Listed at $4,650/mo, this rental is within the range of comparable rentals, on the higher side. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In Mount Pleasant East lately, landlords have been getting about 98% of asking and homes lease in about 22 days.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Mount Pleasant East, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.

- Adjusts to $5,800/mo
That comparable adjusts to $5,800/mo; the $3,848/mo estimate above is the median of all 30 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual lease prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are still my in-person call.
