Paying too much for rent in Kitsap County?

November 6th, 2007 by Mark Flanders

Rent-O-Meter screenshotHave you ever wondered if you are paying too much for rent here in the Pacific Northwest? (or anywhere else for that matter) Maybe you think you’re getting a great deal on your place, OR maybe you think your landlord is ripping you off!

Here’s a way to see what median, high and low rents are in your area of the country.

I have no idea if this tool is accurate. It is pretty cool though! When I entered a rent amount for a home in my neighborhood, based on information I received from a real estate agent (not Rich!), I found that the agent was way off on their estimate of what a house should rent for in my neighborhood. The tool seemed to have plenty of properties in it’s database.

See what you think…
