I just put my house for rent at the base housing office last week and have a question regarding how long a typical listing stays on their database until it is rented? They have a 30 days renewal date so I assume it goes fast enough such that people call within 30 days.


Each installation is different. Peak demand is during the summer months PCS season, typically between May and August. If there are large numbers or returnees from Iraq or Afghanistan at the local installation demand may be high right now. Some installations have been consolidated which drives up demand where troops are moving to. At Fort Riley, KS, most units roll in 24 to 48 hours if they are within 75 miles of Junction City/Manhattan. At installations that are losing troops, housing may remain on the market for months if not priced very aggressively.
why did you not ask them when you were there ? call and ask them
