Rental Market Leaders Team Up to Release Q2 Rental Housing Statistics, Showing Rates up 3.3 Percent since Q1

SALT LAKE CITY - July 16, 2015 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Real Property Management, the nation’s leading property management organization, and RentRange, the nation’s leading provider of Rental Market Intelligence™, released their quarterly rental statistics, which show rental rates are rising more rapidly than U.S. inflation rates.

During the second quarter of 2015, the companies found that the average monthly rent for single-family homes now exceeds $1,320, up 3.3 percent since just last quarter and representing a 6.1 percent year-over-year increase. The rental market data was limited to three-bedroom single-family homes in the U.S.

Rental rates were up in all 10 regions analyzed. The Pacific and Northeast regions saw double digit increases in rental rates, with 11.8 percent and 11 percent year-over-year increases, respectively. The Mid-Atlantic and South-Atlantic regions showed the lowest increases with 3.1 percent and 5.2 percent increases, though the Mid-Atlantic has rental rates well above the national average, at $1,642.

“The changes in the rental market are consistent with other reports that point to a dwindling number of Americans who are choosing to own homes,” said Don Lawby, President of Property Management Business Solutions, the franchisor of Real Property Management. “We have already witnessed significant increases in rental rates through the first half of this year, and we expect those numbers to continue to climb during the second half.”

Rent increases have been accompanied by reductions in vacancy rates – the percentage of homes considered unoccupied across the U.S. The national rate fell to 5.46 percent through June, down .12 percent from a year ago. The Midwest region had the highest vacancy rate at 6.88 percent, while Texas was the lowest at 3.43 percent.

The report also analyzed rental saturation rate across the country, showing that it continues to climb and is now at 25.4 percent, compared to 23.9 percent last year. Rental saturation is the estimated percentage of rented single-family homes as a share of all single-family homes.
