Bloomington Indiana student rental vacancy at Indiana University

The school year has begun at IU, and for the first time in a few years, I have noticed vacancy at some of Bloomington's "hottest" places, which is odd for the start of the IU semester. 

Is this a first sign that we are finally over-built?  Or is a little vacancy planned and expected by these management companies?   I've heard from one leasing manager who runs 3-4 very big properties in town that there are a surprising amount of empty units.  Also, recently build hot spots like Urban Station and the park on Morton seem to have available units.  Even Echo park which is only a year old and more affordable than downtown has empty units.

    Thanks Charles for the insight... I'm new to BP and new to Bloomington and I've been trying to figure out what my niche will be going fwd. I've been studying as much as I can about the area and I found the following link interesting:  https://cpf.iu.edu/capital-projects/projects/index.html.  (hope it works) it looks like IU projects a lot of growth so my guess is that the developers are just accepting vacancy now in prep for the future.
