Maple Valley Rental Market Report
September 23, 2008 by Colleen Fischesser
Filed under Market News & Updates
Many Maple Valley area home owners are opting to lease their homes rather than sell at a reduced price, and renters now have more variety of homes from which to choose.
In the last 6 months, 33 homes have been listed in the NWMLS for lease and rented for an average of $1885/month. (These numbers only reflect homes listed in NWMLS database). Compare that to last year when only 8 homes had been rented during the same period of time.
Currently the lowest active rental price is $1500 for a 3 Bedroom 1100 square foot home, and the highest is $2750 for a 3400 square foot home. Most of these properties are offered for a 12 month lease term, but occassionally a property owner is willing to negotiate on terms.
Since opening our property management division this year, we have helped many would-be sellers look at alternatives to selling under less than favorable market conditions.

Maple Valley Rental Market Update

If you have considered adding a rental property to your investment portfolio in 2008 (and might I say it’s an excellent time to do so) you may be curious as to what the rental market is looking like in our area.
Year to date 23 properties have been listed & rented through NWMLS in Maple Valley. The average rental price is $1625 with the lowest rent at $950 and the highest at $2990. This average rental rate is up approximately 6% over rental averages for 2006. 
Interest in rental properties is increasing as buyers find it more difficult to qualify for “low down” financing programs and find themselves needing to rent while saving for that downpayment.
Although my husband and I haven’t ventured into the world of Landlords just yet, it’s definitely on the agenda for this year. There are just too many excellent opportunities out there right now!
Enjoy the Ride!

My father was an NFL football coach and we had moved several times throughout my childhood before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. I have come to view the house hunting and the moving process as an adventure, and although it can sometimes be stressful and inconvenient, I love the process as much today as I did back then!"
