Average rent in Washington
The median asking rent in Washington is $2,950 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 $619,600, that rent level prices Washington at a 5.82% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Washington markets.
