RICHMOND, CA - JUNE 15: A "for rent" sign is posted in front of a house on June 15, 2012 in Richmond, California. According to a report by Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies, the tepid real estate market could see a turnaround with the price of rental properties surging and vacancies dropping from 10.6 percent in 2009 to 9.5 percent last year, the lowest level since 2002.

If you’re hoping that your rent will stop increasing here in Sacramento, it looks like it’s not going to happen anytime soon. See what a new report says…

Bizjournals.com says that a new report from Yardi Matrix says that we led “all major U.S. metropolitan areas — again — in year-over-year percentage growth in rents, this time with 8.1 percent since January 2017.”

The report added that rent in Sacramento NOW averages $1,393/month – up 40% in the last four years!

Thankfully, the report seems to suggest that rent growth in our area should slow down – but not by much. They predict a 7.2 percent rent growth over the next year.
