Are lease prices negotiable?
Though many of the corporate complexes have very firm prices, the short answer is that all prices are, in theory, negotiable. However, in a competitive market like West Campus, who gets a property often comes down to who is willing to sign first, and price negotiations rarely enter the equation. Often, a lower price offer will simply sit on the table while a property manager tries to find someone who will sign at the listed price. However, especially for houses or duplexes in the North Campus area, if you find the property that seems right for you but it’s slightly out of your price range, its entirely possible to submit an offer at a lower price. To be considered, offers must be submitted in writing and with checks. This is a great idea for those leasing early who are willing to risk losing a property. Your agent can help advise you on the best course of action, as certain properties are far more likely to come down in price than others.
