I don't know about those areas but I would assume that a good time would be between May and August when there is a high demand for housing due to the start of the academic year.

I know many leases in the area start July/August with the start of the school year, but lease renewals tend to happen real early (end of fall or early winter) for those wanting to renew for the next school year. But if you're not renting to students, I'd say any season other than winter :)
