Median Rents on Slightly Downward Trend

As we enter into slow moving season, it seems Emeryville rents for both bedroom types saw minimal movement on a monthly basis and are actually on a slightly downward trend year over.

“This makes sense as less renters overall are looking for housing this time of year so there is less of a demand present in this market,” according to Zumper Marketing Manager Crystal Chen. “Landlords who are looking to fill a vacancy as soon as possible, as to not lose months of rent over the holidays, may be lowering and adjusting their rents accordingly.
