Temple rental market data
A data-backed Temple rental market report for landlords and rental property owners, combining rent trends, active listing context, and ZIP-level rental data.
This report combines citywide rent movement, current leasing activity, and neighborhood-level rental signals. The sources measure different slices of the market, so the page uses them together for context rather than treating any one number as a guaranteed property rent.
The metro index ended at $1,308 in September 2026, roughly flat year over year and up 1.3% from the same month three years earlier.
| Metric | Latest value | Change / context |
|---|---|---|
| Active rental listings | 467 | ZIP 76502 active rental sample |
| Median active rent | $1,645 | All rental property types in ZIP sample |
| Average rent per square foot | $1.22 | Median $/sqft: $1.17 |
| Average days on market | 29 days | RentCast median reported as 8 days |

ZIP-level rental data is useful for property-type splits, bedroom splits, rent per square foot, and listing-count context. For Temple, it helps explain why a citywide number should not replace submarket comps.

The city-level rent data used in this report shows Temple's rental index roughly flat year over year as of September 2026. Individual properties can still vary by location, condition, property type, and tenant profile.
Temple demand can come from healthcare, VA services, logistics, manufacturing, Temple College, family renters, and nearby military-adjacent movement. The best renter profile depends on the property.
ZIP-level rental metrics help show property type, bedroom count, rent per square foot, listing counts, and days on market in a way citywide trend data cannot.
