Average rents rose 4.3% since April 2014 but trailed February 2015 mark
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., April 28, 2015 – The April 2015 edition of Matrix Monthly, a report on U.S. apartment market trends from Yardi®, documents a 4.3% year-over-year increase in average rents across the country. The average multifamily rent of $1,105 in April represented a one-month increase of 0.7%. The all-time high of $1,108 was recorded in February 2015.
Strong rent escalation in San Francisco, Denver, Seattle and Portland, Ore., accounted for much of the average rent increase in April. Demand for higher-end product also contributed to this trend.
