REZI Releases Q1 2022 NYC Apartment Rental Market Insights
Occupancy-as-a-Service Pioneer Analyzes NYC Rental Market Rebound
NEW YORK, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- REZI, the pioneer of the "Occupancy-as-a-Service" model to guarantee leasing performance for property owners, today releases the Q1 data and analysis of NYC's rental market through real-time borough performance metrics.
Using over 100 data points per rental unit sourced from a collection of proprietary and public resources, REZI compares borough and neighborhood-level data across average rental price, days on market, (DoM), and average vacancy costs to provide a complete view of NYC's rental market in Q1 2022.
Key Terminology:
- Days on Market (DoM): represents the amount of time a vacant unit has been marketed.
- Vacancy Cost: represents the amount of income lost due to vacancy — inclusive of Days on Market, renter move-in delays, and placement fees.
- Listing Rent: represents the monthly net-effective rent / the amount of rent collected adjusted for vacancy cost.
REZI's NYC Q1 Rental Market Report
Overview - State of the Market
As we look at the state of New York City's rental market at the end of the first quarter, we see the market's rebound continue as listing rents grow and days on market continue to decrease.
The growth in days on market appears to be accelerating as we see a drop of over 44% compared to this time last year, compared to a 32% drop when we looked at the December market performance. The below table show NYC's total average performance as of March 2022:
Days on Market |
Listing Rent |

-18.8% change from 12/21 |
0.6% change from 12/21 |
-1.4% change from 12/21 |
Seasonal trends and market demand have driven Average Days on Market down - from 50 days in March '21 and 32 in December '21 |
Average Listing Rents have seen an impressive increase of over 26% from $2,759 in Q1 last year - though there has been little change in the lead-up to spring leasing season. |
Despite seeing demand pick up and rents rise, Average Vacancy Costs have remained steady, driven almost entirely by significant decreases in Manhattan. |
