PCE Measure of Shelter Slows to 5.3% YoY in June
Here is a graph of the year-over-year change in shelter from the CPI report and housing from the PCE report this morning, both through June 2024.
CPI Shelter was up 5.1% year-over-year in June, down from 5.4% in May, and down from the cycle peak of 8.2% in March 2023.
Housing (PCE) was up 5.3% YoY in June, down from 5.5% in May, and down from the cycle peak of 8.3% in April 2023.
Since asking rents are mostly flat year-over-year, these measures will slowly continue to decline over the next year.
