Bringing down inflation might cause your rent to rise

LA Times  

Britt and Danielle Vaughan have been renting an apartment in Pasadena since 2014. Tamping down demand for mortgages is straightforward, but the Fed’s actions “probably aren’t affecting demand for rent to a significant degree.” Zandi expects acceleration in the official inflation data for rents to continue into 2023. “There are two possibilities why this is happening: Wealthier renters are entering the market, or user incomes are not changing, but they are adjusting their preferences on our website to account for the rising rent prices,” said Apartment List senior research associate Rob Warnock. “No landlord would increase rents by 10% in a recession.” Zandi said the most feasible solution is to increase the housing supply, arguing that private data already show current market rent growth peaking. “The number of homes under construction headed towards completion is pretty close to a record high and we should see more multifamily units being completed with the pandemic labor problems fading away,” Zandi said.
