COVID + Winter Vacancy Problems

I know now is a tough time for vacancies due to the time of year and also with not as many people wanting to move during COVID. We have a vacancy in Rogers Park now for 3 months and a vacancy in Noble square for 2 months. We've lowered the price $100-125/mo. We are listed on:
-Domu
-Zillow
-Craiglist
-Apartments.com
-Zumper
-Facebook Marketplace
We have always had strict credit score requirements of 700+ and won't budge on that. Are other members having similar issues? Do you have better luck with other listing sites or strategies? We also bought a 3rd building, a 3-unit in Portage Park where we live now (just got the place empty and moved in last week) and will have 2 other vacant units ready to list this weekend. In total we'll have 6 vacancies in 9 units and really need to get them filled.
