Twenty-six days is not a trophy. We work the process every day to bring that number down. The market is more competitive than it was. That is why we do not stop at a headline median. Every unit we lease goes on a public archive.
That archive is the Rented Compendium. Listed rent. Signed rent. Days on market. Inquiry and showing counts. HUD Fair Market Rent context. Not a sales deck. The page itself.
This is the follow-on to why we publish our median days on market. That post is the book number. This one is the unit-level proof owners can actually use.
What the Rented Compendium actually is
It is Fortified’s public record of units we listed, marketed, and leased on this site. As published on that page in August 2026: 27 units tracked, a 29-day median on that filtered set, median listed and rented rent of $1,550, and a median of 93% of HUD Fair Market Rent. Ten of those 27 leased at or above HUD FMR. The Fall River 2-bedroom HUD FMR for FY26 is published there as $1,729.
Those figures will move. The page is a living record, not a one-time report. That is the point. Slow leases stay in. Price cuts stay in. We do not pull the ugly ones.
Read the clocks honestly. They are two different data sets, which is why the numbers do not match. The lease-up page publishes a 26-day median across 312 listings since 2019. That is the long book. The Rented Compendium is the published rented set on the site right now. In August 2026 that live page showed 27 units and a 29-day median. Different window. Different sample. We still put both on the internet.
Live listings show the same demand while the unit is open
You do not have to wait until a lease is signed to see the work. Each live unit page on our current rentals list publishes inquiry and showing counts in the hero when we have them. Same marketing stack on every Fortified unit: photos, video, syndication, group tours, $0 to apply.
That is what makes the owner conversation better. If five of our rentals are getting a crowd of showings and yours is getting two, and the photos and video are the same, the market is telling you it is a rent conversation. We would rather have that talk with the live counts than guess over the phone.
If people inquire and almost nobody tours, the fix is usually the calendar: more showing times, different hours, a window people can actually make. If they tour and still will not sign, it is rarely the ad. Something at the unit did not show up in the photos or the video. A smell. Noise in the building. A downstairs neighbor who is a hoarder. We take that feedback from the people who walked it and bring it to you. That is real market data.
| Most local managers | Fortified (published) | |
|---|---|---|
| Book fill time | “It depends” | 26-day median, 312 listings since 2019, on the lease-up page |
| Unit-level outcomes | Private, if they exist | Rented Compendium: listed vs signed, days, HUD context |
| Live demand | Anecdotes | Inquiries and showings on the live unit page |
| If it sits | Late concession or a quiet cut | Compare your unit to the rest of the book, then talk rent |
Why we publish this now
There is more competition for the same renter. That is not an excuse to hide. It is the reason the data has to stay public. We are an AI-first company. We use that stack every day to clean the database, tighten the process, and bring vacancy time down. On the average Fall River two-bedroom, HUD Fair Market Rent for FY26 is $1,729. Every extra empty day is about $58 of lost rent ($1,729 ÷ 30). Ten extra days is about $580. A full extra month is the whole $1,729.
FortifAI Link will soon put those live inquiry and showing counts on the owner’s bookmark, so you can see what came in and what we did about it, in real time. That is how we stay accountable to you. Not a monthly story. The work, as it happens.
Every new leased unit makes the archive more useful, so you can read the book instead of calling us for a recap.
Ask your current manager for the last three vacancies in writing: inquiries, showings, and days to a signed lease. If they cannot show you that, you have no way to see the next empty month coming.
Open the Rented Compendium. Then look at a live unit on current rentals. If you want the fee-versus-outcome argument, start with you get what you pay for. For the lease-up packages next to the 26-day number, use the lease-up page or call (508) 671-7228.
Rented Compendium FAQs
What is the Fortified Rented Compendium?
A public page of units we listed and leased on this website. Each card can show listed rent, signed rent, days on market, inquiry and showing counts, and HUD Fair Market Rent context. It grows as we lease more units. It is not an MLS scrape.
Is the 29-day compendium median the same as the 26-day lease-up number?
No. They are two different data sets, which is why they do not match. The lease-up page publishes a 26-day median from list date to signed lease across 312 listings since 2019. The Rented Compendium median is the filtered set of published rented units on that page. In August 2026 that live page showed 27 units and a 29-day median. Different window. Different sample. We publish both.
Where do inquiry and showing counts come from?
They come from the same leasing demand we publish on live unit pages: unique registrations during the active campaign, not lifetime totals for the address. Counts refresh when we sync and publish the site. We do not invent a showing number in this article. Open the live card.
How does this help if my unit is sitting?
Compare it to the rest of the book. Same photos, video, syndication, and $0 apply. If the other Fortified units are drawing showings and yours is not, the market is usually talking about rent, not marketing. That is a better conversation than a late $500 off after 60 dark days.
Does the archive hide slow leases or price cuts?
No. Listed rent and signed rent both stay on the card. A cut to lease faster stays visible. Slow days stay visible. If we only published the pretty ones, the page would be marketing. We would rather you see the book.
Educational owner briefing. Not legal or appraisal advice. Compendium figures above are as published on the Rented Compendium in August 2026 and will change as the archive grows. The 26-day / 312-listing figures are as published on the lease-up page. Those clocks are not identical. Vacancy math uses HUD FY26 Fall River 2-bedroom FMR ÷ 30. FortifAI Link live demand on the owner bookmark is coming soon, not live today.
