Topfind Market Read

Balanced Market

The picture is mixed here. The typical rental leases in about 8 days, yet 8.5 months of supply is more than current demand absorbs, and rents have eased 22% over the last six months and are 17% below a year ago, so neither side holds a clear advantage. Renters can take time to compare options, while well-priced units still lease at a steady clip.
