Even as rents cool in some parts of the country, it has never cost more to rent a Manhattan apartment during the month of January than it just did.

January is normally a slow month for housing, but median rent last month was the highest of any January on record and the third highest for any month, according to a report from Douglas Elliman, a brokerage, and Miller Samuel, an appraisal and consultant firm. “Rents are within a whisker of the summer high, and it is only January, which is typically a weaker rental time,” said Jonathan Miller, president and CEO of Miller Samuel. “Almost every price indicator is at or near all-time records.

But in January, as the vacancy rate slipped for the first time in nine months and the number of new leases expanded annually for the first time in three months, rent prices remained strong, climbing slightly higher than December. “The opposite of rising rents is not necessarily falling rents, it is stabilizing rents,” Miller said. “And now rents are moving sideways, if not moving a little higher.
