Yep, the bay area is a special case! When I moved there way back in 2000, it was much the same. You are likely one of hundreds of respondents. I finally wound up paying a guy 100 bucks a month to get access to rental listings before they showed up on craigslist and the usual places. I was skeptical, but it worked. Being the first or second caller instead of the hundredth did the trick. I haven't lived there in more than ten years, so my info might be out of date.

"You are likely one of hundreds of respondents." If demand exceeds supply, why don't landlords raise their prices?

  Demand only exceeds supply for good deals. There is a dearth of cheap rooms and rentals. However, if you want to pay $2500 a month for a 1BR you will have no problem finding a place.

    So slowly raise prices until you only get a few responses?
