The Jersey City Rental Market Trend Report analyzes four key data points: active listing growth, renter lead growth, average renter leads per property, and the average rent price for two-bedroom listings.
In the first quarter of 2020, active listings reported for Jersey City followed normal seasonal trends – January and February posted big jumps month-over-month, at 61% and 93%. March posted a slight decline of 11%, followed by another steep decline in April of 40%, which was in line with other cities as stay at home and shut down orders began to take effect. Inventory continued to wane for a few months and then spiked again in August, which was on-trend seasonally. December was down nearly 45%, which is also on-trend seasonally. The first five months of 2021 have been trending high with 66%, 22%, 20%, 5%, and 14%.
Demand on the renter side has experienced similar volatility throughout 2020 and into 2021. We saw the most demand in January of 2020, with 39 leads per property on average. After a double-digit dip for the following three months, June bottomed out at seven leads per property. Moving into 2021, demand stayed in the double digits until May, which reported only nine average leads – a significant drop.
Year-over-year, the average rent amount for a two-bedroom listing has held steady. A sharp decrease of roughly $200 was reported in January. Average rent was trending up, April and May of 2020 had the highest average rent, with demand remaining steady. May and June of 2021 have both seen about $100 decrease compared to last year.
