How to Price a Rental in Lafayette Without Creating Vacancy

Compare real comps, not averages

Citywide bedroom-count averages hide what matters. Pull the last 90 days of rentals within 2 miles that share your type and condition.

Condition justifies rent

Location, parking, outdoor space, appliances and upgrades are the five levers that move asking rent. Fix the cheap ones first: fresh paint and matched appliances typically return more than a price cut would cost.

Watch days-on-market

More than 14 days without an application usually means price, photos, or pet policy — in that order. Adjust one variable at a time.
