CoStar Group Inc.'s Apartments.com has released its December 2025 multifamily rent growth report, revealing a modest uptick in national apartment rents after five months of flat or negative changes. The national average rent rose to $1,708, a 0.1% monthly increase, while annual growth eased to 0.66%. The report notes that markets with high levels of new construction experienced weaker rent performance, whereas supply-constrained areas in the Midwest and select coastal regions continued to see stronger growth. The Midwest led regional growth with a 0.12% monthly increase and a 2.2% annual rise, while the West posted a slight decline. San Francisco topped metro-level annual rent growth at 5.9%, while markets like Austin, Denver, and San Antonio saw declines due to oversupply. Despite some improvement, a lingering inventory overhang continues to weigh on rent growth nationwide.
