Where are California rentals vacant the longest?

"The average American vacancy was 31 days in the past six months that is two days less than 12 months earlier. So, it's slightly more competitive than late 2024. However, empty units are sitting unrented three days longer than the seven-year average. That's a sign the national market is slower than normal. Golden State renters will be disappointed to see that vacant units in all six California metros studied have been renting faster than the U.S. pace."

"Sacramento: 22 days average over the last six months, third-lowest nationally. That's half a day slower than a year ago, but it's one day longer than the seven-year average. Inland Empire: 24 days, No. 5 nationally up two days in a year and three days above average. Los Angeles-Orange County: 29 days, No. 11 nationally off two days in a year but one day above average. San Francisco: 29 days, No. 11 nationally off six days in a year and two days below average."

ApartmentList data from 46 large U.S. metros measured six-month average time on market through November and compared it with the prior 12 months and the seven-year average. The national average vacancy was 31 days, two days faster year-over-year but three days slower than the seven-year norm, indicating a nationally slower market. All six California metros studied showed faster turnover than the U.S. average. Sacramento averaged 22 days, Inland Empire 24 days, Los Angeles-Orange County 29 days, San Francisco 29 days, San Diego 29 days, and San Jose 30 days, with varied year-over-year and seven-year deviations.
