This DOES NOT mean the economy is getting better, nor the housing market. What this means is that the rental market is being flooded by those people that either lost their home in this mess (probably by short-sale or foreclosure) and have nowhere else to go, or to those people that don't believe in real estate anymore as an investment and opt to rent. Geez! If anything this is a horrible sign, especially for American's, because as we all know, landlords are money-hungry-thieves that will jump at the first chance they get to hike their rents as much as they like. With the exception of SF Rent Control districts. Y
