Market updates
March 2026
Two-bedroom competition is tight in the “move-in ready” range, and anything with parking + laundry tends to lease quicker. If you’re targeting the low end, be ready with references and a clear move-in date.
February 2026
One-bed pricing is spread out: older walk-ups and basement units can still show up near the low-$1,400s, but “clean, renovated” listings cluster closer to the mid-$1,500s to mid-$1,600s, especially when laundry is included.
January 2026
The busiest lead flow is around the core commuter-friendly areas. Listings that include parking and have clear move-in dates get fewer tire-kicker messages and convert faster.
