Srinivasa Subramanian How do you keep your units filled in the winter?

Winter definitely slows things down in many markets, especially in colder regions.A few strategies that have worked for me during the off-season include:Offering slightly reduced rent for longer lease terms (like 15 or 18 months) to avoid winter lease ends in the futureProviding flexible move-in dates or short-term leases that end in spring or summerIncluding small move-in perks like a rent credit or gift card to boost interest without reducing rent across the boardIncreasing marketing efforts and refreshing listings on listing platforms more frequently to stay visibleIt’s all about staying proactive and making your units stand out.
