When to move
Of the rooms advertised in July with a future move-in date, 373 rooms across the city were for August, 4.6 times as many as for September. Rooms are mostly listed a few weeks ahead, so part of that is timing, but August is also when semester two starts and a lot of students move. If you're looking in Fitzroy North, expect the most choice around the start of each semester. If you've got a room to fill, that's also when the most people are looking. With 71% of Fitzroy North's rooms available immediately in July, there was a fair bit to choose from without waiting.
