Roanoke rents up 4.8%: Inflation is currently at its highest rate in 40 years, and rapidly rising housing costs are a key contributor. While the market has cooled slightly from last summer’s peaks, the national median rent has still jumped by 14% in the past year. And with spiking mortgage rates now sidelining potentially homebuyers, the coming months could bring additional competition for rentals amid a market that is already historically supply-constrained. Rents in Roanoke increased 4.8% month-over-month in June, compared to a 1.3% increase nationally. Year-over-year rent growth in Roanoke currently stands at 23.9%, compared to 15.5% at this time last year. Rents in Roanoke are up by 36.9% since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Median rents in Roanoke currently stand at $985 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $1201 for a two-bedroom. Submitted by Apartment List
