Dear Streeteasy fellow users. My wife and I had a baby girl about 8 months ago and we are looking to move out of the city, I am trying to rent my apartment out and I am just not sure what is the right price, I was hoping to get other people advice. My agent first listed it as $9,500 which didn't generated enough responses and we lowered it to $7,400. We get responses but mostly temporary renters and since I am looking for a long term renter I wanted to make sure the price is right. The apartment is fully furnished since no one put this apartment for rent in my building before it's hard to tell what's the right price. The building's history shows that apartments (studio, 1bd, 2bd) have been rented for an average of 55 per sqf unfurnished so my listing is 59 sqf furnished which I think is the perfect price. I would appreciate your input. Also does anyone knows how long it takes to rent an apartment in today's market? [less]
