MNS Real Estate’s Queens Rental Market Report is based on a cross-section of data from available listings under $10,000. In order to obtain a true monthly rental average, ultraluxury properties are omitted from the data-collecting. The data is aggregated from the MNS proprietary database and sampled from a specific mid-month point in order to record current rental rates offered by landlords during that particular month. This is then combined with information from the REBNY Real Estate Listings Source (RLS), OnLine Residential (OLR.com) and R.O.L.E.X. (Real Plus).
