🍂 Fort Worth landlords: is your fall vacancy still priced like it’s June?

Leasing naturally slows once the school year starts, and holding out for summer rates often means a longer, costlier vacancy.

1st Choice Property Management shares how to adjust:

✅ Price to current comps, not summer rents
✅ Three extra vacant weeks can cost more than a small price cut
✅ Fall applicants are fewer but often more decisive
✅ List now, before the holiday slowdown hits
✅ 14 or 16-month renewals can shift future move-outs to spring

Have a vacancy right now? 1st Choice Property Management helps Fort Worth owners price and market for the season they’re actually in. 🏡
