Spring is a GREAT time for apartment hunting! Whether you’ve just moved into town, or it’s simply time to upgrade your current living arrangements, the spring season balances the end of the winter rental lull and some of the coming summer boom. Here are a few reasons why now is the time to start looking for your new home:
Seasonal Trends
Summer is when most people jump on the hunt for apartments – it’s warm and nice out, moving will be less of a task, and places around town are looking their best. Conversely, winter is when things typically slow down quite a bit in the rental market. Spring marks the perfect transition between these two periods, and those who are quick on the draw can often find some VERY desirable locations that have just been listed.
School Is Out
If you live in a student city/town, there will likely be a noticeable burst of availability as winter terms wrap up and students head back home for the summer. Keep an eye on listings around schools in your city around this time of year – many landlords will be looking to fill those empty spots as soon as possible!
Rental Volume
Furthering on the point above about college students heading home for the summer, if a lot of places are starting to become vacant, property owners and landlords may be even more motivated than usual to fill their listings. You may be able to find yourself a great deal on a new place to call home!
Time for Change
Spring feels like a time of new beginnings for many of us. Nicer weather means we’re getting out there more, spending time outside and socializing. This change signals a good time to tackle bigger adjustments, too. Apartment hunting can seem like a daunting task, so doing it when you’re in a mindset of change can make it more approachable and less challenging.
