Key Takeaways:

Varied Rental Activity: The number of total rentals observed in March 2025 varied significantly across the reported school districts. Coatesville Area School District recorded the highest number of rentals (27), suggesting potentially higher turnover or a larger rental inventory compared to Avon Grove Area School District, which reported the lowest (1).
Significant Rent Price Differences: Average rent prices displayed considerable variation among the districts. Great Valley School District exhibited the highest average rent at $3,152, while Avon Grove Area School District had the lowest at $1,600.
Days on Market: The Average CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) varied substantially, indicating different levels of demand and market speed. Downingtown Area School District had the highest average CDOM at 57 days, suggesting that rental properties in this area took longer to be leased compared to Avon Grove Area School District, where the average CDOM was only 8 days.
Potential Correlation between Rent and CDOM: There appears to be a potential trend where districts with higher average rent prices (e.g., Downingtown and Great Valley) also exhibit a higher average CDOM. This could suggest that while demand exists at these price points, the pool of prospective tenants is smaller, leading to longer vacancy periods.
