Billion-dollar decisions deserve better than questionable data
The rental housing market generates nearly $1 trillion annually, yet it runs on data infrastructure that hasn't worked in decades, with data that comes from scraped websites full of fraud, outdated surveys, or insider information that's now illegal to use.
Scraped Data
Scraped data reflects random, experimental prices from sites that forbid data collection and contain fake listings, rather than the final asking rent with accurate data. The result is low-frequency, highly duplicated data with significant legal risk.
Survey Data
Surveys rely on months-old memories, hit each property once or twice yearly, and collect community averages instead of unit-level data. Recent legal changes make sharing non-public pricing between competitors illegal.
MLS Data
While the MLS is authoritative for home sales, less than 5% of rentals appear there nationwide. The rentals that do make it are often duplicated extensively.

Making 8-figure investment decisions and setting rents day-to-day based on questionable market data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Dwellsy IQ’s rent data come from?
Dwellsy IQ sources rental data directly from property management systems through our marketplace, Dwellsy.com. We capture public, owner-disclosed listing data, including the final asking rent, which is the final step in a complex and unpredictable price discovery process. We do not collect data through web scraping, surveys, or non-public sources.
How often is Dwellsy IQ rental data updated?
Rental data is updated continuously and in real time as listings are created, updated, or leased.
Does Dwellsy IQ cover both SFR and multifamily rentals?
Yes. Dwellsy IQ provides comprehensive coverage across single-family rentals (SFR and BTR) and multifamily apartment markets. Together, this represents approximately 37% of U.S. rental market supply and around 70% of all professionally managed rentals, with expanding coverage.
Does Dwellsy IQ provide unit-level rental data?
Yes. Dwellsy IQ provides unit-level rental data and also supports community-level and aggregated views, including ZIP code, city, metro (MSA), state, and nationwide analysis—all built from the same underlying unit-level source data.
How far back does Dwellsy historical rent data go?
Our historical rental data extends back to 2020, enabling longitudinal analysis of rent trends, volatility, and market cycles.
Who uses Dwellsy IQ rental data?
Dwellsy IQ is used by a wide range of industries and organizations, including SFR and multifamily operators; PropTech, FinTech, and other AVM and rental data providers; banks and insurers; government agencies, researchers and universities; and hedge funds and asset managers. All rely on accurate, compliant rental data rather than scraped or estimated sources.
Why does Dwellsy IQ use final asking rent instead of closed rent?
Unlike the home purchase market, closed rent data is rarely public, inconsistently reported, and often delayed or incomplete, making it impractical and often inaccessible at scale. In addition, renters are highly idiosyncratic, and signed leases often differ materially from asking rents due tt unique renter circumstances, meaning closed rents frequently fail to represent true market pricing. Final asking rent reflects the price at which leases are executed in most circumstances and captures real-time market clearing. Because it represents standardized, publicly listed pricing, it excludes non-market outliers—such as private discounts or concessions granted to specific individuals. Being public, owner-disclosed, available at scale, timely, and legally compliant, it is the most reliable signal for accurate rental market analysis.
How does rental data differ from MLS data?
MLS data is designed primarily for home sales, not rentals. Nationwide, only a small share of rental listings ever appear on the MLS, and those that do are often duplicated or incomplete. The economics of rentals also mean it’s rarely worth a realtor’s time to get involved, particularly in markets where landlords are not accustomed to paying broker fees, which further limits rental coverage in MLS systems. Dwellsy rental data, by contrast, focuses specifically on active rental listings and pricing, capturing rent-specific attributes and market dynamics that MLS platforms were never built to represent.
Is scraped rental data reliable?
In most cases, no. Scraped rental data is typically pulled from third-party websites that often prohibit scraping and frequently contain duplicate, outdated, “lead bait”, or fraudulent listings. It is also nearly impossible to reliably capture final asking rents through scraping, as those prices may be visible only for a few hours—or even minutes—before a listing changes or is removed. Dwellsy does not rely on scraped data. Instead, it captures public, owner-disclosed rental listings directly from property management systems, avoiding both the accuracy issues and legal risks associated with scraping.
What is the most accurate source of rental data?
The most accurate rental data comes from direct, owner-disclosed sources. Dwellsy sources rental data directly from property management systems, capturing final asking rents at scale. This method reflects real market behavior, updates continuously, excludes non-market outliers, and provides a legally compliant foundation for rental market analysis.
