Four new apartment properties in Austin, Texas

Sweater weather is doing its best to make a full-time appearance but nonetheless, here we are on the coattails of fall anticipating a fashionably-late Texas winter. We in the apartment biz love this time of year because “fall and winter” can also read as “more move-in specials and better apartment deals!” 

Get ready because class is in session. We’re explaining why moving this time of year is a smart choice and how new properties wager competitive pricing. Plus, we’re sharing pricing and specials for four new apartment properties we can get you linked to! Get in – we’re going (apartment) shopping…

Signing a lease in the fall/winter is a smart move.

Pricing in every city’s apartment market fluctuates on a daily basis. Price depends on how many people are moving and how many units are vacant market-wide. More people moving/fewer available units (aka spring/summer) can mean steeper pricing and less generous specials. Fewer people moving/ more available units (aka fall/winter) can mean more appealing pricing and move-in specials. 

So, why go on to read about new apartment properties if we just told you how it all works? Because the unmatched combo of market seasonality and a dense amount of new, vacant units put odds forever in your favor!

Because newer apartment properties haven’t been on the market as long as existing properties, they’re looking to lease up vacant units quickly. One of the ways they do this by offering more enticing price points and new-tenant specials!

To wrap it all up – there are two main things you should take away from this blog. New properties are legit contenders when looking for your next apartment and fall/winter leasing can offer renters an extra layer of savings!

It’s been a super weird year, but at the end of the day leases are up when they’re up and people are still moving apartments. One plus side to that is that we can take care of everything except unpacking your boxes for you! So, let us know if free apartment help is something that could make 2020 a little bit easier for you.
