Over the last month, the average rent in Queens decreased by 1.3%, from $2,279 to $2,249. Studio rental prices increased by 0.2%, from $1,823 to $1,828. One-bedroom rental prices decreased by 1.3%, from $2,222 to $2,192. Two-bedroom rental prices decreased by 2.38%, from $2,792 to $2,726. Over the last year, studio prices decreased by 2.0%, one-bedroom prices increased by 3.3%, and two-bedroom prices increased by 2.34% As we enter a cyclical slowdown point, rental price decreases during September are expected. In addition to this seasonality, an increased amount in both concessions and supply also exerted downward pressure on rental prices.
September was a predictable month for rental prices in Queens. After a four-month build up, rental prices begin their seasonal correction as we head into Autumn. All neighborhood rental price changes were negative except for: studio prices in Ridgewood (+4.8%), studio prices in Rego Park (+3.1%), studio prices in Jackson Heights (+2.2%), studio prices in LIC (+0.1%), one-bedroom prices in Forest Hills (+1.3%), one-bedrooms prices in LIC (+1.1%), and two-bedroom prices in LIC (+2.5%). Overall neighborhood prices were negative across the board except for Ridgewood (+0.6%) and LIC (+1.4%). Year-over-year, the greatest price changes were seen in LIC, Flushing, and Rego Park, where overall rental prices increased by 6.9%, 8.5% and 4.3%, respectively. LIC remains home to the most expensive rental units in Queens. The least expensive studio rentals this month were in Flushing. The least expensive one-bedroom rentals were in Jackson Heights. The least expensive two-bedroom rentals were in Ridgewood.
The most noteworthy occurrence during September was the 8.5% year-over-year increase seen in Flushing. This increase can be attributed to numerous new development rental units that came onto the market in the past twelve months.
As we enter a traditional slow point for the NYC rental market, rental prices are expected to continue their slight correction.

LONG ISLAND CITY• During September, overall LIC rental prices grew slightly, increasing by 1.4%. Most of this growth occurred within the two-bedroom rental sub-market, which experienced a price increase of 2.5%. The delay in typical seasonality slowdown in LIC can be explained by the addition of numerous new development rental units, which exerted upward pressure on overall rental prices.

RIDGEWOOD• Over the last month, rental prices remained stable in Ridgewood. Overall rental prices grew by just 0.6%. Studio rental prices, however, outpaced the overall market, growing by 4.8%. Most of this price growth in the Ridgewood studio rental sub-market can be attributed to the addition of rental units from new developments, such as The Mill at 16-26 Madison Street.

The Queens Rental Market ReportTM compares fluctuation in the borough’s rental data on a monthly basis. It is an essential tool for potential renters seeking transparency in the Queens apartment market and a benchmark for landlords to efficiently and fairly adjust individual property rents in Queens.
The Queens Rental Market ReportTM is based on a cross-section of data from available listings and priced under $10,000, with ultra-luxury property omitted to obtain a true monthly rental average. Our data is aggregated from the MNS proprietary database and sampled from a specific mid-month point to record current rental rates offered by landlords during that particular month. It is then combined with information from the REBNY Real Estate Listings Source (RLS), OnLine Residential (OLR.com) and R.O.L.E.X. (Real Plus).
