US Median Housing Rent Jumps To $1,653, Highest Since 2022: 'Demand From Young Renters Remains High'
The median U.S. asking rental price saw an annual 0.8% increase in May to $1,653, marking the highest level since October 2022, sustaining an upward trend driven by robust demand and constrained supply.
美國中位數求租價格在5月份年增長了0.8%，達到1653美元，標誌着自2022年10月以來的最高水平，這一上漲趨勢是由強勁的需求和供給不足驅動的。
This is the second consecutive month of rent increases following nearly a year of declines, highlighting the ongoing affordability challenges renters face nationwide, according to Redfin data.
根據Redfin數據，這是房租連續第二個月上漲，此前近一年的租金下跌突顯租房人面臨的持續負擔能力挑戰。
The recent uptick in the median asking rent, which now stands just $47 below the record high, saw significant increases in Washington, D.C., Cincinnati, and Chicago, all of which experienced double-digit growth.
近期中位數租金上漲，現僅比最高記錄低47美元，其中華盛頓特區、辛辛那提和芝加哥出現了顯著增長，這些地區的增長率均在兩位數以上。

Young Renters Demand Remains Strong, Backlog Of New Units Temper Increases
年輕租客的需求仍然很強，但新增的住房單元積壓有所緩解租金上漲。
"Demand from young renters remains high, as many of them are opting to stay put rather than contend with an increasingly unaffordable homebuying market," said Redfin senior economist Sheharyar Bokhari.
Redfin高級經濟學家Sheharyar Bokhari表示：“年輕租客的需求仍然很高，因爲他們中的許多人選擇不去冒險進入越來越難負擔的購房市場。”
"But so far, rent price growth has been limited because there are enough new apartments to meet demand, even in the busiest time of year for the rental market."
但是到目前爲止，租金價格增長受到限制，因爲即使在租賃市場最繁忙的時期，也有足夠的新公寓滿足需求。
Despite a recent decline in multifamily building starts below their 10-year historical average, a backlog of new units continues to hit the market each month, tempering rent price growth.
儘管多戶建築開始下降低於其10年曆史平均水平，但每個月仍有大量新單元進入市場，抑制了租金價格上漲。
Regional Rent Trends
地區租金趨勢
Washington, D.C. saw the highest annual increase in median asking rent in May, jumping 11.1%, the largest rise among the 33 major U.S. metropolitan areas examined by Redfin. Other notable increases were recorded in Cincinnati (10.9%), Chicago (10.8%), Virginia Beach (10.3%), and Minneapolis (10.3%).
根據Redfin檢查的33個美國主要都會區中，華盛頓特區的中位租金需求在5月份年增長最高，達到11.1%，爲最高增幅。其他顯著增長的城市有辛辛那提（10.9%）、芝加哥（10.8%）、弗吉尼亞海灘（10.3%）和明尼阿波利斯（10.3%）。
On the flip side, significant rent declines were observed in Jacksonville (-10.1%), San Diego (-8.7%), Austin (-7.2%), Seattle (-5.9%), and Phoenix (-5.5%).
另一方面，傑克遜維爾（-10.1%）、聖地亞哥（-8.7%）、奧斯丁（-7.2%）、西雅圖（-5.9%）和鳳凰城（-5.5%）都出現了顯著的租金下跌。
According to Redfin analysis, the Sun Belt's rent reductions are partly due to the region's aggressive apartment construction to accommodate the influx of new residents during the pandemic. As the housing boom wanes, these areas are experiencing higher vacancies, which is driving rents down.
根據Redfin分析，陽光帶租金的降低部分原因是該地區在疫情期間爲適應新居民的湧入而積極建造公寓。隨着房屋熱潮的減弱，這些地區面臨更高的空置率，從而推低了租金。
Meanwhile, many cities in the Midwest are seeing rent increases as fewer new apartments are being built. The Midwest's relative affordability continues to attract renters, boosting demand despite the national housing affordability crisis.
與此同時，許多中西部城市的租金價格正在上漲，因爲新公寓的建造越來越少。中西部的相對經濟實惠性持續吸引租客，儘管全國住房價格負擔能力危機。
