02How much do property managers make an hour?
The median hourly wage for property, real estate, and community association managers was $33.65 in May 2025. BLS converts between hourly and annual figures at 2,080 hours a year, so this is the same median per hour, before overtime or bonuses.
03Which state pays property, real estate, and community association managers the most?
Washington had the highest median in May 2025 at $119,320. Arkansas had the lowest at $47,760. These are not adjusted for living costs; the state table above lists every state BLS published.
04What is the average property manager salary?
The mean (average) annual wage for property, real estate, and community association managers was $83,710 in May 2025, against a $69,990 median. The median is the better guide to a typical salary, because a smaller number of high earners pull the average up.
05Does this include owners of property management companies?
No. OEWS counts wage-and-salary workers only, so self-employed owners of management firms are not in these figures. BLS publishes no owner income figure, and this page does not estimate one.
06Does BLS split property managers by job title?
No. BLS counts property, real estate and community association managers as one occupation, so assistant, community, regional and HOA managers all share this one series. BLS publishes no figure for any of those titles alone.
