It’s important to realize that these numbers are ASKING rents and it doesn’t indicate that those are the actual rents. What it does show is that landlords are becoming ever more confident in asking for higher and higher rents as folks are priced out elsewhere.
Also, it should be noted that these data collections rarely utilize the complete listings in an area so numbers may be skewed in either direction.
