Today, there are 40 "reduced" DC rental ads on craigslist... and those are just the ads posted by the technology-savvy. Imagine the number of landlords who either don't know about craigslist or don't know how to use the internet to their advantage at all. Plus, if either the house or the senate changes parties on Nov. 7th, I predict a second glut wave in DC because this administration doubled the housing allowance for staffers (including the multitude of minions) in 2001, just in time to BUY BUY BUY instead of rent. Of course, I could be wrong, but we'll soon know for sure.

I've noticed here in San Francisco, as more houses are on the market and real estate prices are starting to drop, rents are shooting through the roof. No auctions yet, though.
