What the New York rent trend shows

This page follows market rents in New York from 2015 through mid-2026 using the same Zillow ZORI vintage for every city in the table. State figures below are simple averages of the tracked cities — useful for comparing places inside New York and stacking the state against the published U.S. typical rent ($1,965/month in June 2026, up from $1,362 in January 2019 on our national series).

Since 2023, the tracked-city average in New York has risen from about $3,308 to $3,821 (+15.5%). That is the post-spike path — not a full reset to mid-2010s rents. The latest year step (2025 → 2026) is +3.0% ($3,709 $3,821).

Within the state, long-run winners and losers split by city. The largest percentage increase from the earliest reading to 2026 is Long Beach (+121.7%, $1,662 → $3,684). 6 of 194 tracked cities are higher than their 2015 (or earliest) level.
