Most long term tenants are being pushed out of their apartments with rental increases up to $200. Many clients discouraged stating that they have been a perfect resident for 5 years or more and don’t understand why their apartment community is so anxious to “stick it to them” when it comes time to renew their leases.

With a shortage of available apartments in Austin the market has changed. For example 5 years ago in South Austin you could get a nice apartment at an A class property for between 6-$700. Now you cant even get near an A class property in South Austin for less
than $900 and that would be for a 1 bedroom apartment Availability pushes pricing. If a guy has 50 apartments available they lower prices and offer up a massive upfront concession ie; 1 month free 2 months free etc. But when a management company looks down and sees that they are 96% full which has been the case most of this summer and historically most summers then their rates rise to the market rates (the highest rates they can charge for a particular unit). Long term residents are being viewed as a loss and therefore pushed out.

The good news is that in the last two or three months there have been at least twenty new apartment communities open.  There are also at least 100 more on the horizon. This type of news and the historically slow fall and winter months are forcing apartment communities to drop their prices and drop them fast. There are at least twenty communities have dropped their prices $50-$75 in the last month from August pricing to compete with the new properties that have opened or are opening up in their vicinity.

Rental rates are dropping dramatically with the rise of new communities you just can’t be fooled by upfront numbers anymore. The advice is that you always contact a real estate professional procurement of leasing transactions for the consumer are always 100% FREE. With the newer communities trying to fill up their properties they are offering great upfront concessions that will bring the rates back down.

You should always contact an apartment locator before looking at apartments on your own. If that apartment locator doesn’t find you the best deal available and you are not happy enough to move in then they don’t get paid that is your insurance.
