The Mesquite NV Rental Real Estate Market seems to be picking up - At the end of last year, rentals were sitting vacant for months at a time. Now townhomes and single family rentals are getting a little harder to find and the prices have been going up. As more homeowners have lost homes to foreclosure or short sale, there are more people who will be renting for a few years, while they rebuild their credit and save for a down payment.
Even though there are quite a few people who have chosen to take their home off the market and place it into the rental market, this does not seem to be affecting the rental availability in Mesquite. This may change as more home owners are unable to sell their home at their desired or needed price and put the home up for rent.
Currently there are many condos for rent - townhomes with a garage and single family homes are not as plentiful.

Virginia, I think the phenomena you describe may be happening in lots of markets and it may be a healthy sign as the market adjusts and shifts to the new reality.
Lloyd - I think it is a really good sign.
yes they look so nice but Foreclosures are such tough on to stomach.
