Rental Market Tracker: Rents Drop to Lowest Level in a Year
www.redfin.com
The median U.S. asking rent posted its smallest annual gain since May 2021 as landlords grappled with rising vacancies.

"landlords grapple with vacancies" NOOOOOOO, won't someone think of the heck'in landlordorinos??? :rage-cry:

Before you get your hopes too high, rents are still way up from pre-covid and depending on where you live in the USA your local rents could have actually kept increasing. It might take a full blown recession to see prices go back to a somewhat sane level.

My local median rent is over $2k and I make $15/hr haha. :mao-shining:

    I feel your pain :agony-shivering: I've gotten like at least a $1.50 raise over the last two years and I'm making $19/hour yet somehow I am still spending like 65% of my monthly pay in rent hahahahaha :mao-clap:

      You're getting raises? :agony-minion:

      My recession-proof corp banned any raises for the last 2 years "due to covid". If they didn't bring back OT pay and let us work hybrid I literally wouldn't be able to afford working there.
