Sacramento rents rising?

[Kathleen Brady]

Hi, I’m about to rent out a duplex I just purchased in Sacramento and I’m wondering what are people seeing with rent prices. I put them at what seems to be a little more than mid range market rent but the response I got is through the roof. Dozens and dozens of people interested. Is this normal for Sacramento. My previous experience as landlord in the Bay Area tells me that this much interest means I’ve priced the units too low. Considering re-listing them at a higher price but I don’t want to be greedy. Not sure where to go from here.
