RentCafe has released its latest Rental Market Competitivity Report, assessing how difficult market conditions are for U.S. renters in 2023 (results were compared against those of 2022). The report looks at 139 metro area markets in total, divided into eight regional groupings: the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, the Southwest, the South, the Midwest, the West and the Pacific Northwest. The reported findings vary from national metrics to ones specific to those regions/metropolitan areas.
