Medford Rent Price Surpasses All Time High In March

https://marketersnow.com/medford-rent-price-surpasses-all-time-high-in-march/ Medford’s average rent price has just surpassed its previous all-time high this month. The current average rent price of $2,158 eclipses the previous record of $2,156 set in July of 2020 after stagnating for 18 months during the pandemic. With apartment occupancy nearing all-time highs in Medford, it looks like 2022 will be a banner year for Medford’s apartment rental market. Medford’s recent rent price growth comes as the neighborhood approaches record high occupancy. The current vacancy rate for Medford apartments sits at 0.67%, close to the all-time low of 0.62% set in March of 2020. Considering there are 5 months left until vacancy hits its cyclical low, that number will continue to push to unprecedented lows as we approach September. Apartment availability, another key supply metric, is currently 2.8% in Medford. Compared to its pre-pandemic level in March 2019, that is 1.15% lower indicating that the rental market in Medford has never been tighter. Both availability and vacancies metrics suggest that Medford’s average rent price will continue to rise throughout 2022.

Boston’s apartment availability percentage has been on a wild ride over the past 24 months.   In October of 2019, apartment availability was near an all-time low at 1.74% following a decade of growing demand for rental units in Greater Boston.   In 2020, it rapidly climbed to its highest level in more than a decade and peaked at 13.43% in March, more than double its cyclical high in March of 2019 (5.56%).   Since then, apartment availability has been in a free fall, and is beginning to flatten at 1.97%, very close to its level in October 2019.   That marks an 87.04% drop in availability rate in just 7 months for Boston apartments . To state the obvious, the pandemic was the main contributing factor in all of this volatility.   But why such a huge swing in both directions?   Boston is no stranger to high apartment turnover. Historically, the availability percentage has fluctuated between 2% and 8% every year, with its peak occurring in March/April and its low in October/November.   This
