Dave – From my understanding, you are correct on rentometer. It could be likened to what Zillow is for sales – it may get you close but it’s not going to take into account all of the other factors. There are so many factors involved besides just bedrooms and bathrooms – square footage, layout, garage size, office space, and view just to name a few. By averaging, you just can’t get a perfect number.

Jessica,

I think rentometer is a good site to get you in the ball park. But I am pretty sure that it is taking the asking prices for rent off many web sites and then averaging them. I believe it is not taking the actual rent price in to consideration.

Hello

Well done blog. I enjoyed reading it. I always wanted to know if my rent was average in the neighborhoods i was in, but i always had to call around and find out rentals in the area. I spoke to my friends at http://www.homeinspectionspecialist.com and they told me that there is a site out there called: http://www.rentometer.com . Here you can find out if you are Charging too little for rent? or Paying too much for rent? I thought this might be a good resource to share with everyone. I look forward to all the updates.

Jessica

MITS might be a place to start (mitsproject.org). It already defines xml schemas for some parts of apartment rentals etc.
