Why can't I get many leads for a Large 4 Bedroom House in NJ?

Hi, I am trying to rent out my house in NJ (because I want to move out of state). So far I have posted an ad on Craiglist and Trullia/Zillow, but after 2 weeks I have only gotten 7 leads. 5 of those I had to turn down because they didn't pass my pre screening (initial credit and income check) and 2 decided they didn't want the  place after seeing it.

I was really hoping to get more leads than this, is it because this is a slow time of year? Or is it hard to rent for a rate this high ($2700)?

Is there anywhere else you recommend marketing it on besides the two sites I mentioned above?

Lastly would you mind taking a look at the listing and giving any recommendations on how it can be improved? Perhaps more photos or a closer availability date?

Thanks.

Jehan
