Well, if it makes you feel better, it took 4months for me to rent out an 1800 sqft home in the bay area for $3900 in july.
I was being extremely picky. In hindsight, if I lowered it by $200 for the first six month, it probably wouldn’t have taken 4months, maybe two instead. So in the long run, it would have been better to do that than to kept things vacant for 4 months.
If you lower it too much below market, you end up getting a lot of shady characters.
