Filter Data: Positive %
Source: Archer (derived from internal models and multiple data sources)
Data Type: Property Attributes

Description: This measure compares the rent growth at the particular property over the past two years against the median rent growth for the property's top 15 highest-matching comps based on Archers proprietary comp algorithm. This is presented as a ratio with 1.0 meaning that the property has increased rents in line with the median comp property. A score below 1.0 suggests that the property has not increased rents as much as its closest comps over the last 2 years and is therefore lagging the competitive set.

This measure compares the current asking rent at the property against the median rents for the property's "Value Add Comps" to identify the likely upside potential for asking rents if the owner were to undertake a renovation of the property.
