The MNS repo...Three quibbles there, if you will: 1. The MNS report is based only on exclusive listings; open listings don't make it into the calculation. These real estate companies' reports are always higher than actuality for this reason 2. As the saying goes, 6 1/2% of nothing is still nothing.

Finally, that combined average rent for studio, one, and two bedrooms seems rather low to me compared to what I've actually seen and rented out in the past month.
