Overview:

San Jose has emerged as a leading market for rent growth, displaying remarkable improvement in recent months. As of July, San Jose's rent growth surged from 2.8% to 3.4% month over month, marking a notable 60 basis point increase. This leap positions San Jose fourth nationally in rent growth. Just a year prior, the market faced rent declines of -1%, reflecting subdued demand. However, in the past 12 months, demand has surged, and with new construction slowing, rents are climbing above the pre-pandemic five-year average of 3%.
