As we move further into the spring leasing season, the Beaufort County rental market continues to present a dynamic landscape for property owners and investors. At Middleton Street Property Management, we closely monitor these shifts to ensure our clients are positioned for success. This month, we are breaking down the latest data from April 2026 to help you navigate the current market conditions.
Days on Market: Efficiency is Key
One of the most critical metrics for property owners is the average days on market (DOM). According to recent data from Realtor.com, the average days on market for rentals in Beaufort County currently stands at 75 days.
However, professional property management can make a significant difference in minimizing vacancy times. At Beaufort Rentals, we have seen our portfolio's days on market improve impressively, dropping from 45 days in April 2025 to just 37 days in April 2026. By outpacing the county average by over a month, our proactive marketing and tenant screening strategies continue to keep our owners' properties occupied and generating revenue.
Beaufort County Rent Prices: A Mixed Bag
Rental rates across Beaufort County have shown varied year-over-year (YOY) trends depending on property size. Data sourced from Zumper.com highlights the following median rent statistics for the area:
Property Size | Median Rent (April 2026) | Year-Over-Year Change |
1 Bedroom | $1,504 | No change (0%) |
2 Bedrooms | $1,964 | Down 26% |
3 Bedrooms | $2,200 | Down 7% |
4 Bedrooms | $2,750 | Up 11% |
While the broader market has seen some downward pressure on mid-sized rentals, larger properties—specifically 4-bedroom homes—are experiencing robust growth, reflecting strong demand for spacious, family-oriented housing.
Middleton Street Property Management Outperforms
Despite the fluctuating median rents across the county, Middleton Street Property Management continues to drive strong returns for our clients. We are proud to report that our average rent has increased by 9.12% year-over-year for the month of April. This growth underscores the value of strategic pricing, diligent property maintenance, and a deep understanding of what local renters are looking for.
