Those looking to rent instead of buy in Seattle's red-hot real estate market won't save themselves much.

The Emerald City is the 10th most-expensive rental market in the nation, according to San Francisco-based apartment listing company Zumper. Much to the dismay of renters, prices show no signs of dropping.

The company found the median price of a one-bedroom apartment hit $1,770 in July, while the median for a two-bedroom apartment hit a staggering $2,400. In conjunction with rising rent prices, figures reported by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service indicate median single-family home prices in the city have risen 16 percent from a year ago, hitting a record-breaking $660,500.
