New study shows rents increasing



Your rent keeps going up and it's not likely to change any time soon.

According to newly released data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, rents are rising at the fastest pace in six years. Combined with vacancy rates at 20-year lows it is currently a "landlord's market" in American real estate with rent rates increasing faster than inflation.  

Builders are working on the demand side of the equation and more multifamily units are being built, however they will take time to be completed. Vacancy rates are projected to stay low for at least two years.
