How to read the figures
- Gross rental yield
- The median asking cold rent times 12, divided by the median asking price of a city's apartments for sale. Closing costs, service charges, vacancy and taxes are not deducted.
- Price-to-rent multiple
- How many years of cold rent the price equals, the inverse of the gross rental yield.
- Listings
- The number of apartments for sale behind the medians. Cities with fewer than 30 listings are left out, because single listings would move their figures too much.
Gross rental yield = median asking cold rent × 12 ÷ median asking price. Asking prices are not transaction prices and running costs are not deducted, so the yield you can achieve is usually lower. Only cities with at least 30 apartments for sale are listed.
