🏠 Rent prices increase

After months of decreases, rent prices in the Nashville area increased 0.3% from January to February, according to apartmentlist.com.

Zillow’s rent index — “a smoothed measure of the typical observed market rate rent” — for the 37221 zip code shows prices in Bellevue dropped only $50 between August and January.

The apartmentlist.com researchers predict prices will rise for the next few months but not at the unusual pace set last year.
