I doubt all these homes will be rented at this late date.
Several factors could come into play here. Those homes that are available:

Could really not be available, just as a previous poster suggested a landlord that does not update his listing (think of the several item you call about in the classifieds that have already been sold).

Something happened to the tenant that prevented them from being able to travel (I had a guy break his leg 6 weeks before he was supposed to arrive, he was in his late 70s and was not projected to be healed by then, so he cancelled his trip).

The homes might be in areas not convienant to the squares or could be less home than the renter's standards (only a select few would want to rent a trailer home next to a golf cart grave yard).

If you have a quality home to rent, in a clean village, located convienantly to the square, January February and March are never an issue.
