This really doesn’t match my personal experience at all. I live in Mountain View (work at G) and pay 2k for a 1 bedroom (non luxury).
Lived here 3 years and pretty happy with it but I checked Craigslist and padmapper last week for some of these supposed 15% rent discounts and found rent to be pretty much the same as pre pandemic.
This is anecdata and I’m using human memory to compare rates per location/amenities but I think I would be noticing even 10% decreases... and I’m just
- CydeWeys 6y agoThe 15% drop is in actually signed renewals. The listings you're seeing are the ones that haven't yet caught up with the new market realities (rents seem to be somewhat sticky). These listings are aspirational, and aren't being signed at these levels.
- 0xffff2 6y agoSimilar here (except I get paid a lot less to work on the other side of Stevens Creek from the big G). $2k is pretty much the very bottom of the rental market here. I'd imagine that the top and median are going to fall first.
- Balgair 6y ago> 2k for a 1 bedroom (non luxury) I did this for a time in LA, but man, every time I see these rates, I'm just so glad I'm not there. I pay ~2k for a 3 story house, 5 bed, 3 bath, jacuzzi, 2 car garage, a smallish yard, and full HOA thingys like a big gym/YMCA center, shooting range, 18 hole golf course, batting cages, big pools, and camping areas. Denver area.
