Understanding Vacancy Rate

The vacancy rate is a crucial metric for property management and investment analysis. It represents the percentage of total available units that are currently unoccupied. A lower vacancy rate typically indicates better property performance, while a higher rate may suggest issues with pricing, marketing, or property condition.

Practical Applications

  • Assessing the financial health of your property portfolio
  • Identifying areas for improvement in your rental strategy
  • Comparing performance across different properties or markets
  • Setting realistic rental income expectations

Example Scenario

Suppose you manage a building with 100 units, and 15 units are currently vacant. The calculator would show a vacancy rate of 15.00%. This information can help you evaluate whether to adjust rental prices, improve marketing efforts, or invest in property upgrades to reduce vacancy.
