The inaccessible market for home buying southern California helps to increase the cost of hiring one.
My reliable spreadsheet reviewed the Rentometer Rentometer Consultants Rentants Rentometer, which tracks three -bedroom houses in 857 cities across the country, including 84 in South California. These statistics do not reflect the realities of the region after Wildfire, but they offer clues for what local tenants of houses pay as 2025.
The average rent of 2024 in 84 local communities was $ 4.152 a month after an increase of $ 122 – 3% – from 2023. Although it may seem expensive, remember that this tenant may hope to own one day.
You know there is a significant catch for home buying. The estimated monthly payment for the South California home of $ 775,000 in November was $ 5.060. This cost of destroying the budget is the reason why the pace of local home buyings is painfully slow.
So, hiring a house in southern California is almost an extra thousand dollars cheaper than the purchase. And a tenant does not need a reserve $ 155,000 to target a 20% advance payment.
Of course, the rents of the local house are crazy compared to elsewhere in the United States
The typical American house, which hires a single-family house, pays $ 2357 a month-half of what is charged in southern California. Last year, US landlords could only receive $ 19 a month, or 0.8%.
This small increase follows the difficult development of new apartment complexes outside California. The new offering has helped to cool the growth of the prices of any rental.
Gap
When we divided the local markets into three and ranked the cities in Southern California to change the price, we found that the largest increases in 2024 were concentrated in more affordable communities. Market search tenants are raising prices.
The typical landlord in these 28 cities charged $ 3.991 a month last year – $ 233 in 12 months, or 6.2% increase. The five most expensive rent increases happened in markets with above average rentals, but these are not luxury neighborhoods.
Hawthorne: He studied at 10.4% to $ 4,294 a month’s rent (29th highest than 84).
Fullerton: Increased 10% to $ 4,231 (No. 32).

Disconters
On the contrary, the 28 cities in southern California with the most pricing were more pricing. The typical rentals were $ 4,465, 12% higher than where the rents jumped the most.
These discounts of landlords reduce what they charged by $ 30, or 0.7% immersion. Rentals decrease in 10 markets, with three of the most significant downturns in the Coachela Valley.
Rentals outside the work centers can lose customers. The demand for remote housing is slipping as the return to the office is growing. The five major domestic rents …

Price
A model rarely changes in southern California: the closer to the ocean, the more you will pay.
Think of the five most price places to rent a house since 2024 are all maritime communities. But the list includes two cities with decreasing prices.
