Updated

The latest NYC Rental Index

The October 2026 edition covers apartments first listed September 1 to September 30, 2026. It was published October 14, 2026; the next edition comes out in early November 2026. Each sentence below names its source, so you can quote it as written.

  • $4,300

    median ask, new 1-bedroom

    RentReboot, the NYC apartment-alert service that tracks 900+ rental sources, found that new one-bedroom listings in September 2026 asked a median $4,300 a month, from $2,530 in the Bronx to $5,200 in Manhattan.

  • 3,573

    new listings a week

    RentReboot, the NYC apartment-alert service that tracks 900+ rental sources, counted 15,314 newly listed apartments in September 2026 on the sources it uses for published analysis, about 3,573 a week, leaving out bulk uploads of existing inventory.

  • 34.0%

    in rent-stabilization registry buildings

    RentReboot, the NYC apartment-alert service that tracks 900+ rental sources, found that 34.0% of new September 2026 listings were in buildings on New York's rent-stabilization registry; only 1.3% said the apartment itself is rent-stabilized. RentReboot's own rating, which also weighs building age and size, put 30.0% as likely stabilized: a search signal, not legal status.
