The Real Estate Group NY is proud to present the March 2010 edition of our Manhattan Rental Market Report™, the only research on the city’s rental rates published on a monthly basis.

The Manhattan rental market continues its slow return to normality this month. Rents are up 0.62% across Manhattan this month vs. last and the gap in year-over-year numbers continues to close. March 2010 numbers only lag 2009 figures by 1.52%. Vacancies, however, did see an increase of 1.21% overall.

While adjustments from landlords and property managers were sparse this month, as the spring and summer months bring an increase in activity to the market, renters should expect to see steady price increases from landlords looking to recoup some of their down market losses.

A Quick Look

don't forget to summary

or did you forget to read the part that says rents are up this month as opposed to last?

Re: renters should expect to see steady price increases from landlords looking to recoup some of their down market losses [AND] Vacancies, however, did see an increase of 1.21% overall.

hones -- do you see a bit of a disconnect here?

By this logic -- stock prices will rise because sellers must recoup their prior market losses. uhhhh?

hones broker logic:

landlord #1: "I lost a bundle last year as rents fell!"

landlord #2: "Yeah me too. So even though we've got even more vacancies, let's RAISE rents so we can make back those losses!"

fact 1. rents are up month to month since january
fact 2. concessions are being pulled, albeit slowly

the owners are the ones who set the prices, not brokers.

you expect me to say: new hires so you can try and shit all over it
its simpler then that: leases expire every 12 months (or 24). most people move in the spring and summer and they always will except for some lease breaks

net effective rent trends are the only measurement that will show the extreme the rental and sales markets came from..how can they possible get a wide and accurate enough dataset to really see these trends. I think its impossible. concessions were the rule in 2009, to a large degree.

cojones, go try to convince someone to pay you a fee on a no fee rental. Rents are up a TINY amount during a low volume month and everyone knows the reports are skewed by landlords - whoopdeedoo - let's see what happens this summer when 60-70% of leases turnover.

....or as UD might tell you "seasonality." Month over month is useless.

And YOU were the one who spent 84 posts saying inventory was down, when in fact...it was up. Ooooops.

i don't know why i bother, its not as if it matters what any of you think anyway
this is a board where the basic premise of 80% of the posts either slam the real estate industry, or are just opportunities for blowhard know it all's to expound on any something they know very little about
i think most of you are jealous.. you don't have a job where you can get away with doing very little (i'll admit i dont think very highly of my competition) and earn a good income.

> i don't know why i bother, its not as if it matters what any of you think anyway

Yes, because Jim will continue lying to potential clients no matter what we say or what evidence he is shown!

> this is a board where the basic premise of 80% of the posts either slam the real estate industry

And the other 20% are folks who couldn't get into good (or any) colleges so they chose to be RE brokers, and have to lie to get business.

> or are just opportunities for blowhard know it all's to expound on any something they know very little about

Few folks know less about RE than RE brokers... so what's your point?

> i think most of you are jealous.. you don't have a job where you can get away with doing very little
> (i'll admit i dont think very highly of my competition) and earn a good income.

Yes, RE broker jobs... up there with begging, stealing, welfare, for low effort paydays...

No, Jim jones, I have ALWAYS only been talking about YOY increases...you are the only one talking about MOM. MOM is less meaningful because...wait of it...seasonality.

I know it is only 1 data point but...

I rent in a new building just off Bowery and Houston. I renewed about 9 months ago for $3500. At that time they were offering 1 month free to new rentals, but I did not qualify since I already lived in the building.

A friend of mine asked me to inquire about availabilities and rates in my building. They only have 1 unit available (not the same line as mine), and 1 unit coming available next month (same line as mine), they will be asking $3625 and not offering any free months.
