A recent report from Redfin ranks Austin, Texas as the most affordable rental market in the United States. My, how far we've come in such a short time.

What say you, real estate professionals? Is this the vibe you're getting from the market?

Redfin released a report on the most affordable U.S. metro areas for renters.

To rank the metros, Redfin analyzed the median asking rent for apartments across the United States for a three month period — October to December of 2024. Then they estimated the median incomes of renter households using U.S. Census Bureau data from 2023.

Redfin considers an apartment “affordable” if a renter spends no more than 30% of their income on rent.

“Rent affordability is a function of two things, how much rent costs and also how much people earn,” Daryl Fairweather, Chief Economist and Redfin, tells CNBC Make It.

Redfin’s top 10 is comprised of areas with a strong economy and a growing housing market, she adds. cnb.cx/4gAFKiU
