As a spin-off to the other thread. We are looking to move from our basement to rent a house/townhouse. We cannot afford a down payment and going interest rates are insanely high so it’s not worth it to borrow, so this is the best option in the meantime. It seems like asking rental rates are very high though and the masa umatan is getting longer by the week. Many people who I have been in touch with regarding renting their homes I am getting the vibe that it seems like the houses are sitting around. I’m thinking we should wait another month or two because prices will really go down once landlords realise that they need to be more realistic. I’m looking for people to chime in based on actually experience or what they think will actually happen.

I think for homes it’s less likely to go down because there’s more of a demand for Shabbos rentals for houses than basements so it’s not as worth it to lower to just find a renter

We moved to westgate because renting a house was too expensive. We have a spacious 4 bedroom here instead. I heard westgate raised their rent prices though, maybe call the office and find out.

For anything decent (2,000-2,500 sf) it’s 3k-4k

Thanks! Westgate is not for us. We are looking for a more heimish area.

I rented two years ago and house rentals were already high. I’m not sure they will go down much because they don’t sit that long there is a demand and mortgage rates are high so people need to cover it. You can try negotiating for a lower price if you feel they are sitting.

I think the reason house rentals are high is because there is generally much more wear and tear, once you are renting to a family with growing children.

Same. That’s how we ended up in WG. Our other option was to get a small Jackson house but those are definitely more cramped. If you need heimish your options are going to be more limited …

some of the towns around Lakewood it is not legal to have a short term renter.

Many people who buy to rent out for Shobbos find them self in hot water and end up renting out by the month while complaining how much money they are losing

I am currently looking to rent a house in Lakewood. From what I’m seeing , the market is sparse to say the least. The few houses available can ask for a lot of rent because the demand is there. Rent I’m seeing is anywhere from 3500-4000 a month

most of these owners looking to rent out their homes need to pay they're huge mortgage so doubt they'll drop their prices that much or else they'll be losing money each month you live there...

Also-if basement rentals are going for 2k, why would a house not be $3,500. not saying its affordable but the pricing makes sense...

It’s a renters market! Negotiate the price. Most landlords are having a tough time finding a rental. Zero in on an area and decide the price you want to spend. There’s a ton of inventory available now. Use it to your advantage. It may change come spring time.
