Rent Drops vs. Rising Costs in Key Cities

Rent prices are falling across 56 cities, with average one- and two-bedroom rents dropping to $1,934 and $2,365 respectively — a 1% dip overall. But the real story? A stark divide: in some areas, rents are plummeting to as low as $1,734, while in wealthier zones, they’re climbing past $2,250. Landlords are struggling to raise prices amid a shaky job market and new housing supply, especially in lower-income areas. Orange County is the only region seeing average rent increases, while LA and San Diego counties saw widespread declines — especially in wildfire-hit zones where displaced families’ demand has cooled. Meanwhile, cities like Aliso Viejo and Newport Beach in Orange County are seeing major rent hikes, exposing a widening economic gap across the housing market.
