Single-family rentals (SFRs) are dominating the rental market, outpacing apartment rents by 20%, according to a new Zillow report. With median SFR rents hitting $2,174 per month, compared to $1,812 for apartments, the gap between the two rental types has never been wider. What’s driving this trend?
In this episode, we break down the data behind rising SFR demand, why more renters are choosing houses over apartments, and how Wall Street’s growing investment in build-to-rent communities is reshaping the market. We also explore key cities where SFR rents are surging, the impact of record apartment construction on multifamily pricing, and whether now is the time to invest in single-family or multifamily rentals.
If you’re a real estate investor or considering your next move in the rental market, this episode will give you the insights you need to stay ahead. Tune in now!
