Most Rents at or Below 25th Percentile on Rentometer

[Allen Tracy]

Has anyone else seen that rents in Columbus are mostly around the 25th percentile number on Rentometer.com (if not slightly lower)?  I even played with the settings and changing it to 6 months at 0.5 miles and 3 months 0.2 miles.  It's the same with GoSection8 rental estimates.  For two of my tenants Section8 gave a value of lower than the 25th percentile on Rentometer and even slightly lower than GoSection8.com.

Whenever I run the numbers now on a potential property I use the 25th percentile number on Rentometer just in case.  Not sure if anyone else is seeing the same thing.
