I proof read your answer for you: 
Each unit of an apartment usually costs a set price. As for real estate pricing, the monthly payment is usually based on the amount of money put down on the mortgage and the length of the mortgage. I'm not saying that they can't be similar in monthly price, though, since it depends on what city, state, etc you're living in. Indiana REIA provides new real estate guidelines, that ...? .

Very informative! Pretty interesting that one study concluded there was a 1 year delayed reaction. I would expect that rental rates are saner than housing prices, which I think is what you're saying the Ambrose et al paper concludes, since there's no real ability to speculate in rental prices.

<p>I've been trying to find sources that mention this, and have tried to find graphs of data so I can compare myself, but I haven't been able to. Do real-estate sale prices correlate positively, negatively, or not at all with apartment rental prices? A more nuanced answer than that is also appreciated.</p>

Do real-estate sale prices correlate positively, negatively, or not at all with apartment rental prices? A more nuanced answer than that is also appreciated.
