MLS-listed downtown rental market remains strong

View from Harbor Point, Chicago IL

When we first began tracking the inventory of MLS-listed rentals in 15 downtown ZIP codes, in November of 2009, there were 1,927 units available for rent. A month later that number had fallen to 1,760, and by year-end 2010 it plummeted to 1,104, down 43% from November of 2009 and 37% year-over-year.

There are currently 748 downtown homes, apartments and condos listed for rent in the MLS, a 32% decline from the 2010 year-end level, and a modestly higher number than the low point of 717 units, which was reached in July of this year.
