So, I decided to check out "rentalhouses.com" to see what was on the market and at what prices

A few really beautiful homes for rent... but soooo many of them were listed with:

"Live in this beautiful home while on the market for sale and save $$$"

I would love to rent an actual house, and not a condo/apartment/townhome... but how many people REALLY want to rent a house that's on the market and deal with realtors, strange people in and out and virtually NO privacy because of it?

I guess I'll be staying in my Irvine Company Townhome a bit longer...

I assume these homes would be priced below the rental rate in the area, since nobody would rent such place unless there are incentives...

Oh, I know who would like to rent it out: some of the IHBrs gave up consumerism and have a minimum of earthly possessions, so moving out wouldn't be a problem. Besides, they might even enjoy meeting prospective buyers during open houses and dispensing our accumulated RE wisdom to the masses. Go schadenfreude!
 
I could do it. There was one stretch were I moved 7 times in 6 years. I am pretty tired of moving. If part of the deal was a free, white-glove move, I might consider it.
 
Oh... check this out....

Some of them are way below rental prices because they are "Staged" and you just occupy them to keep them "show ready". Interesting... guess they don't want our furniture! LOL!

Check out the site and read the testimonials from clients who used the service and what they had to say... they call the people who occupy the homes "Home Managers".

I'm really thinking this is just a way to try and keep vandals, squatters and thieves out...make it looked "lived in". (BTW, Hi GITOC...got something for ya.. YouTube - The Mean Kitty Song )
