Let’s face it: nobody wants to move during a blustering Minnesota winter day. Moving in general can be stress-inducing, then adding frigid temperatures and cold to the mix can seem like a chore.

Thankfully, there are many benefits for renters looking to move in the winter! Let’s take a look at how this may be to your advantage!

Less Competition

Just like we said, less people want to move during colder months, which provides less competition to those who do! While Hornig Companies has our apartments available on a first-come-first-serve basis, it never hurts to have fewer people after the apartment you want.

Rent Specials

With less foot traffic viewing apartments, you’ll often see rental specials in the winter. We want to rent our units and with fewer people looking, you could potentially be offered a free parking space, discounted rent, or a storage unit for a limited time.

Experiencing the Heat!

A small but mighty bonus of apartment hunting during Minnesota winters is being able to experience how well the heat holds up in the unit. Nobody wants a cold or drafty home. When you’re shopping for a place to live in the summer, it’s not quite as easy to know how well the heat works.

See Multiple Units

With fewer people out and about looking for apartments, this means there may be multiple vacancies available. When booking a tour with the property manager, ask if there are different floor plans available. You will be surprised how much you may like one over

another!
