During 2006, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) projected that apartment rents would increase by 5.3 percent, which was double the increase from 2005. Attributing the increase to a combination of factors including the one in three apartment buildings that were converted to condominiums for sale last year, NAR estimates a loss of 191,400 apartments. Compounded by a concurrent decline in new construction, competition for existing apartments has driven rents up, so renting may no longer be the great deal it once was.
