Bay Area Rent Trends—Where Do You Stand?

Pittsburg, CA:

  • Median Rent: $2,177 (10% higher than the national average).

  • Year-over-Year Change: Rents have decreased by 14% over the past year—are you adjusting your pricing strategy?

  • Source: Zumper Rental Data

 What This Means for Housing Providers (Landlords):

  • If you haven’t adjusted rent in the past 12 months, you could be charging below market value.

  • Rental demand is shifting—longer vacancies may occur if pricing isn’t competitive.

  • Well-maintained single-family rentals continue to see higher occupancy rates.
