At the end of 2018, the national average rent reached $1,419, which shows a 3.1% year-over-year increase, according to apartment data from Yardi Matrix<\/a>. The largest rent increases were registered by small cities, with Odessa, TX, Midland, TX, and Reno, NV the top three with the biggest jump in rents. Overall, only 8 out of 250 cities analyzed nationwide saw decreases in rent in last year, just 2 of which saw drops larger than 1%, Baton Rouge, LA,\u00a0and College Station in Texas.<\/p>\n

In Ohio, the overall growth trend for rental apartments mirrors the national trend. Although all six largest cities in the state featured rent increases this year, rent prices jumped the highest in Toledo, by 6% compared to 2017 prices. Toledo\u2019s economic development outpaced that of Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati in 2017, and its impact was felt in 2018 in the price of rents, among other things. As more jobs are created, the demand for housing rises as well, and with that prices grow. Rents in Cleveland and Columbus also rose faster than the national average rate of 3.1%, with rents rising 3.8% and 3.6% respectively, compared to last year. The price of apartments in Dayton and Akron have increased the least over the past year.<\/p>\n

RentCafe<\/a>\u00a0is a nationwide apartment search website that enables renters to easily find apartments and houses for rent throughout the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n

To compile this report, RentCafe\u2019s research team analyzed rent data across the 252 largest cities in the US. The report is exclusively based on apartment data related to buildings containing 50 or more units. Our report includes cities with populations over 100,000 and a rental stock of at least 2,900 apartments in 50+ unit buildings.<\/em><\/p>\n

In this report, large cities are cities with a population of 600,000 people or more, mid-sized cities are cities with a population between 300,000 and 600,000, and small cities are cities with a population of less than 300,000.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rent data was provided by\u00a0Yardi Matrix<\/a>, a business development and asset management tool for brokers, sponsors, banks and equity sources underwriting investments in the multifamily, office, industrial and self-storage sectors. Rental rate coverage is for Market Rate properties only. Fully Affordable properties are not included in the Yardi Matrix rental surveys and are not reported in rental rate averages.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
