Not surprisingly, the demand for rental properties also skyrocketed to record levels last month after Harvey's widespread destruction displaced many Houstonians. Single-family home leases jumped 83.6 percent, while townhome/condominium leases soared 92.2 percent year over year. The average rent for a single-family home increased 7.9 percent to $1,886, and the average rent for townhomes/condominiums was $1,601, up 5.4 percent year over year.
