Apartments.com Reports U.S. Apartment Rents Rise to $1,716 in February 2026

CoStar Group’s Apartments.com reported that U.S. apartment rents edged up 0.1% in February 2026 to a national average of $1,716, extending a modest recovery that began in December 2025. Annual rent growth slowed to 0.4% as elevated new supply continued to restrain gains, with 38 of the top 50 metros posting monthly increases led by Richmond, San Jose and Louisville. Sun Belt markets with high vacancy and heavy construction saw the weakest results, while supply-constrained metros such as San Francisco led annual growth.
