The Rise of Bay Area Rents

We actually recently made a similar map for a number of metros, normalized by square footage to control for different unit sizes. It's interesting to note the differences in the map between the two metrics (total rent and per sqft):

This is really awesome. I'm also curious to know where you got your data from.

Thanks!

We currently get the majority of our data from publicly available online listings (predominately from https://3taps.com/ and http://www.rentjungle.com/.)

Increasingly, we are also adding actual data from integrations with our customers' property management systems. We think this data set will be more accurate and more valuable, although it obviously takes a lot more work to build.

One of our goals is to be able to understand the difference between listed and actual prices in various markets.
