Discussion about
The numbers I promised Friday... these numbers seem to generate a lot of screaming (mainly from LICC) but I think there is a lot to see in these numbers. Just helps give a more robust picture of the market. Seems to indicate that while we have had a bit of an uptick since the worst of things, the overall median increases - influenced by the blend - might be covering up the apples to apples story....

You know, with prices getting lower, some of the rent/buy equations are starting to look a little better.

With a hypothetical nothing down, monthly payment is $2100 before tax benefits. I figure a studio around there would be running around $1500? That sound right?

Miller Samuel Q3 data out. Overall median down a hair YoY, up 6% QoQ. Category medians are actually up on the low side, down on the high side.

Here is where it nets out... current median vs. peak (max decline in %)

Studios - 19.8% (24.8%)
1 Bedrooms - 15.1% (23.3%)
2 Bedrooms - 18.8% (28.8%)
3 Bedrooms - 31.8% (48%)
4 Bedrooms+ - 59.9% (67.3%)

Will be interesting to see when the panic months transactions hit...

OK, June is ending... anyone want to wager on where the numbers are going this month?

I say things are still pretty nasty out there... but 28.8% down in real terms is a lot in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't be surprised with a couple percentage points increase... but still staying over 20% down...

So, the numbers are out... don't have time for the full analysis yet... but the highlights...

studios down again... to the lowest levels since 2005 (in nominal terms)
1 bedrooms up $25k, 2 bed up $35k, 3 bedrooms bounced back to the quarter before. Median overall 830k... which is where we were at the beginning of 2006 in nominal terms.

I'll try to get the full analysis in the next day or two.

OK, here it is...

overall median up to 19% off peak...

Here they are by category... studios actually hit a low...

Studios - 29.9% (this is lowest point since crash)
1 Bedrooms - 18.2% (26.7%)
2 Bedrooms - 25.2% (28.8%)
3 Bedrooms - 43.1% (54.1%)
4 Bedrooms+ - 57.1% (67.3%)

In real terms, figure you are adding another 3-5% loss...

OK, here it is... manhattan median by categories (with largest decline since crash began in %).

2 Bed are actually near their bottom in *nominal* terms... and we're off the bottom, but not by a ton in real terms. We are at 2004 or even 2003 prices in real terms...

Overall - Currently 19.9% Down (24.4% was peak decline, Q1 2012)
Studios - 17.8% Down (29.9%)
1 Bed - 20.1% Down (26.7%)
2 Bed - 27.3% Down (28.8%)
3 Bed - 39.9% Down (54.1%)
4 Bed + - 19.9% Down (23.7%)

In real terms (using CPI adjustment)

Overall - Currently 23.9% Down (27.5% was peak decline, Q1 2011)
Studios - 21.9% Down (28.6%)
1 Bed - 24.1% Down (30.4%)
2 Bed - 30.9% Down (30.3%)
3 Bed - 44.7% Down (51.0%)
4 Bed + - 65.6% Down (23.7%)

Time point we are at with prices....
Studio - median in real terms is at 2005 Q1-2 prices
1 Bed - median in real terms is at 2004 Q4 prices
2 Bed - median in real terms is at 2004 Q2-3 prices
3 Bed - median in real terms is at 2004 Q1 prices
4 Bed+ - median in real terms is at 2003 Q3 prices
