Turn pricing, vendor performance, and seasonal demand data across 150 U.S. markets, built from real turn operations, not surveys. See how your markets compare on service pricing, vendor wait times, turnover seasonality, and staffing benchmarks.
Report at a Glance
Data sourced from platform-observed turn operations, public market data, and industry benchmarks. Updated Q1 2026.
Four data points that reveal why a single national benchmark fails operators : and where market-specific intelligence creates a material cost advantage.
Turn pricing, vendor performance, and seasonality data spanning 150 U.S. markets, from the top 10 metros to emerging secondary markets. Benchmarks broken out by region: Southeast, Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, West, and Texas & Southwest.
The all-in cost to turn a unit, painting, cleaning, carpet, maintenance, and repairs, ranges from $800 in Brownsville to $2,300 in Boston. Most operators budget a single national average. The data shows that approach leaves money on the table or underfunds critical markets.
Markets like Austin (55%), Charlotte (54%), and Dallas-Fort Worth (53%) see annual turnover rates well above the national median. Higher turnover means more turns per year, and more exposure to vendor pricing variance, seasonal availability gaps, and coordination delays.
In high-demand markets, vendor availability for painting stretches to 9+ days during summer peak versus 1-3 days in low season. Flooring waits exceed 10 days in metros like Atlanta. Operators without pre-negotiated vendor capacity lose weeks per turn cycle during June-August.
Average turn service pricing by category, independent vendors vs. full-service companies. The full report breaks these out across all 150 markets.
| Service | Independent Avg | Company Avg | Range (Low-High) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Painting | $460 | $645 | $250-$750 |
| Deep Cleaning | $200 | $310 | $125-$425 |
| Carpet Cleaning | $140 | $215 | $84-$350 |
| Maintenance / Punch | $72 | $110 | $40-$160 |
| Repairs | $310 | $520 | $200-$750 |
Averages computed across 150 markets. Individual market pricing varies significantly by region, vendor type, and seasonality. Full market-level data available in the report.
Most operators budget turns using a single national average. The data shows that total turn costs vary by 3x across markets, and vendor availability swings dramatically by season. Operators who benchmark at the market level can negotiate more effectively, staff proactively for peak season, and see how their markets compare for smarter planning ahead.
Rent Ready's platform captures this data in real time, giving operators pricing intelligence, vendor performance scoring, and seasonal demand forecasting built directly into turn workflows.
