"In September, the platform introduced a new tool for agents to input all of the costs associated with renting an apartment. On the front end, the additions appear below the asking rent via the hyperlinked phrase see full breakdown, which opens a pop-up showing the amount due monthly and the upfront fees required to rent the apartment. The update came on the heels of chatter among agents claiming StreetEasy had removed the Days on Market metric from for-sale listings."
"The count, however, is still featured, though much less prominently. It's now under the Property History section in a bulleted list alongside Price Change. While the changes to its interface may seem small, they mark the Big Apple-exclusive changes amid industry-wide conversations about the finer points of how brokers market their listings. StreetEasy has been fine-tuning its platform in recent months to fit a new set of circumstances."
StreetEasy added a tool allowing agents to input all costs associated with renting an apartment and placed a "see full breakdown" link that opens a pop-up showing monthly amounts and upfront fees. The Days on Market metric remains available but now appears less prominently under Property History in a bulleted list alongside Price Change. The rental cost breakdown responds to New York City’s FARE Act, which prohibits landlord-hired agents from charging tenants broker fees. A StreetEasy spokesperson said the tool aids compliance and tenant transparency. The move of Days on Market was described as a practical interface decision, not a response to external pressure.
