Greater Boston Has More Apartment Availability, But No Rent Decreases
September 17, 2025
More apartments have become available for rent in Boston. The bad news, however, is that rental prices for these units have not decreased.
According to information from the rental agency Boston Pads, the Real-Time Availability Rate (RTAR) has increased by over 16% for both the city of Boston and the Greater Boston area since September 2024. The RTARs are even higher compared to two years ago this month: 72.65% for the city of Boston and 85.12% for the Greater Boston area.
