What the monthly bill is made of
Every portal we read shows the rent. Not all of them publish the extras below, so each line has its own ad count.
| Item | Median | Ads |
|---|---|---|
| Rent | R$ 4,500 (≈ US$ 824) | 641,695 ads |
| Condomínio | R$ 1,206 (≈ US$ 221) | 497,424 ads |
| IPTU (property tax) | R$ 332 (≈ US$ 61) | 387,184 ads |
| Condomínio + IPTU, quoted together | R$ 644 (≈ US$ 118) | 35,545 ads |
For the middle ad among those that publish both, the condomínio is about 18% of rent plus condomínio — half sit below that share, half above.

How these figures were measured
The prices on this page are recomputed every night from the ads that are live: this reading comes from 641,695 rental ads active on Nov 6, 2026.
Every figure is the advertised rent on its own. The condomínio charge for the building and the IPTU property tax are counted separately and are never folded into these numbers.
Dollar figures on this page are a conversion, not a second measurement: they use one frozen rate, 5.4621 reais to the dollar, from the Banco Central do Brasil PTAX reading for Nov 5, 2026.
