According to RealFacts, a nationwide data provider, average rental rates fell in metro Jacksonville last quarter even though apartment occupancy rates are on the rise. Average rental rates fell both quarter to quarter and year over year. RealFacts covers 42 metropolitan areas across the country and Jacksonville was one of eight that had a decline in average rental rates both quarter to quarter and year over year. Jacksonville’s average rental rate slid 1.2 percent to $802 from last quarter and 2.7 percent from $824 last year.

The 1.5 percent drop in Las Vegas to $763 was the largest drop and Jacksonville’s quarter-over-quarter drop was the second largest. Las Vegas’ 10.7 percent year-over-year drop was also the largest of the 42 areas in the data. Quarter over quarter, Atlanta saw the largest rent increase at 3 percent to $816.
