But 20 years with less than 1% per year rent increases?

That’s a 6.4% increase.

Could it be they have too many "students" or are they simply using "shills" and "influencers" to make them seem larger than they are thus attracting more people to give them their hard earned money. 

However, the greater metro area fared a bit better with a 1.2% YoY increase to $443,065.

One thing sticks out in my real estate investment career: the constant increase of influence through acquisitions and activity.

I've searched and cannot find a website that will show days on market and a rent amount (per sqft or beds/baths) and whether they are increasing/decreasing, etc... 

You'll do much better in the high season if you list now with a very attractive listing and hopefully get a few bookings.

My market is showing increased revenue and ADR YOY going into late 2023 and 2024. 75% occupancy for my place last year that went strong all the way through the holidays.

Since as inventory of rental options decrease, the demand for those that effectively operate as AirBnB's should theoretically increase. 

I sold the Ashford Lodge & other properties and Packwood and Ranier as STR's, and think those markets are just undervalued and under-discovered enough to have a good run of appreciation and increased rents ahead of them.
