Help with pricing our Guest House rent.

First off, thank you all for the great input about where to post it for rent when we get to that point. I’m going to have photos taken…should I post those or wait and send them directly to interested individuals?

Any suggestions on pricing would be so great. We were charging $2500 since 2020 and now I’m seeing from $3000 up into the stratosphere. (If it helps, we are not looking to squeeze anybody, just to be fair and have a great neighbor.) The really nice fellow who just left was a corporate attorney; he came for three months and stayed 5.5 years.

The Guest House is semi-detached so private and quiet. Looks to gardens and trees, but nice and bright with huge windows. Oh. One bedroom with a work alcove, walk-in closet, nice bathroom. No tub, but nice walk-in shower. Living room has a very nice stainless steel and quartz kitchen, washer/dryer, dishwasher. Vaulted ceiling. It’s nicely furnished, two flatscreen TVs, pretty much everything. Utilities are included, along with personal (non-work) WiFi. It has air conditioning. Parking.

The area is great for walkers but has zero walkability in terms of getting to restaurants and shops. A car is essential. It’s five minutes to Whole Foods.

This is so different from the apartments I see advertised. The feeling is charming and more like a cottage feeling rather than the new high rises. You get inside and leave the city behind.

Oh, it has a nice sun deck and a skylight and beams in the main room.

Any suggestions? Anywhere I can plug all that in and get a tighter price range?

Thanks!
