Every rental in Cebu on one map
condos · apartments · houses · townhouses
The problem was never that there is nothing to rent. It was that finding it was a lottery.
Feeds you cannot search. Sites you check one by one. Agents who only show you what they have. And the same place, posted again and again, crowding out real gems posted once.
We read 2700 new posts a day instead of you. Only 130 reach the map.
Two out of three are not a rental at all — for sale, rent-to-own, someone looking for a place themselves. Most of the rest is already on the map, posted again. What is left is new, and pinned where it really is.
Take control: Filter 13416 Cebu rentals down to the few that fit — in seconds, not weeks.
Nothing decides what you see first. You set the filters. You keep your own notes. You choose.
How RentMapped works
-
Collects
Housing posts from across the internet. About 2700 a day for Cebu alone.
-
Sorts out
Two in three are not an offer to rent — for sale, rent-to-own, a service, or a person looking for a place. Set aside.
-
Merges
The same property is posted again and again, often by several agents at once. AI matches them by text and by photos, even when the same room was shot from a different angle. One property turned up 327 times — and appears on the map once.
-
Reads
Most listings are unstructured text: "2BR condo, 28k, near IT Park, pets ok, minimum 1 year". That text becomes fields you can filter on.
-
Places
Most posts carry no location pin at all. We read the text for the most precise place it names — a building, a mall, a street — pin the listing there, and mark how precise that pin is. So you search the area you actually want, not a whole district.
-
Tracks
We keep the whole history of a listing: the day it first appeared, when it went off the market, when it came back, and every repost in between.
Find it, judge it, remember it.
Find
- Filter by price, bedrooms, property type, furnished or not, amenities, the shortest term the owner accepts, and your own tags
- Sort by newest, price, or your own rating
- Show only what appeared in the last 6 hours, the last 24, or any number of days you type in
- Show the ones already marked rented, to see what the market took
- Draw any shape on the map and search inside it
- Paste a link to a listing you found elsewhere and see it on the map with its history
- Upload a screenshot and find the listing it came from
Judge
- Every post offering the same place, side by side: who posted it, what each one is asking, a link to each
- How precisely the location is known, and what it was worked out from
- The day it first appeared and how long it has really been waiting — a repost does not reset the clock
Keep
Finding places is half the job. Remembering them is the other half.
- Tags — Shortlist, Visit Saturday, Too far. Your own words.
- Notes — what the owner said on the phone, the time you agreed to visit, why you ruled it out.
- Ratings — rate what you saw, sort your list by your own rating.
- History — everything you have already opened.
- Saved presets — switch between saved filters in one click.
The only site built for the renter
Nobody else really needs you to find the best place for yourself.
Agents and agencies earn only on their own listings. That is what you are shown. A few listings start to look like the whole market.
Feeds are a dump of thousands of posts a day, mixed in with ads, pointless news and the rest of the junk. No proper filter, no proper search. They do not need you to find a place faster — only to keep scrolling. And even with 24 hours a day and no sleep, you could not get through them all.
The same offers get posted dozens, sometimes hundreds of times. Come back an hour later and the one post with the apartment that would have suited you is already far down the feed.
And you usually need a particular area. Landmark names tell you nothing straight away, especially when you are new in the city.
RentMapped is not an agency and has no listings of its own to push. That is why it is the only site on your side.
Find it. Leave.
4.8%
Only 130 of the 2700 posts we read every day are genuinely new properties. The other 2570 are junk or repeats, and we go through them instead of you.
13416
Unique properties on the map, 3807 of them found in the last month. The ones we know are already rented are not counted.
52%
Half of all properties were posted exactly once. Those are the ones you would never spot among the repeats.
Questions
Are you a real estate agency or a broker?
No. We do not own, list, represent or broker any property. Every listing links to the original posts, and you deal directly with whoever published them.
What kind of rentals are on the map?
Whole homes on a monthly contract: houses, townhouses, condominiums and apartments. Rooms, bedspace and boarding houses are a different market with different rules, so they are not here — mixing them into one list makes both harder to search. Short stays turn up where the same place is offered both ways, but they are not what the map is for.
Are all the pins accurate?
No, and every pin tells you how accurate it is. Most posts carry no location at all, so the pin is worked out by AI from what the owner wrote, and it is only ever as precise as that. A named building or subdivision lands on the building. "Near SM Seaside" lands within a few hundred metres. A barangay and nothing else lands at the centre of that barangay, with about a kilometre and a half of uncertainty around it. Each pin carries which of those it is, so you always know how much to trust it — and if you know the real address, open the place, press Report an issue and choose "The pin is in the wrong place".
How do you know a place has already been taken?
We watch the ads, not the owner. Every place is Active, Probably rented or Rented, and that comes out of the signals the ads leave behind: ads disappearing one by one, a poster marking one sold, people telling us it is gone. The more of those agree, the further it moves. It is not a guarantee, and we do not pretend otherwise. We never speak to whoever posted it, and people are slow to take their own ads down, so there is a lag in both directions. What we can do is show the working: open any place and it says which state it is in, what put it there, and everything that has happened to it since we first saw it.
What does "posted 327 times" mean?
Exactly that, and it is our record so far: 327 separate ads we matched to one single place. Reposting is constant, often by several agents at once, each with different photos and sometimes a different price. They become one place on the map, with the lowest asking price marked.
How can I find a place I saw somewhere else?
Three ways, all through the same search box. Paste the link to the ad, and it opens the place it belongs to — with every other ad for it and its whole history. Paste the link to a single photo from it, and we search by that image. Or upload a photo of your own, and we look for it across everything we hold: the same room shot from another angle still matches.
How do I add my own place to the map?
You do not, and that is deliberate: we publish nothing ourselves, we only find what is already out there. Post it wherever you normally would, and we should have it within half a day. If it has been longer than that and it is still not here, tell us and we will go and look.
Tell us about a place we missed →Do you contact owners for me?
No. You contact them yourself, using the original post. We are not in the conversation and take no commission from it.
Which areas are covered?
Cebu: Cebu City, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Talisay, Consolacion and the surrounding metro, including the districts people search by — IT Park, Lahug, Banilad, Mabolo, Guadalupe, Mactan and others. Coverage is thickest inside the metro.
Will you cover other cities?
Cebu first. Adding a market is a configuration change rather than a rebuild, so more will follow.
Is it free?
Yes. Searching the map is free and will stay free — that part is not going behind a payment. The personal tools you sign in for — tags, notes, ratings, saved searches — are free right now and will become paid later. We take nothing from owners or agents, and we do not sell anyone's contact details.
