The San Francisco Bay Area Rental Trends Round Up
Oakland, CA (PRWEB) January 29, 2014 -- Leading real estate and property management firm, ACL Real Estate and Property Management, announced that the San Francisco region is likely to be among the cities that see the highest rent growth during 2014. The positive trends in job growth and new construction seen in the city through 2013 is expected to raise the demand for housing, pushing rent prices higher through 2014.
With statistics released by MPF Research showing a 4.7% increase in rents in San Francisco in 2013, the city comes in second only to Seattle (5.8%) in terms of growth in rental rates in the nation through the past year. Add to this the recent The State of the Nation’s Housing 2013 report, which says that the national rental vacancy rate has seen a decline to 8.7% in 2012, a record low since 2001, and one has the right recipe for good rental demand continuing in San Francisco.
The unemployment rate, as reported by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, declined from 6.9% in July 2013 to 6.1% in September of the same year, which is also good news for homeowners looking to rent out their property.
“Not only will housing rental see an upsurge through 2014 but commercial rentals is also set to witness gains through 2014. The thing to keep an eye on is the interest rates and the pull back on bond buying from the Federal Reserve.” said a spokesperson for ACL Real Estate and Property Management. “This is the best time for property owners to hire experienced property managers not only to ensure that tenants are effectively screened but also to ensure the best rental rates and timely payment of rent,” the spokesperson added.
