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. Â This may be a temporary situation based on current limitations for other travel.
2) More tenants are looking for multiple weeks. Â 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. Â 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. Â Two of our pet friendly rentals sold this fall, and are no longer an option. Â 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. Â Search our web site and contact me to discuss! Â Tim Kerr Sotheby’s web site
