Just when you thought maybe, just maybe there was a chink in the high-priced armor worn by San Francisco’s rent market, the median rent for a one bedroom went up again. After a record in early September of $3,530, SF’s October median one bedroom now rents for $3,670, according to Zumper’s National Rent Report for November (two bedrooms remained steady at $5,000).
That hike comes despite news of Twitter’s massive layoffs and a September report in the Business Journal on waning confidence in the “white hot housing market” of San Francisco.
Bay Area rents still setting records
San Francisco does not stand alone in the record-setting rent department. Oakland, a city that won the dubious distinction of being the nation’s hottest rental market in August of this year, is now the 5th most expensive market in the country. In Oakland this November, one bedrooms, per the Zumper report, hit a median of $2,160.
San Jose, meanwhile, actually reversed some of the massive gains realized over the past two years. Still the 4th most expensive market in the country, prices dropped 2.2% over the past quarter to $2,180 for a one bedroom. Two bedrooms were also down 1.1% to $2,720. However, in the bigger picture, rent appreciation in SJ is still strong: up 14.7% and 15.7% year-over-year for one and two bedroom apartments, respectively.
What can you rent in the city?
Zumper reports SF’s most expensive neighborhood for November is the Financial District, commanding a $4,390 median for a 1-BR, followed by Mission Bay at $3,890. The gallery above shows you what the typical one bedroom in that price range looks like.
National trend
Only 10% of the 50 largest cities in the US have actually seen rent drops this past year. This national phenomenon, though more pronounced in the Bay Area, arises from several factors. “According to a US Census Bureau report from the second quarter of 2015, the national rental vacancy rate dropped to 6.8%, the lowest seen in the past 20 years. Furthermore, a recent report conducted by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, found that the national homeownership rate declined for the 10th consecutive year in 2014, dropping to 64.5%. This softening was seen across the entire country, affecting both urban and suburban areas alike.”
And when it comes the the Bay Area, the effect for tenants is a pricier, more competitive market that gets only more so … every month.
