Key guidance for agents and landlords

There are no aggregated rental market metrics this January 2026, so professionals should base recommendations on actual listings, days on market, and feature mixes.

Tenants and landlords both benefit from tracking what competes best.

Since no vacancy rates or broad averages are published this cycle, it’s critical not to estimate or generalize. Instead, analyze each property separately, watching for changes in demand, rent intervals, and amenities that close deals faster. As TJ Beckman, I help clients navigate rental choices by focusing on current, property-level insights rather than assumptions.

  • Update comps with every new listing
