Asking rents in the U.S. dipped 1.4% month-over-month, but rose 4.8% year-over-year.
That's the smallest increase in median asking rents since July of 2021, according to data issued Thursday by Redfin Corp (NASDAQ: RDFN).
The housing market in the U.S. received welcome data Tuesday, but the bad news is rents are still on the rise, they’re just rising at a much slower pace.
A popular standard for budgeting rent is to follow the 30% rule, which is spending a maximum of 30% of a gross monthly income on rent.
Not so this year, for most Americans.
