Cotality Says Single-Family Rent Growth Showed Signs of Weakness in July

The Rent Boom Is Cooling: What Investors Must Do Before 2026 Hits

According to the latestCotality (formerly CoreLogic) Single-Family Rent Index(SFRI), U.S. single-family home rental prices increased 2.3% year over year in July 2025. In addition, July rent for detached rentals grew by 2.2%, and attached rental rates rose by 1.8%.

After a strong start to the year, single-family rent growth is clearly losing steam…in July, we broadly saw weakening in annual single-family rent growth across metro areas and price tiers. The monthly growth rate came in at just 0.2%, well below the historical July average of 0.7%, and is a notable shift from the stronger-than-usual monthly gains recorded earlier in 2025.” Said Molly Boesel, Cotality senior principal economist.
