Rental Competitivity in Florida in 2022: Miami & Orlando Were the Only Markets That Stayed Hot the Entire Year

Tallahassee was the eighth most competitive rental market in the Sunshine State in 2022. In fact, Tallahassee was the only Florida market that got hotter during last year's rental season. Its Rental Competitivity Score increased from 47 in the first part of the year to 79.6 during the summer months. The main reason behind this whopping change was the lack of apartment construction in the area, as the share of newly built apartments in Tallahassee remained at an extremely modest 0.8% throughout the course of 2022., not enough to meet demand from renters. Another contributing factor was the number of prospective renters competing for the same vacant apartment, which increased from 12 in the first four months of the year to 15 during the rental season. What's more, during its hottest months, the average apartment in Tallahassee became occupied in 25 days, which is eight days faster than the first part of the year.
