My 2-bedroom PF cabin is renting for $202/night in Q1, the slowest quarter, with 94.6% occupancy, meaning the rates should have been higher.

And December is historically one of the slowest months. 

Put the time in to meet people: it's the fastest (yet feels the slowest) way to get things done in this industry.

March is generally the slowest month for this area, shut down both properties and did some renovations. 

I don't know the process of probate since I havn't been through it myself but I hv wholesaled several probate house deals that always took at least 6 months to get through that process. but this time I hv a house that I hv had under contract for a year now and the court just seems to be moving the slowest ever.

Over the last 7 years have had an occupancy rate between 75-90% slowest time period being Aug&Sept, but do get many bookings from families visiting parents, those looking to purchase and those coming in for events like 85th birthdays and yes,  funerals. 

September is historically one of our slowest months due to our school years in America going back in session, so trying to get a snapshot of whats happening right now is not necessarily the best idea, I usually advise to look at Quarters and average them out, rather than get too worried about a week here and there.

The Lone Star State was estimated to have a population of 29,527,941 by July of this year, and its growth rate has been consistent over the last few years.California, however, lost an estimated 261,902 residents from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021, which would mark just the second year for the population of the Golden State to fall since at least 1900.https://www.bizjournals.com/au...The Census estimates still peg California as the most populous state with roughly 39,237,836 residents, though the federal agency also surmised the state lost the most residents — 367,299 — to domestic migration.Overall, the U.S. population grew an estimated 0.1% in 2021, the slowest rate in history.

January/February would be the slowest time of year for most. 

Depending on your market, it'll take 30-90 days to rent a unit and considering that you're going to be ready in the new year which is the slowest time for rentals I would list it as soon as you can assuming you have good pics and presentable conditions for prospective tenants to review it.
