Rent prices in California's largest metropolitan areas have generally decreased year-over-year, with Sacramento experiencing the largest drop at over 6.5%. However, Los Angeles saw a 4% increase, reaching a median rent of $3,515 per month. Nationally, the median monthly rent was $1,964, slightly lower than December 2022. Factors contributing to this trend include lackluster demand, seasonal trends, and a construction boom leading to rising supply and vacancies. Salt Lake City and Austin experienced the largest declines, while Providence and Columbus saw the largest rent increases.
