When you’re searching for a new rental, you want everything to go smoothly. That’s why the RentCafe.com team is excited to introduce new features that make apartment hunting easier and more efficient.  

Whether you’re browsing apartments on your phone during lunch or comparing cost of living numbers before a move, we’ve got something that’s sure to upgrade your experience. 

Ready? Here are the new features we’ve prepared for you this month. 

1. A brand-new way to save your favorites 

Have you ever been swiping through listing photos on your phone, only to lose track of the ones you loved? Well, we’ve got great news! Now you can save favorites directly from the photos while on mobile.  

No need to back out of the gallery view anymore just to tap the little heart icon. Just save your must-see places instantly while browsing through a listing’s gallery. This new feature was built with mobile users in mind, so they can capture every great find with no interruptions.  

After all, when you’re scrolling through dozens of listings, those extra taps add up fast. But with this new update, you can stay organized, focused, and be ready to pounce when you find “the one.”

2. Fresh, updated cost of living data

Even if you’re only moving across the state, there are plenty of questions to consider about your new city. But one question always rises to the top: 

“How much is this going to cost me?” 

Budget matters, so you’ll want an accurate picture of your living expenses. That’s why we’ve rolled out an update to our cost of living data.  

Trying to decide between San Francisco and Austin, TX? Denver, CO, and Atlanta? With our refreshed numbers, you can easily compare your options with confidence and make an informed decision.  

Did you know? You can take advantage of rent specials easier 

Everyone loves a great deal, which is why we want to make sure you never miss a chance to snag one. With our Rent Specials label and filter, finding savings is now easier than ever. 

How does it work? Well, RentCafe.com is constantly scanning all the listings in your area to detect rent specials or promotional deals the moment they go live. Once a deal is identified, we highlight it with our special label so you can easily spot it while browsing. And for even more chances at scoring a deal, use the Rent Specials filter. 

Next, if you find a listing you love and are ready to seal the deal, all that’s left is a single click that takes you straight to the contact form so you can reach out to the landlord right away.  

The ability to save favorites while swiping through listing photos, refreshed cost-of-living data to guide your decisions, and clearer rent special details — all of it is designed to make your journey easier and maybe a little bit more fun.
