Steel employment here is long tenure, so the market is driven by retirement rather than by people changing jobs: households that have been in the same quarters for thirty years clear them completely and all at once. That gives up well-kept older full sets rather than the single pieces a faster-moving city puts on the market.

On anything stored through the monsoon, check the back and underside for damp. Township housing is well built but storage areas are often the least ventilated part of it.
