☆ 15 cities with plenty of rentals and high enough wages to afford them
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-12 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | Eliza Relman | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

A new Zillow and StreetEasy analysis finds that rental price growth is far outpacing wage growth in most big cities — and New Yorkers are particularly screwed. In New York City, rents increased seven times as fast as wages from 2022 to 2023. Similarly, renters in Boston, Cincinnati, and Buffalo are seeing their wage growth dwarfed by their rent increases. But it's not all bad news for prospective and current tenants: There are still a handful of cities where wage growth has outpaced rent increases. While wages rose by 5.5% between 2022 and 2023, rents increased by just 0.8%, the Zillow/StreetEasy report found.

New York CNN —The American dream of homeownership is looking more like a nightmare. With inflation heating up again, the Federal Reserve is in no position to consider lowering interest rates at its upcoming meetings. That’s according to a New York Fed survey gauging consumers’ expectations of the housing market, released Monday. Consumers are gearing up for even bigger increases compared to the expected rise in mortgage rates over the next year, the New York Fed survey found. The issue of rent affordability is particularly pronounced in New York City, where housing costs have always been notoriously high compared to other parts of the country, absent a brief respite during the pandemic.

☆ New Rule for Buying a Home: Fire Your Real-Estate Agent

She had never purchased a home, and as a lawyer, I just assumed I knew how the system worked: The buyer has an agent, but the seller pays a commission (typically 6% of the sale price) that's split between their agent and the buyer's agent. So my agent wasn't going to find me my dream house, and the work of hunting was basically on me. But the real-estate industry has made it hard for many buyers to understand just how little having an agent can help. The class-action settlement with the NAR is going to make it a lot harder for sellers to be forced to pay for buyers' agents. Going forward, for people like me without an agent, a savvy seller may pay just 3% of the sales price to their own agent instead of 6% to be split with a buyer's agent.

Washington, DC CNN —Finding a new apartment to rent can be a slog. In New York City, the rental vacancy rate, which is the share of habitable unoccupied units, has dropped to a record low 1.4%. In Boston, the rental vacancy rate was a very tight 2.6% at the end of last year, according to the Census Bureau. However, the most recent vacancy rate is also lower than the more typical 3.6% from prior to the pandemic. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the rental vacancy rate was 6.6%.

The "singles tax" for living alone can add up to thousands of dollars each year, a new study by real estate marketplace Zillow finds. Unsurprisingly, it's highest in New York City. The extra $20,100 that New York City solo dwellers pay in "singles tax" is more than double the national average of $7,110, per Zillow data. In New York City, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $3,350, which is 2.8 times the average rent across the U.S., according to Zillow. To calculate average rent prices in 2023, Zillow used a combination of U.S. Census data and its own rental listings.

Hannah Brooks needed a new apartment and she was running out of time. It was last July — peak moving season — and Ms. Brooks, 29, had to move to New York City from Austin, Texas, before her boyfriend started a new job. “She said, ‘It’s first month, security deposit and broker’s fee, which comes out to $14,441 dollars,’” she recalled. Living in New York City is notoriously expensive, a consequence of there being too few homes for the number of people seeking them. That was the largest sum in more than a decade and nearly 30 percent above the prepandemic figure in 2019.

Derrick Chou self-listed his New York City home in order to skirt real-estate agent commissions. He said he saved about $40,000, but had to deal with the "grunt work" agents usually handle. He also found himself besieged by relentless real-estate agents. It sold within the year to a buyer who also did not use a broker — a rarity in New York's competitive and inventory-starved real-estate market. Five years later, with two kids, Chou said he would work with an agent if he were to sell again.

☆ Bidding wars over apartments are more ferocious than ever — and they're here to stay

Yet one of the enduring legacies of the COVID-era housing market may be the proliferation of bidding wars for rentals. Bidding wars have periodically reared their ugly heads during overheated stretches in New York City's housing market. And while things have cooled down since the mania of 2022, in places where available rental inventory remains low, the bidding wars just won't die. Still, it's hard not to worry that we've opened Pandora's box when it comes to bidding wars. Bidding wars may feel distasteful, embarrassing, and unfairly favor those with the means to drive up already exorbitant asking rents.

Fortunately, no-fee apartments still exist, and some neighborhoods have a higher share than others. This week’s chart, based on StreetEasy data as of April 2023, shows the New York neighborhoods with the highest and lowest shares of no-fee apartments. A 50 or 60 percent share of no-fee rentals may seem high to those who have done some looking. That could be because most of the city’s no-fee rentals are in expensive new buildings and go for over $3,000 a month. To reveal where the highest share of units listed both above and below $3,000 were, the study ranked neighborhoods by no-fee listings in each price range individually.
