About Our Data
A clearer view of the rental market
Boston Pads has specialized in Boston apartments and Greater Boston rental housing since 2003. Its network includes more than 180 local real estate professionals across 10 offices and satellite locations, along with relationships with more than 20,148 property owners. This reach and direct leasing activity provide firsthand insight into rent prices, neighborhood demand, seasonal leasing cycles, apartment availability, pricing decisions, renter qualification patterns, lease renewals, market sentiment, and changing tenant needs.
Boston Pads calculates rental market statistics using real-time apartment listing and leasing data supplied by property owners, property managers, integrated listing platforms, MLS databases, and its local real estate network. Proprietary monitoring systems and experienced staff update and verify listings throughout the day as apartments enter the market, rents change, future availability is confirmed, and units are leased. Boston Pads rental market statistics are refreshed daily.
Because rent trends vary by location, bedroom count, property type, and move-in date, the figures use rolling averages of advertised rents for non-luxury apartments. Calculations draw from more than 306,278 rental listings and include current data and historical records from the preceding 7 years.
