House rentals

abc123 · 09-22-2004, 05:16 AM

I happen to run a local vacation rental business and can tell you that fall rentals are few and far between. It's difficult to predict foliage season, so renters seeking the fall color often book late and for short periods of time. As for other vacationers, I see a lot of day trippers or people coming for weekends through the fall and not looking for a week long rental. I'm sure your agent is trying to get your rented, but I wouldn't hold out much hope. Also, you cannot expect to get prime season prices as this is not prime season. I often see fall rentals at 25 - 50% off of their prime season rates. Good luck.
ps-You might have to sacrifice one or two of those prime season weeks if you wish to offset your taxes!
