"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'm not from Miami but I'm Floridian and I feel you. Even the small suburban commuter towns have gotten as expensive as some of the semi-walkable metro cities here. It would actually be more expensive for me to move back to my hometown than it would be to stay where I am and get a rent increase with my next renewal since the prices are almost the same. Moving costs + more gas + more car mileage since I'd have to drive 45min+ just to get to work and places I actually want to be.
