How these figures are made: closed residential leases on the CRMLS MLS filed under Brea since January 2012; the monthly rent is the lease's closing price, and a rent under $500 or over $100,000 a month (a typo or a sale price) is left out. A lease filed twice counts once. Medians, not averages. Days to lease run from listing to lease. Rentals available now counts the live listings for lease. Updated daily.
