After a period of robust growth, New York’s tenants will be pleased to learn that rental growth has slowed significantly. Annual growth has dropped from its peak of nearly 40% in Q1 2022 to 2.4% this quarter, with rents declining by 1.3% over the past three months.

This deceleration can partly be attributed to an improvement in new supply delivery following an extended period of limited stock availability, but also results from a limited ability for tenants to pay higher rents as wage growth slows.
