No one can know for certain when we’ll be able to get back to “business as usual” but as property investors, it’s important to stay up-to-date on real estate market data in order to protect our investments and remain on course toward our financial goals. That’s why we’ve compiled data from our own portfolio of investment properties here in Austin, Texas, some 1836PM crafted resources for investors, and other highlights from our go-to industry thought leaders.
The statistics from our own portfolio seen below were collected via the software and systems which we’ve integrated over the years and currently have in place to efficiently monitor our clients’ investments. The information below is also indicative and specific to the state of the housing market since the introduction of the global pandemic in early 2020.
A rental property’s condition and price are key factors that affect the number of days the property will remain on the market before it is leased. The investor, landlord, or property manager must ensure that the rental is in that ideal “make-ready” condition before it goes to market. The property must also be priced fairly and on par according to property specifications, location, and market trends.
*Stats updated quarterly.
Condition and price, as always, determine DOM and the number of showings it will take to lease. 1836PM has been executing and perfecting remote showings for years, and now we efficiently execute remote move-ins with our leading internal and external software and systems.

24 April, 2023Whether to put a rental property on the market while the current tenant is still living in the property varies from one landlord or property manager to another. We can say from years of experience, that to give a rental property the best possible chance to get a great new tenant in, the property MUST be vacant and move-in ready.
1836PM Founder, Matt Leschber discusses where the company began, where it is today, and what made the growth of the company possible. He also details what partnering real estate agents can expect throughout the relationship.
