market pulse Rent Increases Lag Inflation Rate Rent Changes Commentary and Data Supplied by Dean Crist, Senior Economist, National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Rent Changes: The Consumer Price Index rose again last month by more than 5 percent—reflecting rising energy and food costs, for the most part, as well as stagnant wages. The rental component rose as well, but, as has been the case for the past 10 months, it rose more slowly than the CPI as a whole. It’s difficult to ask renters to pay more rent when the cost of everything else keeps moving upward. To comment, contact Keat Foong at kfoong@multi-housingnews.com.
