Q1 2026 metros
Southeast on this page is the Marketbeat metros in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The Marketbeat does not publish a Southeast asking rent. It does publish a South overall asking rent of $8.63 per square foot, with South vacancy of 7.8%. That South figure also includes Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, so it is not a Southeast rent. The lowest overall asking rent among these 28 metros is $4.36 per square foot in Memphis, TN. The highest is $17.67 per square foot in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The unweighted median of these listed metro asking rents is the midpoint of Charlotte, NC ($8.65) and Hampton Roads, VA ($9.37), which is $9.01 per square foot. It is derived from those rows and is not a Marketbeat regional rent. The national overall asking rent in that report is $10.20 per square foot, which is not a Southeast rate. Vacancy in the table is each metro overall vacancy from the same report.
