Altisource’s RentRange Identifies 25 Cities with the Largest Rental Rate Increases
October 19, 2015
Residential Real Estate Data Helps Investors Define and Uncover Opportunities Nationwide
LUXEMBOURG, October 19, 2015 – RentRange®, the provider of Rental Market Intelligence™, today released data ranking the top 25 U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) by average rental rate increase for single-family homes between the third quarter of 2015 and the same quarter in 2014. Additionally, the data analysis identified the average yield generated by rental properties within these markets in the third quarter of 2015.
The RentRange data shows that cities in the South and West generally had the greatest increases in home rental rates, while cities in the Midwest and Northeast experienced smaller increases. California and Florida were particularly strong, accounting for seven of the top 10 markets on the list. However, when looking at yield, markets in the Central U.S. and Midwest often generated higher yields than many markets in California and Florida.
“We continue to see substantial opportunity in real estate investing, but strengthening real estate markets in many regions require investors to be more informed before buying an investment property and rehabilitating it in order to achieve their desired return ,” said Walter Charnoff, Chief Executive Officer of the RentRange business. “While, not surprisingly, California and Florida are experiencing the largest rental rate increases, further analysis reveals that markets in Alabama, Texas, Kansas and Ohio actually produce a much higher average yield.”
