How long does it take to get a rental on average?

We are trying to rent one of the two units in south Seattle near Beacon hill. How long does it typically take for these units to get rented in Seattle during this time of the year?

Hey @Carlson Driver,

What area of Beacon Hill(it's long and narrow)? I have 2 houses in the area(closer to the lightrail) that rents fairly easily(within a week or two of listing). This time of year is a little tougher since less people are moving. We typically try to get tenants on a summer schedule. I would advise doing a 6 month lease and then switching to a year long lease after.
