Renters are also now returning to many gateway markets that saw outbound migration for most of the last year. A supercharged housing market is also pricing out some potential buyers, leading residents to remain in apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRent growth will not be able to continue at these levels indefinitely, but conditions for above-average growth are likely to persist for months,\u201d Adler said. The increases reflect growth in what landlords are asking for unleased apartments. Renters renewing leases may also be seeing increased rents, but likely at lower levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Migration is pushing up rents in Southwest and Southeast metros like Phoenix (17.0%), Tampa and California\u2019s Inland Empire (both 15.1%), Las Vegas (14.6%) and Atlanta (13.3%). These metros were lower cost compared to larger gateway metros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yardimatrix.com\/publications\/download\/file\/1284-MatrixMultifamilyNationalReport-June2021?signup=false\">Get more insight on the historic report.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi\u00a0Matrix offers the industry\u2019s most comprehensive market intelligence tool for investment professionals, equity investors, lenders and property managers who underwrite and manage investments in commercial real estate.
