- Nashville, Tennessee: Down 5.1%, with rents at $1,515.

Why Are Rents Going Down?
Now, with more apartments and houses available to rent, average prices have come down slightly. As of the latest report, average rent is $1,713, which is $46 less than the peak — a 2.6% decrease.
While this drop is small compared to earlier rent increases, it still gives renters more options, and more people are choosing to move to find better deals.
Some cities, like Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Austin, have seen rent fall more than 13% since their height in 2022.
What This Means for Renters
While rents are still higher than they were before the pandemic (up 17% compared to 2019), the recent drop is a good sign for those looking for a place to live.
With prices falling, more renters are moving to take advantage of savings.
