Expectations for Summer 2021

Rental bookings for 2021 are slightly ahead compared to this same time last year.

A few observations based on my local experience, as well as discussions with nearby shore town real estate agents:

1) We have lost some rental inventory due to owners opting to keep their properties available for family use.  This may be a temporary situation based on current limitations for other travel.

2) More tenants are looking for multiple weeks.  They know that a beach vacation can be a safe break, and a happy experience to plan.

3) Even our long time regular repeats are signing leases and sending in checks early.  They want to be certain their reservations are secured!

4) Homes with pools continue to be popular- ideal for social distancing.

5) There are many requests for pet friendly rentals.  Two of our pet friendly rentals sold this fall, and are no longer an option.  Tenants are willing to pay a surcharge and provide references if an owner will consider their dog (often it’s on a case by case basis).

6) Our rental inventory is constantly changing.  Search our web site and contact me to discuss!  Tim Kerr Sotheby’s web site
