Learn moreA real, disclosed and unusually wide price spread
Newport's 2026 housing figures span a real, disclosed $496,779-$685,000 depending on whether the source measures typical value (Zillow), sale price (Redfin), or list price (Movoto) -- this record discloses that spread rather than picking one figure, and flags Redfin's cited 49.4% year-over-year jump as a real, disclosed likely small-sample outlier.
A real, substantial, and permit-capped short-term-rental market
AirDNA cites 591 active Newport short-term-rental listings averaging 50% occupancy, a $260 daily rate, and roughly $32,100 in average annual revenue per listing -- but Newport's zoning-overlay permit cap means new endorsements are real, currently scarce and often require joining a waitlist.
One-bedroom long-term rent runs a real, disclosed $1,500-$1,685
This spread reflects genuine cross-source measurement differences rather than a single settled figure -- confirm current listings directly.
