Speed of market
How fast rentals are moving
The typical time from listing to a signed lease, and the price band leasing quickest right now.
Days to lease is the MLS days-on-market for closed annual leases — the listed-to-signed time. We don't track showings, so this is not a showing funnel.
Methodology
How the Market Pulse is made
No estimates or models — only recorded leases, computed nightly. Here's exactly how.
Active and closed rentals in the MIAMI/SEFMLS feed for Martin County, refreshed nightly.
Seasonal and furnished listings are classified out so they don't distort the long-term market.
Achieved-rent medians use the trailing 30 days of recorded closings.
Asking-rent medians reflect the listings active right now.
Rents are banded to $500–$50,000/mo to drop entry errors; breakdowns under five leases are suppressed.
Recomputed after each nightly sync; reporting lags 1–14 days, so the latest days are preliminary.

Definitions
Key terms
The midpoint of what tenants actually signed for in closed leases — half paid more, half less.
Asking is the active list price; achieved is the closed price. The gap shows negotiating room or tight supply.
MLS days on market for closed annual leases — how long a typical rental took to go from listed to signed.
How many leases a figure is based on. Breakdowns under five leases are suppressed so medians stay reliable.
Questions, answered.
What is the median rent in Martin County, Florida?+
It updates daily on this page from actual closed MLS leases. We report the median achieved rent for annual (long-term, unfurnished) rentals over the trailing 30 days, alongside the median asking rent of active listings.
How is this report calculated?+
From closed and active rental listings in the MIAMI/SEFMLS feed for Martin County. Seasonal/furnished rentals are classified out so they don't distort the annual market; prices are banded to exclude outliers; medians use the trailing 30 days (achieved) and 90 days (days-to-lease and breakdowns). No estimates or models — just the recorded leases.
Why separate annual and seasonal rentals?+
Seasonal/furnished rentals carry far higher headline prices and short terms; mixing them inflates the annual market that most renters and investors actually shop. We report the annual market as the headline and publish the seasonal share separately.
