At Oak City Properties, we work with property owners every day who are asking the same question: Is now a good time to rent out my home?
The answer? Absolutely! If you’ve been considering turning your property into a rental, there are several reasons why acting now could be the smartest move you make this year.
High Demand for Quality Rentals
In the Triangle, the rental market is growing and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. With more people relocating to Raleigh and surrounding areas for job opportunities, education, and quality of life, the demand for rental homes continues to rise. Families, young professionals, and retirees alike are looking for high-quality rental properties, and inventory hasn’t been able to keep up.
If you have a home sitting vacant or are considering turning an investment property into a rental, you’re in a prime position to capitalize on this ongoing demand. At Oak City Properties, we’re seeing multiple applications per listing, often from highly qualified tenants.
Rental Rates Are at Record Highs
Another reason why now is the perfect time? Rental prices are higher than ever. In many parts of the Triangle, monthly rents have increased significantly over the past few years due to changes to the area, and experts predict they will remain strong for the foreseeable future. As a property owner, you can take advantage of this upward trend to maximize your income potential. At Oak City Properties, we can help you price your rental competitively while also attracting quality tenants.
A Reliable Source of Passive Income
With economic uncertainty on the minds of many, finding reliable sources of passive income is more important than ever. Owning a rental property gives you the opportunity to generate steady monthly income while your asset continues to appreciate over time. It’s a win-win situation. You earn now from rental payments and build long-term wealth through property value growth.
Mortgage Rates Are Creating More Renters
Higher mortgage interest rates have unfortunately made homeownership less accessible for many potential buyers. Instead of purchasing a home, a large percentage of people are choosing (or needing) to rent instead. This shift means a broader tenant pool for property owners. Many of these renters are long-term tenants looking for a stable, professionally managed home.
By listing your property for rent now, you can attract responsible tenants who are committed to staying put for several years, reducing turnover and keeping your investment consistently profitable.
