Property data
RentCast
RentCast provides rent estimates, rental comparables, listing data, and property records for properties across the United States, delivered through a web dashboard and an API. It was launched in 2020 by a team of real estate investors and engineers who had previously worked on the DealCheck analysis platform.
Each rent estimate is calculated from similar nearby rental listings and their characteristics, and is shown with an estimate range and the exact comps behind it. Users can look up any house, condo, townhome, apartment, or multifamily property, pull market statistics, average rents, market composition, and historical rent trends for most US zip codes, add properties to a portfolio dashboard, and set rent targets that trigger an alert when it may be time to raise rents.
Reports can be downloaded as PDFs or shared as interactive links, and RentCast Pro adds white-label branding to them. The API gives access to 150 million or more property records, valuation estimates, active listings, and market trends, and a Zapier integration connects the data to other apps. Coverage is stated as over 150 million residential and commercial properties, 38,000 or more zip codes for market research, and 500,000 property records updated every day.
Pricing starts with a free plan that includes nationwide rent prices, five nearby rental comps, and five portfolio properties. Paid plans are listed at $12 per month billed annually and $19 per month, with four months free on annual billing, and API pricing is quoted separately. Portfolios above 50 units are quoted individually.
