Some landlords are wondering: Is the travel nurse boom over? The answer is simple—no. While the pandemic spotlight may have dimmed, the demand for travel nurses remains strong. What’s more, the monthly rental market is expanding beyond healthcare, with business professionals, relocating families, and remote workers all searching for flexible, furnished housing.That’s where Furnished Finder comes in. With over one million monthly users shopping for 30+ day stays, we’re seeing firsthand how this market is growing—not shrinking.
Travel Nursing: Still a Cornerstone of Monthly Rentals
Travel nursing isn’t new. It’s been part of the healthcare system since the 1970s, gaining national attention during COVID-19. Between 2020 and 2022, the number of travel nurses jumped by 35%, according to The Gypsy Nurse. That demand hasn’t gone away.Healthcare staffing needs remain high. Fusion Medical Staffing projects a 7% annual growth rate in travel nursing jobs through 2030. Chronic illness, an aging population, and regional shortages continue to fuel the need for flexible healthcare professionals—and by extension, safe, furnished housing.Furnished Finder remains a go-to platform for these travelers. Our properties are pet-friendly, Wi-Fi ready, and often located near hospitals—features that matter to nurses on assignment.
The Tenant Pool is Evolving—And That’s Good for Landlords
While travel nurses are still booking in large numbers, the types of tenants looking for monthly rentals have expanded. Business professionals now make up the largest segment of Furnished Finder users. They’re followed closely by healthcare workers, relocating families, and remote employees who value flexibility and comfort.This shift is a growth opportunity—not a cause for concern.
💡 Many landlords only need four tenants a year to stay fully booked. With the tenant base growing more diverse, hitting that number is easier than ever.
Here’s how to stay ahead:
Stay flexible. List your unit for business travelers, families between homes, or those on temporary work assignments.
Go pet-friendly. Nearly 30% of travelers bring pets—adding a pet deposit or screening questions can help you safely accommodate this group.
Consider room rentals. Not every traveler needs a full unit. Room rentals can be profitable, especially in high-demand markets.
Seasonality Still Creates Predictable Demand
Seasonal trends like flu season and winter snowbird migration still drive travel nurse activity. Nurses continue to book 90-day stays, with strong interest in locations like Florida, Arizona, and California. But now, you’ll also see corporate travelers, interns, and others booking in these same windows.Platforms like Furnished Finder help landlords fill their calendar year-round—with less turnover and fewer tenants needed than traditional short-term rentals.
