No they won’t. Rental rates may flatten out or even fall slightly, but it will not be some sort of benefit for renters. The vacancy rates are still far too low for that in most cities.
Yeah, with vacancy rates being so low the rates flattening seems to be an indication that landlords have squeezed almost as much rent as tenants can bear.
If milk shot up to $15/g before flatlining I wouldn’t think that the cost would soon decrease, but rather that nobody would buy $16 milk.
My rent’s going up $275/mo in September, so I sure hope this gets under control soon.
Nope, not until we have social housing making it’s return. There are a lot more vacant homes than there are homeless people.
Typical WSJ. Rents stopped skyrocketing, so renters have the upper hand. Like it’s a surprise that there is a limit to what people can afford to pay?
