Sioux Falls Property Management Company Predicts Rising Rental Rates

Rental Statistics Report Studies Rent, Vacancy and Saturation Rates

SIOUX FALLS, SD- Real Property Management teamed up with the leading provider of Rental Market Intelligence, RentRange, to produce a rental statistics report detailing how national rental markets are changing on a yearly basis in regards to rental, vacancy and saturation rates. The report studied the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, and limited its findings to market information on a 3 bedroom home. The following findings were revealed:

• All ten of the major US regions have experienced rising rental rates, but the biggest rise happened in the Pacific and Northeast regions.
• The nationwide average for a 3 bedroom rental home is $1,286 which represents a 5.4% increase from 2014
• On average, the the national vacancy rates (unoccupied rental homes) rose slightly to 5.7% with Texas having the lowest vacancy rates (3.6%), and the Midwest having the highest (7.2%)
• As of January 2015, 23.4% of single family homes nationwide are occupied by renters, This number represents the saturation rate discussed in the report.

“Rental rates are up throughout the country, and we expect that to continue for the near future,” reported Don Lawby, President of Property Management Business Solutions. “There are a lot of economic indicators supporting that viewpoint, not the least of which is America’s continual shift towards renting.”

“Higher rents and the availability of detailed rental market data create unprecedented opportunities for investors to make good decisions,” explains Wally Charnoff, CEO of RentRange. “This information paired with professional property management reduces the risk of investing in a broader range of geographical locations.”
