If you’re planning to rent a home in the near future, you may wish you could turn back the clock a few years to the time when the recession was at its peak. During that period, it was unquestionably a renter’s market. The nation’s rental-vacancy rate swelled to 8%, and landlords were scrambling to fill their investment properties. This means bigger profits for landlords.
Today, however, the pendulum has swung mightily in the other direction. By the end of 2013, the experts at Reis, Inc. predict the nation’s vacancy rate will continue to shrink and rents will increase 5-7% through the end of this year.
So what’s causing the major uptick in rentals? There are many reasons.
According to the National Association of Realtors, apartment rents rose 4.1% in 2012, and by the end of 2013 that number is expected to rise to 4.6% (source).
The bottom line is simple: Until the supply of our nation’s rental property is once again higher than the demand – which may be a long time coming – it appears that renters are going to pay a hefty price for a place to call home.
