Summary
Southern California’s rental market is cooling down—60% of cities report rent drops, with average one-bedroom prices at $1,921 and two-bedrooms at $2,359. Driven by slower economic growth, fewer new renters, and rising supply, landlords are feeling the squeeze. Affordability gaps are widening: cheaper cities like Ventura and LA saw 80% rent declines, while Orange County bucks the trend with hikes. Top drops hit Santa Monica, Pomona, and Pasadena (down 6%), while Chino and Newport Beach surged. If you’re hunting for a deal, target areas where landlords are under pressure.
