In April, rent prices in Seattle went up by about 3.5% month over month, according to the latest report from ApartmentList. Seattle had the fifth highest increase in rent prices in April compared to the previous month, among the 100 largest cities in the country.
Compared to the same time last year, rent prices in the city are still down nearly 15%. But recent months have indicated they could continue rising in the coming months.
