Real estate website Zumper wanted to find out what the prices of rent across the country were doing. “Rent has been rising at an alarming rate all over the country throughout 2021,” the site explains, “but Zumper’s National Rent Index for November shows for the first time this year a slower pace of rent growth that more closely resembles historical norms.” Zumper has been keeping track of rental prices using its National Rent index and over the past 11 months, there have been some interesting changes. The median rent for a one-bedroom place increased by 12.1 percent, two bedrooms went up even more to 13.2 percent. “For context, the median one-bedroom rent rose by a mere 0.3 percent in all of 2019, and it was up just 0.6 percent in 2020,” the site explains. That’s a big increase in costs! While the company’s November data points to a possibility the rise in rent costs is slowing down, there are some cities across the country where rent is just downright expensive.
