AI take
The narrower year-on-year decline suggests the rental downturn may be losing momentum, though the monthly drop shows prices are still softening. The rising rent-to-price ratio is the more telling signal: as home values adjust faster than rents, rental yields are improving, which matters for anyone weighing the economics of holding residential property. Whether the narrowing annual decline is a genuine turn or a one-month quirk is the open question.
