🚨 Renters in Lake County: The Power Has Completely Shifted! 📉👇If you are planning a move or your lease is up for renewal, do not pay sticker price. The historic apartment construction boom has officially hit Central Florida, and renters finally hold all the cards. Here is the raw data you need to know: Prices Are Dropping: Average Lake County rents have cooled down by 4.49% year-over-year. Current Averages: 1-Bedrooms are sitting around $948/mo and 2-Bedrooms at $1,217/mo. Massive Concessions: Corporate landlords are getting desperate to fill empty units. Properties are offering huge perks like $750 off move-in costs or free months of rent. 3 ways to lock in a lower rate today: Shop around: Take screenshots of cheaper neighborhood "comps" and bring them straight to your leasing office. Negotiate the perks: If they won't budge on base rent, demand they waive your application fees, amenity fees, or pet rent. Offer a longer lease: Lock in a 15-to-18-month lease to eliminate their vacancy fear. Stop leaving money on the table. The market is in your favor—use it!
