Current rent trends

[quote=asianautica]TheBreeze, I concur w/ the 5-10% drop assessment. I wouldn’t be surprise if this summer, you’ll see 5-10% drop compare to last summer too. Since you also saw rent being higher in the summer, Winter 2009 would be an even better time to find a rental. Wouldn’t that mean it’s still better to move now and move again next January, when rent would be cheaper than Summer 09?[/quote]

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable plan. If rent is cheaper this summer than now, it is likely to be cheaper still in the following winter. Plus, setting yourself up to renew every winter (especially if one plans to rent for several years) is likely to save money in the long run as opposed to having to renew during the summer.

I checked out two complexes this morning and got wheeled and dealed by the apartment leasing office. They advertise a low price on the internet, then they do either one of two things.

1) Say that unit with the deal has been rented but we have units just like it for 150 a month more

2) Say that the rent is XXXX, but since that unit has a washer/dryer and A/C, they add 150 to the rent a month (despite the fact that every unit has a washer/dryer and A/C).

I’d really love a little truth in advertising here because I’m tired of wasting my time being dragged to these places.

I don’t make a fortune by any means, but definitely above the median income for San Diego. When I look at these apartments it just boggles my mind how these not even that nice complexes are filled up all with people paying ~1600 a month in rent. Are people really paying 50% of their income?
