【Zillow】Mortgage rate volatility drives single-family rent growth, while multifamily moderates (December 2024 Rental Market Report)

December saw softer than seasonally expected rent growth across the country, following several months of rent growth returning to its pre-pandemic norm. The typical asking rent for the entire pool of rental properties across the U.S. was $1,965 in December, just 3.4% higher than the year before. Prior to the pandemic, average rent growth was about 4%. The effects of the pandemic boom remain though, as rents now sit 10% above where they would have been if the 4% growth trend had persisted through the past 5 years.

【Zillow】Inventory continues to climb, giving buyers more options (December 2024 Market Report)

Buyers should expect less competition for homes than in recent years as housing inventory continues to trend closer to long-term norms from before the pandemic. The number of homes on the market nationwide in December was just under 1 million — more than in any December since 2019. The available pool of existing homes is now 25% below 2018–2019 averages for this time of year, far from the 37% shortfall of January 2024 or the record deficit of 51% seen in February 2022. Rising inventory also points to softer price growth ahead.
