Average rent in Massachusetts
The median asking rent in Massachusetts is $3,438 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.
Against an average home value of $714,175, that rent level prices Massachusetts at a 6.08% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Massachusetts markets.
