What is driving the increase in days on market?

[John Landskroener]

What are you seeing as the biggest increase in the amount of time it is taking to find renters? According to the MLS the days on market is over 80. What I'm seeing is people applying who aren't qualified or calling to ask about qualifications and not even applying. The rates haven't increased dramatically over the last few months but the amount of renters seems to be decreasing. Does anyone think that may have to do with the decrease in attendance at the parks and short term rental owners being forced to flip to long term? I'd love to know what other people are seeing or what they are doing to combat this.
