March multi-family rents up 2.5 percent year-on-year while occupancy rates dip to 95.2 percent

The average multifamily rent in the U.S. rose $4 to $1,371 in March, a 2.5 percent year-over-year increase, according to a survey of 121 markets by Yardi Matrix. This uptick was the first increase since summer 2017, as rents had not moved more than $1 in either direction since July.

National average occupancy rates remained mostly stable at about 95.2 percent.
