I’ve been watching craigslist.com and the various rental agency sites for about a month now and I’m not seeing much. When we started looking to rent in the city, particularly Canton and Fells Point, two years ago there was a massive amount of properties available. Craigslist.com was full available rentals, there was houses left and right. Places went fast but at least there were places.
Over the past month craigslist.com has had a massive amount of places available north of Baltimore Ave. This area seems to be the main focus of a lot of rehabs and clean ups. I wouldn’t mind living north of the park but unfortunately our friends live south of the park. I’ve yet to have any desire to make the trek through Patterson Park after midnight any time just to get home.
I would think that with all the properties that were being bought and rehabbed that people would be renting the properties they can’t sell. Maybe the renting season is a bit slow and I’m looking a bit early. Lets hope so.
