You are hit with something new and/or unexpected. Ferris Bueller said it best when observing, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

That’s what happens for many people seeking a new apartment. There is more to it than simply walking into the first community you see and signing a lease. In fact, for many, the first step is looking around and asking about the things that go inside the apartment. And, if you fall within any of these groups, maybe the first thing you should ask the leasing professional in front of you is, “Does this apartment come furnished?”

Either way, one thing is certain: you need to find short-term housing. This is no easy task.

With more and more millennials opting to rent rather than buy, the development of new rental housing hasn’t been able to keep up with demand in 10 out of 11 of America’s largest cities. In fact, according to the United States Census Bureau, the nation’s stock of available rental housing is lower than it’s been in more than two decades. Luckily the real estate gurus at Apartmentsearch.com have a host of useful tools that’ll make finding that rental a snap. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your short-term housing situation, including how to furnish it easily and economically.

Furnished Apartment with CORT FurnitureThere are several great reasons to rent a furnished apartment, the most obvious being “furniture you don’t have to pay for!” But there is a lot more to take into account when deciding between a furnished and unfurnished apartment. Here are some important considerations:

Rarity

Furnished apartments are significantly rarer, which has a lot of effect on your search. Most importantly, it means that the likelihood of finding a furnished apartment in the best possible location is much smaller than finding an unfurnished one. Location is usually the single most important thing about an apartment since it determines the amount of time and gas money you will have to spend to get to the places you need to go, so this is a big deal. That said, if you do find a furnished apartment near where you need to be, it will often save you enough money on purchasing furniture to make up for the extra rent you will pay versus a comparable unfurnished unit. This also depends, however, on how long you plan to stay there.
