These are asking rents on sublets, not lease rates, and that distinction matters. Sublet prices, especially in summer, typically sit below what the same unit costs on a 12-month lease, because the person subletting mostly wants to stop paying for an empty room. Use these medians to sanity-check a deal, not as the market rate for signing a new lease.
Medians beat averages here: one luxury penthouse or one $400 room-in-a-house would drag an average around, while the median tells you what the middle listing actually asks. Buckets with fewer than 3 active listings are hidden entirely rather than rendered from a meaninglessly small sample.
Pricing your own place? How to price your sublet walks through using these numbers, and the subletting guide covers the rest of the process.
The median asking rent across the 144 active student sublets on Wroomly today is $1,922 per month. Prices vary widely by bedroom count, furniture, and distance to the University of Michigan Central Campus. Furnished rooms near campus command the most.
Most Ann Arbor student leases run 12 months, but many students leave from May to August, so summer supply outstrips demand. People subletting mainly want to stop paying for an empty room, which pushes summer asking rents below the academic-year rate for the same unit.

Right now, the median furnished sublet asks $2,000/month (75 listings) versus $1,825/month unfurnished (69 listings). Furniture is one of the two biggest pricing levers in the student market. The other is walking distance to Central Campus.
92% of the 144 active listings with usable dates become available in July or August, and the median advertised term is 12 months. Ann Arbor’s student market turns over on the academic calendar, not month to month, which is why searching in February for a February move-in finds so little.
