The rents SHOULD be coming down but they aren't yet, but maybe after all the proposed stuff gets completed we'll see a shift.
My sources say the opposite. One and sometimes even two months free rent are starting to pop up. All you need to do is ask. This is equivalent to an 8% discount. Having said that rents should pull back about 25% to get back in line with inflation.
But as I said, we need even more supply so that prices get back to reasonable levels. There is no reason why one should pay more than $420 for a bedroom in a five unit apartment.
