You can’t benchmark against a number you can’t trust
Same data, every asset
Every property in a portfolio gets benchmarked against the same underlying, unit-level dataset — no blending scraped comps for one market with survey data for another.
Track performance over time
The URU (Unique Rental Unit Identifier) follows specific units across time, so a portfolio’s performance against the market can be tracked longitudinally, not just as a single snapshot.
Scales with the portfolio
Whether benchmarking a handful of assets or a national portfolio, delivery via API or bulk feed keeps the comp set current as the portfolio grows.
What makes Dwellsy IQ’s benchmarking data different
Portfolio intelligence from where rents are actually set
Dwellsy IQ’s data comes from Dwellsy, the largest free rental listing marketplace, connected directly to 30+ PMS — where rents, availability, and concessions are actually set.
Data quality without the pressure to maximize listings
Unlike other rental data providers, our marketplace is free for renters and property managers. We do not make money from renter leads — we make money by delivering accurate data.
Market movement captured before it disappears into averages
Changes in asking rent appear as property managers update their inventory, giving portfolio teams a current view of market direction.
Five years of history for testing portfolio assumptions
Coverage begins in January 2020, spanning pandemic-era disruption, rapid rent growth, and the subsequent market normalisation.
Portfolio comparisons built from individual units
Total IQ provides final asking rents for individual units alongside 50+ attributes and 250+ tracked amenities.
Track performance over time, not just today
The URU (Unique Rental Unit Identifier) follows the same units over time, so benchmarking isn’t a one-time snapshot, it’s a running comparison as both your portfolio and the market move.
How portfolio benchmarking teams use Dwellsy IQ
Owners & Operators
Portfolio-wide performance checks
Benchmark every managed or owned unit against real market comps at once, instead of spot-checking a handful of properties and assuming the rest follow.
Identifying underperforming assets
Flag specific properties renting below market so pricing or operational attention can go where it’s actually needed.
Reporting to ownership or investors
Back up portfolio performance claims with unit-level comps that hold up when an owner or LP asks how the number was calculated.
Institutional Investors
Post-acquisition performance tracking
Compare an acquired portfolio’s actual rent performance against market comps on an ongoing basis, not just at the point of purchase.
Cross-portfolio comparison
Benchmark multiple portfolios or funds against the same underlying dataset, so performance comparisons between assets are consistent, not skewed by different data sources.
Longitudinal portfolio tracking
Use the URU to track how a portfolio’s performance against the market has trended over time, not just where it stands today.
Tech Platforms
Build benchmarking into your own product
License the same unit-level comp set powering Dwellsy IQ to build portfolio benchmarking or performance-reporting tools for your own customers.
Consistent methodology at any scale
Every portfolio your platform benchmarks runs against the same underlying dataset, so performance comparisons hold up whether a customer has five units or five thousand.
URU-backed longitudinal tracking, built in
Give your customers performance tracking over time, not just a snapshot, using the same permanent unit-level ID that powers Dwellsy IQ’s own benchmarking.
Dwellsy is one of the most accurate and reliable data comps tools we've used. As an investor, having clean, factual, and real-time comps is a game-changer. It helps us more efficiently and effectively do our work, and we love the product.

FAQ
Can we benchmark a portfolio spread across multiple markets?
Yes. Every asset is measured against the same unit-level dataset regardless of geography, so comparisons across markets stay consistent.
How is this different from benchmarking against scraped or survey-based comps?
Scraped comps carry duplication and legal exposure, and survey data is aggregated and lagged. Dwellsy IQ comps are sourced directly from property management systems, so the benchmark reflects what units are actually renting for, not an estimate.
Can we track how our portfolio has performed against the market over time?
Yes. The URU (Unique Rental Unit Identifier) follows specific units across time, so benchmarking isn’t limited to a single snapshot.
Do you cover both single-family and multifamily portfolios?
Yes, both asset classes are covered in the same underlying dataset and can be benchmarked together or scoped separately.
Can we scope benchmarking to a specific geography or asset class?
Yes. Data can be scoped to a specific portfolio’s geography and asset class rather than delivered as a broad, unfiltered feed.
How current is the benchmarking data?
Data is captured directly from property management systems and updated continuously, not on a survey cycle, so a benchmark reflects current market conditions.
Do you sell renter PII along with benchmarking data?
No. All data is public, owner-disclosed listing information at the unit level. No PII, no private renter data.
