In the assessment of Larissa Gonçalves, economist at DataZAP+, despite the slowdown, when analyzing the accumulated, rental prices continue to rise above inflation.
“Prices in the rental market have been rising above inflation, despite this deceleration that has taken place, in the accumulated, in 12 months, it has already reached 15.95%, well above other indices such as, for example, the IPCA, which is in 7.17% and the IGP-M, at 8.25%. But we have to relativize this result a little, since, during the pandemic, the index grew below inflation in the last two years. Therefore, we consider that this is a market that is in recovery, that’s why there was this rapid increase in prices. Now it is recovering after two years in which there was a real price loss”, he said.
