Now is the Time to Rent Out Your Home in Palatine

If you’ve been following the market trend this past year, you know that right now is the perfect time to rent out your current home or investment property and get the most return for your investment in the shortest amount of time because RENTALS ARE GOING QUICK! With millions of Americans who either went through a foreclosure or a short sale on their home, there are now many more people who are in the rental market who were not there in years past, making demand go up while supply stays the same. That is why this past year we have seen rental prices at an all time high and the time that inventory stays on the market have been much shorter than in prior years. As you can see in the image below, in the past month there have been 33 rentals that have either been rented or are pending in the Palatine area alone, with rented units averaging a market time of 30 days. Most of these are 2 or 3 bedroom rentals.

As you can see, the average market time for rentals in Palatine in the past month was 30 Days.

Considering that there are not as many transactions in December because of the holidays, that is a pretty quick turnaround time. It is also probably the best case scenario for you as a Landlord, because you will need that time to make sure you have everything prepared logistically (i.e. movers, painters, cleaners, lease preparation, etc.).

We have a lot of good rentals here in our area.  Some transferees coming in who haven't been able to sell their homes are keeping our demand up. Most of our rental rates are very reasonable.

We have a rental shortage in our area too.  Good money right now if you own a home free and clear or even if you have a payment on it.
