Boston-area rents generally flat from May into June

Not in Newton, though

Apartment rents in the Boston area stayed pretty much the same from May into June or dropped slightly, according to a new report from real estate listings site Zumper.

The report analyzed the rents on available apartments during May, so it is a pretty good snapshot of the region right now.

As you can see from the table below, one- and two-bedroom apartment rents stayed pretty much the same month to month median-wise, though there were some dips (note the nearly 5 percent decline for Quincy one-bedrooms).

The only real exception was in Newton, where the one-bedroom median spiked 4.4 percent month over month.

As for year-over-year changes, those were a bit more pronounced than month-over-month ones. For instance, in Boston proper, the median one- and two-bedroom rents stayed the same month to month; but they both dropped slightly year to year.
