A decline of less than 2% may not be anything to write home about. Our Bay Area neighbor, San Francisco experienced a drop of 26% over the course of the year.
But things may be leveling out in San Francisco. Apartment List reports that S.F. rents went up by 1.2% from January to February, the first positive increase since the start of the pandemic. The average rent in the city is currently $2,322 for a two-bedroom place.

Despite, large fluctuations in markets around the nation like San Francisco, New York and Seattle; the pandemic did not seem to affect the national average. According to Apartment List, rents fell by 1.2 % nationally from March through June of 2020, but prices are now just 0.1 percent lower than they were last June.
