In September, the median rent climbed to a new record of $5,395, as leasing activity dipped 5% year-over-year to 3,841 signed leases. The number of available apartments reached its lowest September level since 2019, while the vacancy rate held near 1.5%, highlighting just how challenging the market remains for renters. With demand continuing to outpace supply, competition remains frustratingly intense across much of the borough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brooklyn saw strong momentum in September, with 1,407 leases signed, up 10% year-over-year and marking the borough\u2019s strongest September for leasing in several years. While the median rent eased slightly from August\u2019s record, it remained elevated at $4,300, which is 5% higher than a year ago. At the same time, available inventory fell 25% year-over-year, reflecting the ongoing supply shortage. These conditions continue to prop up pricing and create urgency among renters who are searching for new homes throughout the borough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Gary Malin, Chief Operating Officer, The Corcoran Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cManhattan\u2019s rental market remains defined by a lack of available apartments.
