The SW Idaho Narpm chapter just released the 4th quarter vacancy results.  The results are pretty standard for this time of year, with vacancy up a little.  At this time of year, we find that renters don't like to move due to the holidays and cold weather.  Even in the slower time, First Rate has kept a vacancy of under 1% for the last quarter.  Getting rentals filled this time of year can be challenging so it takes some creativity with move-in specials and sometimes shorter leases.  The average rents overall are still strong for this time of year and with spring renewals we see opportunity to increase rents
