Americans expect falling home prices and higher rental rates: Fannie Mae

Rentals rates are determine by supply and demand.  Currently the job situation is so bad I don't see a huge demand in rents.
The average consumer expects home prices to decline by at least 0.5% in the next 12 months, according to a new monthly consumer survey from Fannie Mae.
That forecast reverses the trend from May when most consumers interviewed by the government-sponsored enterprise said they expect at least a slight home price increase in the next year
