Rents Head Up as Home Prices Put Off Buyers
By DAVID
LEONHARDT
Rents are rising again across the country, squeezing tenants who are already
coping with high gasoline prices and improving returns to landlords after a deep
five-year slump.
The turnaround appears to be another sign that the boom in house prices
and sales is finally slowing, as homes have become so expensive in
many metropolitan areas that some people have decided to rent instead.
A government report yesterday also offered new evidence that the housing
boom could be reaching a peak. The median price of a newly built home
fell to $203,800 in July from $219,500 in June, after having risen
in the winter and spring, the Commerce Department said. ________________________________________________________________
