Redfin reports renters move most often in Denver, Austin and Salt Lake City. They stay put longest in New York, Los Angeles and Riverside.

(NASDAQ: RDFN) — A third (33.6%) of U.S. renters have lived in the same home for at least five years, up from 28.4% a decade ago. That’s according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

While the majority of renters move within five years—including 25.6% moving within 12 months and 40.8% moving between 1-4 years—the soaring cost of buying a home has pushed many to stay put for longer. The high cost of moving, or paying rental brokers in cities like New York, has also discouraged renters from moving regularly.

Nearly one in six (17%) renters had lived in the same property between 5-9 years in 2023, compared to 14.4% in 2013. Nearly the same number (16.6%) stayed in the same home for 10+ years, compared to 13.9% a decade earlier.

“Monthly mortgage payments have nearly tripled over the past decade, preventing many renters from being able to buy a home,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. “Rents spiked during the pandemic, but have stayed relatively flat over the past two years as home prices and mortgage rates continued to climb. That has encouraged renters to stay in the same home, where they are less likely to face major rent increases. The recent construction boom has also led to a record number of new apartments hitting the market, keeping rents down and setting 2025 up as a renter’s market where more Americans will choose to rent, or remain renters.”

Older renters more likely to stay in the same home longer than younger renters

More than a third (34.1%) of baby boomers have lived in the same home for at least 10 years, the most of any generation, while 56% have stayed put for at least five years.

At the other end of the age spectrum, more than half of Gen Z renters (52.4%) had lived in their home for less than a year in 2023, the highest share among the generations.
