929 \n-60.4 % \n\n\nSan Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. \n3,300 \n1.3 % \n1886 \n-51.0 % \n\n\nSeattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. \n1,957 \n-0.8 % \n9880 \n-36.1 % \n\n\nSt. Louis, Mo.-Ill. \n1,304 \n0.3 % \n1821 \n-27.3 % \n\n\nTampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. \n1,739 \n-0.4 % \n7545 \n-9.0 % \n\n\nVirginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk, Va.-N.C. \n1,487 \n-1.5 % \n1250 \n-42.8 % \n\n\nWashington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C-Va.-Md.-W.Va. \n2,283 \n3.3 % \n9680 \n-35.0 % \n\n\n\n\nMethodologyRental data as of January 2025 for studio, 1-bedroom, or 2-bedroom units advertised as for-rent on Realtor.com.
