What is your rent right now in the Boston area?

Residential rents in the Boston area are likely to increase even further in 2019 as uncertainty in the sales market pushes more prospective buyers to lease.

The region, of course, is already one of the most expensive in the United States for renting. Perennially high demand coupled with chronically low supply makes for some pricey monthly checks.

And the area’s ongoing building boom and the recent commitment of several cities and towns to building tens of thousands of housing units during the next decade are both unlikely to have any immediate effect.
