Every person looking for a rental asks the same question at some point: “Is this rent fair?” The tricky part has always been finding the local going rate. Trulia just made that easy.
We’re excited to launch Trulia’s Average Rent trends. These are free market trends that show rent prices for cities across the United States, with breakdowns by home type and bedroom count. Look up places from Dallas to Denver to Des Moines and beyond. The data comes straight from Trulia’s active listings, so you’re seeing what’s actually on the market, not last year’s estimates.
What you’ll find on each page
You can look up a city to get a clear snapshot of the local rental market. You’ll find:
- The current average rent, plus how it’s shifted month-over-month and year-over-year. You’ll know if prices are climbing, dropping, or holding steady.
- Breakdowns by home type and bedroom count. Apartment, house, or townhome, one bedroom or three, you can match the number to what you’re actually searching for.
- Trends over time, rent ranges, and nearby cities to compare against. See the full picture, not just one figure.
Want a concrete example? For example, based on Trulia data in June 2026, in Dallas, TX:
- Average Rent (1BR): $1,400
- Average Rent (2BR): $1,850
- Average Rent (3BR): $2,440
Why this matters for your search
Knowing the going rate gives you power. You can set a realistic budget, spot a genuine deal when it lands, and decide whether a listing is worth negotiating. You can also weigh one neighborhood against another, or a nearby city you hadn’t considered, before you book a single tour.
