We are starting off 2023 with a bang! Each quarter the NARPM Southwest Idaho Chapter conducts a vacancy survey with data sourced from local property management companies! This is to help investors gauge property performance and vacancy rates in the respective county that their rental properties are in.
The Southwest Idaho Chapter of the NARPM(National Association of Residential Property Managers) has released its findings from the 2023 Q1 Vacancy and Rental Trends survey. The report is as of March 31, 2023, with 25 respondents. This survey tracks key performance indicators and market trends for single and multi-family homes across the Ada and Canyon County region. There are a total of 5,207 managed between the counties, with a total of 180 vacancies.

The number of vacancies in this report decreased by 90 units. However, the reported number of rentals managed significantly decreased by 2,531 homes. The 1st quarter of 2023 closed out with an overall vacancy rate of 3.46%. The data collected indicates that vacancy rates are beginning to level out. Between Q4 of 2022 and Q1 of 2023, the vacancy rate decreased by .03%, respectively.
