“Also see gas prices, housing and rental prices, and inflation.”

Gas prices are DOWN 3.6% from a year ago. So are rents:

“Welcome to the February 2024 Apartment List National Rent Report. The rental market kicked off the new year with a sixth straight month of negative rent growth, as the nationwide median rent fell by 0.3 percent to $1,373.1 The recent declines are in line with the rental market’s typical seasonal pattern, as fewer renters are looking to move in the fall and winter, although this year’s dip has been a bit sharper and more prolonged than what we normally see.

“Year-over-year rent growth has bottomed out but remains in negative territory at -1 percent, meaning that on average, apartments across the country are slightly cheaper today than they were one year ago. This stands in sharp contrast to the prevailing conditions of 2021 and 2022, when rent prices were surging and year-over-year growth peaked at 18 percent nationally. But despite this cooldown, the national median rent is still more than $200 per month higher than it was just three years ago.”

You do realize that amounts to a $0.15 decrease in gas prices, right? Hardly a winning slogan for Biden. 🤣
