Renters and investors: check the local rental numbers. Zillow’s October rent index puts typical rent at $3,438 in the San Francisco metro and $3,811 in the San Jose metro—annual increases of 12.2% and 8.9%, respectively. These are metro-level measures, not quotes for every apartment or renewal. Renters should compare similar homes, fees, parking, utilities, and lease incentives. Investors should use realistic comparable rents and allow for vacancies, repairs, and operating expenses. DM me your city and your rental or investment questions.
