St Louis Rental Vacancy Rate For 3rd Quarter Hits Lowest Level Of The Year

The St Louis rental vacancy rate dropped to the lowest level of 2013 in the 3rd quarter coming in at 13.1 percent for the St. Louis metro area, according to the latest data available from the U.S. Census Bureau.  This year started off with a vacancy rate of 15.6 percent for the first quarter, the same rate 2012 started out with as well, however, in 2012 the vacancy rate fell to just 8.2 percent during the 3rd quarter.   Due to holidays and weather, the 4th quarter usually sees a significant increase in vacancy rates from the 3rd quarter so we could easily see the highest vacancy rates next quarter we have seen in years if the trend continues.
