1. RE: Greater Lansing Real Estate Market Report & Some
As expected,The Real Estate Group also continues to receive inquiries from landlords seeking guidance on appropriate pricing for their properties in the increasingly difficult housing market. The combination of these factors reinforces our sentiment that the market has turned in favor of the consumer.That said, the concessions that we discussed in last month’s report, appear to have helped to fill some of the vacancies in the market as consumers use these incentives to upgrade, downgrade or generally use them to their advantage. Still, it seems as though concessions alone will not be enough to stabilize the rental market.Going forward, the economic climate of Manhattan will continue to play a key role. The unemployment rate will be the single most influential factor in whether the year ahead will mark the return of the rental market to stability, or whether the downturn will be more prolonged and pronounced as some are predicting.see more in...Toronto Lofts
