Vacancy review is stronger when listing exposure, inquiries, showings, applications, and signed leases remain separate measures. Each measure needs an observation window and a next action.

Research method

Compare the same property and time window, then record listing changes, response timing, showing completion, and application conversion. Avoid inferring demand from a single inquiry.

Limits

Local market conditions and applicable housing rules vary. This framework supports operational review and does not replace professional advice.
