We'll talk to Wall Street Journal housing reporter Will Parker after the break.

Some good news for renters.

Monthly payments are declining after several years of steep increases.

Wall Street Journal reporter Will Parker joins us.

So, Will, how much have rents risen on average over the past several years?

Renters were really taken by surprise, and their income had fallen off because of the pandemic on a lot of occasions.

So what kinds of declines are we seeing?

What economic factors are causing this shift?

Are we talking rents across the housing rental spectrum where we're seeing a shift in the rents?

What does this mean for renters who've been dealing with double digit percentage increases for the past several years?

Speaking of landlords, we saw them get caught in the middle here, especially when rent payments were frozen during the pandemic.

What does this shift mean for them?

Did they misjudge the market?

What factors could cause rents to turn around and rise again?

That's Wall Street Journal reporter Will Parker, and that's it for your Money Briefing this week.

Before we go, a quick programming note.

We'll be off on Monday in honor of Juneteenth, but we'll be back on Tuesday with a new episode.

Our supervising producer is Melanie Roy, and our executive producer is Chris Zinsley.

I'm your host, J.R.

Whelan.
