Single-Family Rents are Climbing. But Why?

Single-family renters are now facing significant rent increases.

According to the latest Single-Family Rent Index (SFRI) released by CoreLogic, U.S. single-family rent prices increased 3.2%over the past year.

Low rental home inventory contributes to the growth of single-family rent prices, the analysis noted.

“We’ve seen a slight uptick in rent prices over the past few months as strong employment growth continues,” said Molly Boesel, Principal Economist at CoreLogic.The strength stems from the low-to-middle price tier, which has seen a monthly average growth of 3.2% since January 2018.”

Markets showing rent increases over 6% from the previous year include Phoenix, Las Vegas and Orlando.

This trend is sure to continue, making the SFR market a very good investment.
