Green figures indicate effective gross yields higher than the 7.7 percent national average, while red figures indicate yields that are lower. HouseCanary's Methodology H ouseCanary has indexed and standardized 40 years of U.S. residential property data to uncover the most accurate current home and rental values. Based on 1 billion transactions and hundreds of macro - economic and local data points, HouseCanary calculated the single-family, nonowner-occupied portion of these homes and rental values to measure effective gross yields. Effective gross yield is defined as the current fair market annualized rent minus estimated property tax, divided by the current fair market home value. Effective gross yield can be computed for individual homes, U.S. census blocks, ZIP codes, and states, and at the national level. Homeowner association fees and insurance costs are not included, as most investors calculate those costs on an individual portfolio level. ∫ ATLANTA, GA: Median Effective Gross Yield by ZIP Code Within MSAs, effective gross yields vary widely from ZIP code to ZIP code. Atlanta's top-performing ZIP codes generate 25.2 percent effective gross yield, while the lowest generate only 4.5 percent. ≥ SEATTLE, WA: Median Effective Gross Yield by ZIP Code Rising home prices and lagging rent appreciation have compressed Seattle's effective gross yield. But with the highest return at 9 percent, there's still opportunity to find an attractive investment, if you know where to look. MDWELL
