At the time, real estate experts predicted renter relief in 2024 with inventory picking up, price stabilization and even how 2024 being an election year may lead to lower interest rates.<\/p>\n<p>In its report, Forbes determined these findings through metrics including availability of units, price and population.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith all these methods, we\u2019re looking at how difficult it might be to find a rental that\u2019s available,\u201d said Alexandria Cremer, a senior digital public relations strategist at Forbes Advisor.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, lower rental competitiveness indicates finding a rental would be easier than if the rental competitiveness of a region is quite high.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/our-team\/todd-cohen\/\"><strong>Todd Cohen<\/strong><\/a>, a principal with Lee &amp; Associates South Florida, which handles real estate deals across the region, defined rental competitiveness as \u201cthe ability to drive rental growth.\u201d This growth is influenced by factors such as inflation or demand for housing being higher than the supply to address it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe demand is still there and Florida still is a place people are seeking out to move, and it\u2019s not just a retirement haven anymore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h4>Growth still abounds<\/h4>\n<p>Cremer said the report found the Miami-metro area to be the 11th least competitive rental market because of various factors: a median rental price decrease, as well as a lower-than-average prospective renters\u2019 population and a slightly higher-than-average vacancy rate, which is the number of days an available unit remains on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen said he has not necessarily seen a dip in rental competitiveness because growth still abounds, and supply is working hard to keep up with that demand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA tremendous amount was developed when, during the pandemic heyday, interest rates were still super low,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen\u2019s beliefs coincide with a RentCafe\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/rental-market\/rental-competitiveness-index\/us-hottest-rental-markets-start-of-2024\/\">report<\/a>\u00a0from March, which found the Miami area to be the most competitive rental market in the U.S. at the start of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The factors drawing people, developers and companies to the area during and right after the COVID-19 pandemic still persist, Cohen said, but the market \u201chas to take a breather.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just seeing that things have gotten back to what they were prior to this just exponential skyrocketing of growth and rental growth,\u201d he said. \u201cDevelopers who didn\u2019t have to give any concessions to lease up their properties are now giving maybe a month or two of free rent to get people in because people aren\u2019t moving here every five seconds like they were.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These concessions does not mean the market is unhealthy, though, Cohen said. The influx of development and new supply means \u201cthe market needs to digest.\u201d This also may lead to more opportunities to choose from when looking for a new place to live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s how things work and that\u2019s how you get people to notice your building, and you need to be competitive because you\u2019re not the only show in town anymore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Another trend working against supply catching up to demand is the use of short-term rental units, often used by vacationers.<\/p>\n<p>A deep need for workforce and affordable housing still exists, he said, which has brought forth programs such as the Live Local Act, which offers incentives to developers to allocate portions of residential projects to workforce housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can expect that there are apartments coming online every month, new deliveries are made by developers,\u201d he said. \u201cThere will be a push to have more affordable and workforce, and I think there already are some that have been green-lit and have already been started to be developed and I think more and more of those will come online, so that will help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sun-sentinel.com\/2024\/04\/25\/a-good-sign-for-renters-competition-may-not-be-as-fierce-as-before-in-south-florida\/\">Read More...<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-9604-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-9604-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-9604-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div id=\"pl-w662fbf2d4b4ca\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w662fbf2d4b4ca-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w662fbf2d4b4ca-0\" ><div id=\"pgc-w662fbf2d4b4ca-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w662fbf2d4b4ca-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-c67d20f9f743\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sun-sentinel.com\/2024\/04\/25\/a-good-sign-for-renters-competition-may-not-be-as-fierce-as-before-in-south-florida\/\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" \t\t>\n\t\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2022\/03\/Sun-Sentinel-2022.png\" width=\"256\" height=\"69\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2022\/03\/Sun-Sentinel-2022.png 612w, https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2022\/03\/Sun-Sentinel-2022-512x137.png 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" title=\"Sun Sentinel\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-w662fbf2d4b4ca-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-button panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-leeassoc-bdeb4e11cd5d\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"leeassoc-so-btn-base ow-button-base ow-button-align-center\">\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sun-sentinel.com\/2024\/04\/25\/a-good-sign-for-renters-competition-may-not-be-as-fierce-as-before-in-south-florida\/\" class=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-left ow-button-hover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" \t\t>\r\n\t\t<span>\r\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-far\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf1ea;\"\n\t\tstyle=\"\" \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\tREAD FULL ARTICLE\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-9604-1-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><strong>About Lee &amp; Associates South Florida<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lee &amp; Associates South Florida is a fully vertical commercial real estate brokerage firm focused on industrial, office, retail, multifamily, investment and land sectors.
