Respite on the Horizon: US Rent Prices Show Signs of Easing

Renters across the US, rejoice! Recent data from Realtor.com reveals a downward trend in median rent prices in May, breaking the persistent upward trajectory we've witnessed in the past years.

May's national median asking rent stood at $1,739, representing a slight monthly increase from April but, more importantly, a 0.5% dip from the previous year's May. This decline is noteworthy, marking the first of its kind since 2020, when Realtor.com started closely monitoring these trends.
