Falling rents in Bay Area?

[Kyle Calica]

I'm wondering if anyone else is noticing falling rents in the Bay Area? 

I've been looking for a new place and have alerts. Lately, these alerts have been going off a lot more than usual. 

I see a difference from last year as well. But these are rentals specific to my search.

I don't have a big enough data set or view to determine if rentals, in general, are sliding. 

Any comment on this from professionals in the field? What is the trend in the market now?

Compass’ market trends reports are my go-to for this kind of info. Their mid-year report on multi-family residential in SF shows that asking rents in SF have been rising slowly over the past couple of years.
