An increasing number of Americans have managed to admit that they may not be able to afford to buy the suburban idyllic home of their dreams at any time soon – so instead, they are choosing to rent one.
In recent years, the supply of rental properties in the suburbs surrounding many large meters has increased, by new construction and changes in ownership “which means that the houses once occupied by the owners have been rented to tenants.
The top economist of Realtor.comâ® Jake Crimmel analyzed data from the latest American community survey between 23 € 23 and found that the growth of peripheral rents could be seen in Metros who saw a boom in new construction, such as Austin, TX, Nashville, and Denver, as in cities with low -level building, among them Boston, Washington, DC.
Perhaps startling, Metros with fast groups saw dramatic growth in occupied rented homes.
Bastrop District, TX, located about 30 miles from Austin city center, saw the number of rental properties flowing nearly 50% from 2018 to 2023. During the same period, near Williamson County added 46% more houses for Ren, followed by Hays County with 25% and Travis County.
Brad Pauly, a mediator of Austin and owner of Pauly Presley Realty, tells Realtor.com that there are currently more tenants than buyers in the local housing market.
“Due to the inconsistency between what would rented against to buy, the lead has become a more financially attractive opportunity,” he says.
Numerous factors are after this change, according to Pauly, including raised levels of deaths in the high range of 6%, which are keeping buyers on the borders, as well as the spread of rental properties purchased for that specific purposes.
Moreover, Pauly notes that a large number of homeowners in the suburbs had initially planned to sell, but ultimately chose to rent their homes in light of the soft market conditions.
Crimmel confirms that the housing market analysis reflects what Pauly saw first hand in Austin.
“In general, the suburbs have flourished during and after the pandemia, the second in the most part for people want more space and also because the generation of millennia had begun to calm down and start families,” he explains. “With all this question for the suburbs, we saw many new construction activities there.”
Nashville has seen a similar trend, with the rental number in Williamson District growing 25% in five years. Meanwhile, Rutherford County and Davidson County saw a 16% and 15% increase, respectively.
On the eastern coast, where the peace of construction is significantly slower and rented for rented completely through changes in mandates, the suburbs of Washington, DC, such as Prince George and Howard County county, added between 11% and 12% of rental houses, saw smaller profits in single figures.
“In short, to ask that peripheral living is raised, and the supply in many markets has met that question,” notes Crimmel. “But even in settings that have not built much in response to this question, we still see an increase in suburban rent.”
While most new buildings are built for owners to live in themselves, a suburban construction boom also releases existing homes for investors to buy and then rent.
Driven by the highest interest rates that have left home ownership out of reach of many people, the construction -new construction has been growing, especially in the suburbs in the south and west.
Approximately 100,000 new-built-in-re property is developing the US at this time, after a strong year for the industry, which had a record 39,000 leased houses completed, according to a recent report by Point2homes.com citing March data from Reset Res. Matrix
“Between investor activity, rental construction and high interest rates by keeping home buyers for the first time in a holding model, the tenant has grown in the suburbs,” says Crimmel.
National rents continue with a falling trajectory
Seeing the overall state of the US rent market, rent prices have been in the country, with May, marking the 22nd month of annual landings, according to the May Retre report by Realtor.com.
The media looking for rent in the 50s largest meters was $ 1,705 a month, below 1.7%, or $ 29, year over a year “but $ 5 higher than in April.
In particular, the typical rent fell in all categories of sizes, from studios to two bedroom units.
Trump administration anti-immigratory policies aimed at international students “calling a pause in new student visa interviews and suspending the enrollment of foreign students in prestigious institutions such as Harvardâ €” is expected to decrease in the well-known College cities such as Boston, San Jose, and Seattle.
“While international students are likely to rent, the advanced decline in international student arrivals can reduce the rental question, raise vacancies and make a declining pressure on leases in these areas,” says Realtor.com Joyayi XU.
San Jose has the highest part of foreign students, at 12.9%, followed by Miami, with 12.5%, and Boston, with 10.8%.
While international students make up only a small portion of all tenants, running from 0.2% to 2.1%, they tend to live in well -known innovation areas with a high concentration of skilled professionals.
“A decrease in the enrollment of international students can weaken the pipeline of global and even internal talents that feed on high -air industry and potentially mild lease demands in these markets,” adds XU.
Doge Purge leads to mixed results
Meanwhile, high -actions of federal workers’ subway markets continued to see divergent lease trends in May, with rents growing 1.3% in Washington, DC, but plunging to 5.9% in San Diego, following staff purges supervised by the government efficiency department, which was precious by Tesla Milliar. Elon Musk.
Other areas with a strong presence of federal workers, including Virginia Beach, VA, and Oklahoma City, OK, saw rents that marked 2.5%and 1%respectively, while in Baltimore, rents increased by 0.3%.
“These divergent tendencies point out that the conflict forces of federal jobs reduction and office return mandates are some of the factors that affect the rent market in these areas,” XU notes.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s “Liberration Day” tariffs on imported steel and aluminum could drive up rents in cities that have recently seen the growth in permitted multifamily Construction, which is Syntonymous with Rental Property, with Milwaukoe, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City TN, TN, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, and Columbus, Oh, at risk of hitting more.
In May, before Trump doubled aluminum tariffs and steel from 25%to 50%, four of these meters already saw a modest annual lease drop, the largest in Memfis, with 3.3%. Only Columbus had a slight increase in 0.2%.
“These increasing material costs are expected to place additional increased pressure on rents, as development can slow down construction or exceed higher costs for tenants,” XU warns.
Given that it takes just less than 20 months to complete an apartment building, it can spend some time before the increased tariff costs are completely reflected in the rents.
