Retrospective

First, let's take a look back at 2021. Last year, we saw a shift in the rental market due to the pandemic. Many renters moved out of major cities, and the demand for larger living spaces increased. As a result, rental prices in suburban areas and smaller towns rose while prices in urban areas decreased.

Looking back on 2022, it's clear that the rental market experienced some fluctuations throughout the year. In Q1, we saw a slight increase in rental rates compared to the previous year. However, this trend did not continue into Q2, which saw a decrease in rates. Q3 and Q4 saw a return to growth, with rental rates increasing steadily.

Key Highlights

The report includes several key highlights that are worth noting. First, we saw a slight increase in rental rates across the board, with an average increase of 3% compared to the previous year. This increase was mainly due to the high demand for rental properties and the limited supply in many urban areas.

Second, the report also found that the most popular rental areas remained consistent throughout the year. Cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles continued to be in high demand, with rental rates remaining stable.

Third, we noticed a shift in rental preferences among tenants. Many tenants were looking for larger living spaces, such as apartments or houses, which led to a decrease in the demand for smaller shared living spaces like studios or one-bedroom apartments.
