RENT AFFECTS HOUSEHOLD INCOME
Inflation continues to cause many people stress due to the exorbitant rise in prices of basic goods and gasoline. Realtor.com highlighted the cities where the price of rent has been increasing and looking for a new home has become a problem.
The rise in prices has been getting worse since May. The figures show how the monthly rent, on average, has risen around 15%, compared to last year. Likewise, they highlighted that it has exceeded $2,000 for the first time. The steep rise in cost has caused stress for perspective renters, according to La Opinión.
Is renting cheaper than a mortgage?
Realtor.com pointed out that potential buyers are opting to rent instead of taking on a mortgage, due to the increase in prices and interest rates. This option has put consumers in check and has set off the alarms among experts, due to the sudden change.
“Rising mortgage interest rates are spilling over into the housing market, threatening to reverse the unprecedented decline in real estate. These changes prompted the Realtor.com® economic research team to review its 2022 housing forecast, issued in December, and make some adjustments,” Realtor.com reported.

Another city that’s gotten expensive to rent a home is Nashville, Tennessee. Rents have skyrocketed there, especially compared to other cities.
