The national median asking rent rose for the third consecutive month in March to 0.8%. It’s a pattern driven by a number of factors, including the rising costs of buying a home, a new Redfin report revealed.

“Many people are delaying home purchasing plans because monthly payments for homebuyers are near their record high. That’s bolstering rental demand, and as a result, rent prices,” Redfin noted. “The median asking rent in March was just 3.3% ($67) below the record high of $2,054 in August 2022.”
