With only a few recent lease options, waiting may not improve your choices much.
If you are asking whether it makes sense to wait for a bigger wave of rentals, I would be cautious with that plan. In Wyandanch, NY, there were only 3 new rental listings over the last three months, so this is not the kind of market where a large menu of options suddenly appears.
Rental choice in Wyandanch, NY has been narrow recently. Over the last three months, there were 3 new rental listings, the typical asking rent was $3,600, and a typical listing took 42 days to move.
My advice is to treat limited selection as a planning issue, not a reason to panic. When few rental homes come up, the people who do best are the ones who know their budget, understand the tradeoffs, and can decide quickly when the right fit shows up. Sellers and buyers can also take note here, because limited rental choices can keep more competition focused on ownership decisions.
Decide what you will compromise on before you start touring. Keep your documents together and current. Move quickly on the homes that truly fit instead of revisiting the same choice too long.
