Apartment vacancy up and single family home vacancy down in the Boise Idaho area.

According an article published in the Idaho Business Review yesterday apartment vacancy rate is up slightly to 9.5%. I personally see a wide variety of apartments for rent in the Boise valley. From high end luxury apartments with all the country club amenities to more basic (somewhat older units). From what I am seeing applicants on some of our units are moving down in price point and amenities. Prospective tenants are very budget conscious. As a result I see vacancies higher in the luxury market that the quality mid range and a bit higher in the low end (older) units as the mid priced and newer units have adjusted in price.

 
In contrast to that Tammi Nelson at Idaho Management tells me that they are leasing all of their single family homes very fast and their firm has a 1% vacancy rate on single family homes. Many tenants are people relocating to the Boise area but have not sold their home or are people who have had to sell their home in the Boise area and are now choosing to lease.
