Median vs. Average Rent
The median ($1,390) means half of long-term rentals are priced below this point, and half are above—unlike an average, it isn’t skewed by ultra-high or low outliers. For comparison, broker-fee listings often cost ~1 month’s rent extra (e.g., a $1,500/month apartment would require $1,500 upfront as a fee). No-fee listings reflect true by-owner pricing without this markup.
