Nationally, rents increased by 2.5%, Apartment List reported, and the national median rent has increased by 11.5% in 2021 and is 9.4% above the pre-pandemic level from March 2020.
Apartment List noted that rents are still below pre-pandemic levels in a handful of pricey markets, including San Francisco and New York City, but even in there they are rebounding. In fact, rents are now increasing in virtually all of the nation’s 100 largest cities, in some cases rapidly.
