SEASONAL RENTAL MARKET

The rental market in the Puget Sound region is very seasonal. Highest demand is during the summer months. Traditionally the market slows after schools starts and is slowest during the holiday season.  While there are tenants searching year round, if tenants have a choice on when to move, it isn’t usually during the winter months.  Despite the strong rental market, we’re already seeing days on market increasing significantly in all areas.  For this reason, we often recommend negotiating a lease term that ends during the summer months. This way the landlord will be in a stronger position for negotiations with either the current or a new tenant.
