San Francisco Apartment Rents Drop 31 Percent, Most In the US

That is a huge decrease...but the median rent for a studio apartment is $2,285, which is not exactly cheap. This suggests that the market for highly paid tech workers has not entirely evaporated.

Of the three cities with the largest drops in rent, three are in the Bay Area. The other two are Santa Clara and San Mateo, both of which are in the heart of Silicon Valley south of San Francisco. JL

Keith Griffith reports in The Street:

Apartment rents in San Francisco have plunged 31%, more than anywhere in the nation. Studio apartment median rent dropped to $2,285. San Francisco has seen a massive exodus in the past seven months, after undergoing one of the nation’s harshest lockdowns, and with many tech employers announcing extended or permanent remote working policies. Detroit, New York City, and Seattle also made the top-10 list for the sharpest drops in studio apartment rents

Apartment rents in San Francisco have plunged by as much as 31 percent, more than anywhere in the nation, as a mass exodus from coastal megacities continues.

New data released by Realtor.com on Tuesday shows that studio apartment rents plunged by nearly a third in September from a year ago, with the median rent dropping to $2,285.

Detroit, New York City, and Seattle also made the top-10 list for the sharpest drops in studio apartment rents, all posting double-digit percentage declines.

In September, the median studio rent in Manhattan was $2,495, down 15.4 percent year-over-year. One-bedroom rents were $3,400, down 11.7 percent compared to last year. 

San Francisco in particular has seen a massive exodus in the past seven months, after undergoing one of the nation’s harshest lockdowns, and with many tech employers announcing extended or permanent remote working policies.

‘As renters continue adapting to the pandemic, many are seeking more affordable housing, job opportunities, and are perhaps opting for less-crowded neighborhoods,’ wrote economic analyst Nicolas Bedo.

‘Urban centers such as the Bay Area, Manhattan, Boston, Seattle, and Washington, D.C all saw the largest declines in rents compared to last year. These markets also represent some of the most expensive cities in the country, giving rents the most room to fall,’ Bedo added.

Meanwhile, rents are rising nearly as quickly, on a percentage basis, in parts of Oklahoma, Florida, Texas and Arizona, indicating a migration trend toward areas with lower density and lower taxes.

Tulsa, Oklahoma posted the largest increase in studio apartment rents for September, with median rent rising 36 percent from last year, to $775.

Tucson, San Antonio and Tampa also made the top-10 list for the fastest growing studio rents in September, according to the county-level data.

Also seeing fast rises in rental prices were suburban areas just outside of major cities, including Tacoma, Washington, Newark, New Jersey and Worcester County, Massachusetts. 

‘This transition is likely in part to both affordability and a response to COVID-19, as more people seek out less crowded environments,’ Bedo wrote.

‘Renting in these spillover markets provides lower rents, more social distancing, and still allows for commuting if necessary.’
