For anyone waiting for a 1-bedroom, I spoke with the lottery office today and the news isn't great. There is currently no inventory, and there is no estimate for when more will become available. Could be tomorrow, could be months from now. Looks like we're going to need to wear our patient pants for awhile longer!

For reference, I am log 15xx and had originally been asked for paperwork last October, was asked to resubmit my paperwork at the beginning of July, was asked if I had any pets in mid-July, and was informed that my application was ready for final processing last week. It was confirmed for me today that I'm at the top of the list for an apartment once they become available again, there just aren't any available.

So the wait continues. It's crazy how differently the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom lists are moving!

Yes, I'm astounded too, because one-bedrooms are numerous. Thanks for the great info. I'm sorry everyone is having to go through a drawn-out process, which is highly nerve-racking even in the best cases.

I was just looking--1-bed market rents are now STARTING at $4800/mo. I know it's frustrating, but think how sweet it will be to get one of those for less than $2K monthly.

Congrats, that's great news! I haven't been checking here as much since I have gotten so discouraged. Where in the complex are you moving?!

Also, does anyone know if they still follow the 2020 AMI to qualify, or do they follow the 2021 or 2022 numbers now?

Some people have posted their units are still being renovated at the time of the offer so they can't see it but can see a video tour of a similar unit.

ChloeNYC,

Are you calling Ms. Pryce? I feel I have to call her every week to make sure she is on top of my file. But yaya24 got her offer so you should be next.

I can totally related being discouraged specially after so many people with higher log numbers got offers already. But I want to believed the the squeaky wheel gets things done so I am calling her once or twice a week.
