Real Estate Market Update

As we mentioned over the last few updates there is clearly a slow change taking place. The market is clearly shifting with an abundance of available rentals in the multi-family and single-family markets.  The last two months or so have been the most significant in terms of the number of available properties, days on the market, and pricing changes.  The overall experience on our part is that rental prices have leveled off, and there is a lot of competition for tenants that is driving it.  

We are working on publishing a full report using the most recent data and will be sending out an email update on the leasing market very soon. In the meantime, we want to share some articles that provide some data that shows these trends.

The first article was published in June by Reventure Consulting using Zillow data and reflects what we are experiencing.

Real Estate Market Update

The real estate market seems to be cooling off according to a recent article that is based on recent board data.  As we’ve mentioned previously there is more rental property inventory coming online which is increasing competition for prospective tenants and driving down rents.  This trend is continuing and means you must be priced competitively to lease a property, and raising rents when renewing may end up causing a vacancy if it is too aggressive or drives the rent above the market rates.  At least one blogger who specializes in real estate has posted an article recently supporting the assertion that being competitive in the leasing market is more important now than it has been for a long time.
