According to the latest Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) Single-Family Rent Index (SFRI), U.S. single-family home rental prices increased 1.1% year over year in February, 2026. They says This increase is a pronounced slowdown in pace from the 2.6% increase they saw between February 2024 and 2025, and it is one-third of the pre-2020 average of 3.3%.
“While it looks like rent increases have slowed significantly more for lower-income renters, when you look back at the last five years, rent growth is similar across all price tiers, highlighting how broadly gains were distributed earlier in the cycle. Higher-end rentals continue to show comparatively more stability, with prices rising 2.0% year-over-year despite ongoing deceleration….” Said Molly Boesel, Cotality Senior Principal Economist.
