Key Factors to Keep in Mind When Analyzing Rent Price Data:
- Hyperinflation: In some countries, rapid devaluation of the local currency during periods of hyperinflation can artificially inflate nominal rent prices. These increases may not represent genuine growth in real terms once adjusted for inflation.
- Currency fluctuations: For tenants and landlords dealing with international rentals, exchange rate shifts can significantly impact affordability or rental income. A strengthening or weakening local currency relative to another currency can either increase or reduce the real cost of rents or the value of rental payments over time.
