The rental market in the South is cooling off, but it's still hot in the Midwest.

May 28, 2024 / 01:00

This episode discusses the current trends in housing markets, focusing on rent growth in the Midwest, affordability issues in South Florida and Texas, and the impact of supply on prices.

The conversation highlights a 5% growth in rents in the Midwest, attributed to its affordability compared to other regions. The hosts mention that markets like South Florida and Texas, which previously experienced significant price increases, are now facing declines due to decreased affordability.

Additionally, the episode covers the surge in supply in these southern markets, which is contributing to holding rents down. The hosts explain how these dynamics are affecting overall housing prices and inflation.

They also discuss the relationship between rising mortgage rates and housing supply constraints, noting that higher rates lock homeowners in and limit new listings.

TL;DR

Midwest rents rise 5%, while South Florida and Texas face declines due to affordability issues and increased supply.
