Every rent we have recorded
Austin rent history,
one honest point at a time.
Start with your bedroom count. Each tile is the lowest market rent any Austin community we track is advertising at that size today, the community asking it, and how far that floor has moved since the first night we banked it.
1,085 communities in the ledger, 55 days tracked, 8,975 moves recorded, 4,997 of them cuts. Bought, collected and researched daily. Latest update October 15, 2026.

OpenQuestions renters ask about this page
Where do these rent lines come from?
Our daily pricing data, which we buy from data providers, collect from community websites and research ourselves. Every day the advertised starting rent is banked with the date we updated it. A day with no point means the number did not move. The record opens on August 22, 2026 and holds 55 days so far.
Why does the history only go back a few weeks?
We show you only what we measured ourselves. Plenty of sites will draw you a two year line built out of estimates. Ours starts the day we started watching and grows one honest point at a time. Come back in a month and it will be a month longer.
Which size should I look at?
The one you would actually rent. Every number on this page is banked per bedroom count, so pick your size in the chart tabs and the table columns and ignore the rest.
Can I see one size at a time?
Yes. Every chart carries a tab per bedroom count, so you can follow a two bedroom on its own instead of the cheapest home of any size. The solid line is the advertised rent before any special. Where a special was running, a dashed line shows what that rent nets out to on a 12-month lease, so the gap between the two is the special made visible.
What counts as a rent change?
A move in the lowest advertised rent at a community between two banked days. Moves under a dollar are ignored, and a change we did not record on both sides is never counted. Neither is a step that came from a change in the record we read rather than in the rent: the price stays on the chart, but it is not called a cut or a rise.
Does a falling line mean I should wait?
Not on its own. A community cutting its floor often means one cheap floor plan opened up, not that the whole building got cheaper. Call us and we will tell you which home the number belongs to before you plan around it.
Why do some communities have no chart?
A community joins the chart the first day a price for it lands in our data. Some publish nothing public and answer only by phone. Those show as contact for pricing across the site rather than as a number we guessed at.
