I have a few coastal CA weeks for summer that are not moving. I've been renting out my weeks, about 8-10 weeks each year for the past 12 years. This is the toughest year yet. I've listed on Redweek. I've listed on TUG and Craigslist and even on Facebook. I even listed on Vacationtimesharerentals.
My asking price is low, and I have no competition on Redweek-- there are no other July posters (unlike other years.)
I've had very poor luck. Is it the weather? Is it the oil off Santa Barbara? Is it the market?
I have a friend who is listing her June week (Great time for CA coast-- high demand) for a loss. I have another friend who just rented her July week for a loss in a private deal. I've seen some active listings that are much lower than normal (and not just on the CA coast) and I've seen some last-minute listings that defy logic. (Manhattan Club, full week, for July going for $1k.)
I don't think I'm the only one experiencing a tough rental year. What's going on?
