Why are rents skyrocketing in major cities around the world — and what does it mean for everyday people?
In this video, we break down the economic forces driving rental prices higher in urban areas, from inflation and supply shortages to population shifts and demand surges.
Throughout major global cities, rents have soared in recent years due to a combination of factors such as rising maintenance costs, higher interest rates, limited housing supply, and growing demand for city living. As inflation pushes up the price of housing and related expenses, landlords adjust rental rates to cover costs and protect profits.
In addition, long-term demographic shifts and housing supply constraints mean that demand often outpaces available units, putting even more upward pressure on rent prices.
This video is ideal for anyone looking to understand why rental prices have become such a pressing issue and what trends are influencing the global housing landscape.
