  • CoStar analysis shows U.S. retail asking rent growth slowed to 1.6% year over year in Q2 2026, the weakest pace in over a decade.
  • Deceleration framed as normalization, with softer consumer spending growth, elevated interest rates, tenant cost pressures limiting landlords’ pricing power.
  • Lease rollovers still generate sizable rent spreads in high-traffic corridors, with expiring rents often below current market levels despite some moderation since 2022-2024.
  • Most major markets posted slower growth, with several Sun Belt metros still among stronger performers at roughly 3% to 6% annual gains.
