Though the top 10 markets did not see any ranking adjustments in this report, New York City shined particularly bright because it had the largest monthly growth rate for one bedrooms, up 4.6% to reach at least a 3 year peak of $2,980.

The rest of the country experienced many flat monthly growth rates, with a handful even seeing large, double digit year over year declines. It seems the market is stabilizing since the days of many cities experiencing consecutive, 10%+ year over year growth rates in 2018. However, since hot moving season has just begun, rents could still shoot up in the coming months.

Meanwhile, Spokane had the largest monthly rental growth rate in the nation, up 5.3% to $790 and Honolulu had experienced the biggest rent dip last month, down 5.1% to $1,670.

Overall, the national one bedroom rent increased a slight 0.1% to a median of $1,216, while two bedrooms grew 0.5% to $1,471. On a year to date basis, one bedroom prices are up 1.5% and 2.4%, respectively.
