While rent growth has been continuing to follow its typical seasonal pattern, the pricing cooldown of the current off-season has outweighed the price increases of last year’s busy season, such that year-over-year rent growth is currently negative at -0.5 percent. This marks the third consecutive winter in which seasonal discounts have been notably sharper than the pre-pandemic norm. As an influx of new supply has collided with softer demand over the past two and a half years, the national median rent has gradually dipped 5 percent below its mid-2022 peak. In dollar terms, the national median rent today is $7 per month cheaper than it was one year ago and $72 per month less than in August 2022, but still remains $222 per month higher than the January 2021 level.”
