[Discussion] Rental Markets Across The States

What are rents looking like in your local cities? Is it going up? Is it going down? Staying the same?

What are everyone's prediction (yes, I know it's hard to predict because the situation we find ourselves in is unprecedented) on where the rental market will go moving forward?

What is everyone's guesses on what that rental market will mean for RE?

Personal anecdote for me - rental markets in the Bay Area have taken huge beatings. I know friends who have leveraged the current situation to get themselves into cheaper leases (often times 10-25% discounts on what they normally would find, and 1-2 months off). I know friends who have left the Bay Area, and are unsure whether or not they want to come back. I know friends who have been trying to find subletters/subleasers/renters who have had to put out their listings for 1-2+ months constantly, and are having a hard time finding someone to come in. Having to make major concessions compared to what it was like before.

My guess is that this will definitely trickle and impact RE prices, specifically in SF, as leases tend to get signed right around now to around September traditionally (peak times). As people exit their leases and don't sign, and we get an influx of rentals with no one to occupy them, landlords/investors will start getting antsy. It might take time, but my personal market forecast (everyone keeps saying sale volume is up MoM! Real estate market is saved!) is that SF real estate is looking at a gloomy downturn.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
