SEASONAL RENTAL MARKET – WASHINGTON

In this area, the rental market is very seasonal.  The greatest demand is typically during the summer months and slowest during the holiday season.  While rents are still high, the seasonal slowing is starting earlier than usual this year.  This is believed to be due to the number of new apartments in the area.  In the last five years, more new apartments have opened in the Seattle area than in the last 25 years combined.  New apartments are offering significant move in incentives – more than doubled what was being offered six months ago. These are affecting even the single-family home rental market.
