How to Price Your Rental (Without Scaring Off Great Tenants)

A quick, data-first approach for Waller & surrounding markets.

1) Start with real comps, not wishful thinking

Pull listings within 1–2 miles, same beds/baths, similar condition. Track list price, days on market, and price drops. Aim to be within 3–5% of the median for similar homes.

2) Watch the “first 10 days” signal

If qualified inquiries are low in the first 10 days, adjust early. A small price change often outperforms weeks of vacancy.

3) Price bands & search filters

Renters search in bands (e.g., $1,995 vs $2,050). Landing just below a filter often increases visibility and applications.

4) Incentives vs. headline rent

Small move-in credits or longer lease terms can attract better tenants without cutting rent significantly.
