Rent prices in San Antonio on a downward trend as economy reboots

Apartment renters soon could see relief after more than a year of extreme growth in rent costs in San Antonio and across the country.

The average apartment rent in San Antonio during 2022 rose to $1,200 as the cost of rent grew by 15.5% in 2021 and at the start of 2022.

That’s an “unheard of” amount for the area, said Cindi Reed, director of sales at the market research firm Apartmentdata.com. Reed spoke about the state of the multifamily industry Tuesday to members of the San Antonio Apartment Association, a trade association representing local property owners and management companies.

Austin apartment market update: Rents trending down as more units are built

That’s according to the latest Austin-area apartment market report from ApartmentData.com, which tracks the market.

Austin has a 90.8% occupancy rate, down half of a percent from the end of the third quarter, according to ApartmentData.com. And the rate of rent growth is starting to return to a long-term average, which is about 6% a year, the report said.

The rental growth rate currently is at 7.5%, and that number has continued to decline month over month, with rents across the market now averaging $1,632 a month, according to ApartmentData.com.

“The pressure on occupancy and rental rates is driven by an increase in new apartments being delivered with a decrease in absorption (net leasing activity),” said Cindi Reed, director of sales for ApartmentData.com, an MRI Software Company. “Year to date, we have delivered 12,425 apartment homes while only absorbing 8,261 of them.”
