  • There are currently 73,607 units listed in Housing Connections!

  • And, did you know?  You can search and post properties for sale at HousingConnections.org free of charge, as well!  So when you’re ready to buy, or maybe looking to sell off an investment property, go to HousingConnections.org.

  • In addition, the site offers Landlords several attractive features and helpful resources:

    • HousingConnections.org offers a Hot Housing News feature for Landlords as well as an extensive “Resources” page with valuable links.  HousingConnectioins.org even links to the RHAGP site as a resource for housing providers to check out!
    • Property ads can be stored online until ready to rent then can be switched on with no need to reload information. There is no limit to the number of properties one can post for free on the site. 
    • “Pre-advertise” vacancies!  When you know a vacancy is coming up but it’s not yet available or quite fixed up for the market, advertise it on HousingConnections.org as “Coming Soon” or “Available within 1-2 months” and get the phone ringing early to avoid costly turnover time.
    • Ads do expire on the site to assure currently available inventory is shown in search results, but it’s never purged – simply login and update your availability as needed to keep your property advertised and continue utilizing this free service.  There’s no need to repost your ads repeated as with some free online services.
    • Post as many pictures as you like (more than 4 may slow those searching via a dial-up connection but there is no limit); post your screening criteria, rental ap, or floor plan, too!        
    • The site is available to you (and to home searchers) 24 hours a day - create your own account and post your property ad all for free in real time!
    • Have questions? HousingConnections is a supported site with live people available to take your call or answer your email inquiries.  Call the Landlord Tech Line at 503/823-4141 or write staff@HousingConnections.org.  (Renters can call the Renter Help Line at 503/802-8562 or write staff@HousingConnections.org.)
    • The site is also free for consumers providing a searchable database (rather than a simple top-down list) searchable by area, schools, accessibility, desired amenities, etc.
