Has it gone up or down lately? Any trends? Especially with condos.

I can't speak for private rentals, but I know apartment complexes are justifying raising rent every year of this recession due to limited supply when compared to the demand created by displaced homeowners.

Wait until it gets worse, they'll be giving apartments away eventually.

Uhh prices have gone up these past few years during the recession. Usually the price going up is not correlated with a surplus of supply so I'm not sure they'll be "giving" apartments away anytime soon.

I searched for a rental last year (ended up staying where I was) and this year (actually moved this time) and it definitely seems like rentals are getting more expensive. Last year it was pretty easy to find a good SFH or townhouse in the $1100-1200s. This year they all seem to start in the $1300s.

Condo prices didn't change much, but it did seem like there were less places to choose from. And I noticed that a lot more properties come with a lease fee. Last year it seemed that only the most desirable locations (Downtown, WP, etc.) had one. App fees seem to be higher too.

Bear in mind that my search was pretty much narrowed down to Downtown, WP, East Orlando, and Hunters Creek.

How can rents go up when the apartment vacancy rate is 18.8% and highest in the nation? I'm very surprised at the number of options I have. When I lived in other major metros it was slim pickens.

Also surprised to see last months rent not listed upon move-in fees/outlays. Is this normal? I'm used to forking 2 to 3 months rent upon signing.

My son had to pay a credit check fee, first, last, a months rent as deposit and a $250 pet deposit when he rented his house.

I'm noticing this with houses, yes. With apartments and condos - no.

I still have not decided on a place - lol... tons of options. I think a house is too much space for me and the utilities will cost $$$ - however I do like the idea of a garage for my hobby projects.
