Median advertised home size in Leiden
Compare the median size over time to see whether Leiden’s rental stock is leaning toward smaller or larger homes. Movement in the metric can change how rent trends should be interpreted, because a lower median may indicate a more compact mix rather than cheaper homes, while a higher median can lift headline rents without improving affordability.
Figures come from the rental listings Luntero represents for the selected period. Sample sizes differ per location and month, so read short movements together with the underlying listing counts rather than as exact market wide changes.
