Median and percentiles are asking rents of whole-home rental listings seen active in the period, rooms and short-term rentals excluded. Overpriced is the share asking 10% or more above what similar listings nearby ask (the lower of our estimate and the median of at least three comparable listings), counted only among listings with enough local data and shown once there are 20. Cells with fewer than 5 listings are not quoted.
