COSTS OF RENTS RISING STATEWIDE

Data from real estate site Zillow shows the average price for rental homes is steadily increasing in Pennsylvania.  Experts say contractors’ costs are being passed on to potential renters due to increasing prices for materials, insurance and utilities. The median rental price in Harrisburg has steadily risen since March for an average of about 13-hundred-and-50-dollars a month. In York, the average rental price was just under 13-hundred dollars and in Lancaster rental prices average just over 14-hundred.  The average price in all of Pennsylvania is about 15-hundred dollars per month.
