Denver Metro Single Family Home Rental Rates Continue To Rise, Statewide Rates Retract, and Nationwide Rates Are Flat, Real Property Management Colorado and RentRange Reveal
Real Property Management Colorado, part of the nation’s leading property management franchise organization, and RentRange, the nation’s leading provider of Rental Market Intelligence™, released their quarterly “Rental Statistics Report,” which shows Denver Metro area single family rent rates in Q4 continuing to rise while statewide rent rates retracted and nationwide rent rates were flat year-over-year.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the companies found that the average monthly rent for single-family homes in the Denver area was $2,094, representing a 2.49% year-over-year increase from Q4 of 2017. Across the state, average monthly rent dropped to $1,646 which is down from $1,736 a year ago and $1,775 in Q3. And nationally, single family home rent rates were $1,443 which is flat from a year ago and a slight decrease from Q3. This rental market data is limited to three-bedroom single-family homes.
“Rental rates across the Denver Metro area continue to rise although the gains are more reflective of a market continuing to move toward equilibrium,” said Greg Bacheller, Co-Owner of Real Property Management Colorado. “Net population growth into the Denver area continues to fuel the demand for an already tight rental housing market. As such, vacancy rates remain at historic lows and prices continue to rise.”
In addition, Real Property Management Colorado is reporting average rents across all properties surveyed in the following counties: Broomfield County $2,189, Douglas County $2,087, Boulder County $1,789, Jefferson County $1,750, Weld County $1,667, Arapahoe County $1,655, Larimer County $1,634, Adams County $1,622, Denver County $1,599, and El Paso County $1,454. Beyond that, Real Property Management Colorado is also reporting average rent per number of bedrooms across all properties surveyed: 6-bedroom $2,884, 5-bedroom $2,349, 4-bedroom $2,173, 3-bedroom $1,844, 2-bedroom $1,469, and 1-bedroom $1,044.
The report also examined vacancy rates, the percentage of homes considered unoccupied, through the end of the second quarter. The vacancy rate in the Denver Metro area was 3.04%, which is up slightly from 2.84% last year. Vacancy rates statewide bumped up significantly to 5.58% from 2.53% a year ago and 3.05% in Q3. National vacancy rates also bumped up year-over-year to 6.02% from 5.64%.
