"An interesting trend in December was the heightened use of rent concessions, with 32.7% of rentals on Zillow advertising incentives," the Zillow report stated. "This is a 0.7 percentage point increase from November and a significant 10.1 percentage point jump from last year."
The study only looks at rental listings advertised on Zillow.
