MARCH 2022| MARCH REPORT: SELLING THE METAVERSE| Erin Sykes, Chief Economist, Nest Seekers International ‘Real estate’ in the metaverse is valuable because it serves as store-fronts for real-world projects and brands and beta tests the potential of new ideas. It can be residential, commercial, advertising, boats, cars, planes or art. Pricing of metaverse real estate is still based on supply & demand (though scarcity is artificial and code-driven), usage, and location. Thus, land value in the metaverse will be determined by what owners do with a property; like designing a popular attraction, experience, or feature and also by visibility proximate …

NEST SEEKERS END OF YEAR REPORT

DECEMBER 2021 | DECEMBER REPORT: SMART MONEY | Erin Sykes, Chief Economist, Nest Seekers International In 2021, we saw NYC come back with a vengeance, with prices soaring to pre-COVID levels. Now it seems things are starting to see things level out, and after 13 consecutive months of growth, closed sales in New York have declined in back-to-back months. For the last 11 consecutive months, the number of new lease signings increased year over year, but at a slower pace. Nest Seekers opened our new Billionaire’s Row flagship storefront earlier in 2021, thus laying the foundation to capitalize on the …

September 2021, US Economic Overview | Erin Sykes, Chief Economist, Nest Seekers International Where is the United States’ economy heading? The combination of a booming stock market, extremely low interest rates, once-called transient inflation that is becoming increasingly sticky, a continuing global health crisis, and increased instability in the Middle East is creating a juxtaposition of opportunity and chaos. Many indicators suggest a cooling of *some* markets, like The Hamptons and Los Angeles, though Palm Beach and Miami show consistent strength. As a nation, we are still in need 2.5 million more housing units, with Florida, California,Texas, Oregon, Colorado, and …

Q2 Recap 2021 | Erin Sykes, Chief Economist, Nest Seekers Record prices have experienced their biggest annual increase in more than two decades, with short inventory being the primary driver. US home prices saw an annual gain of 14.6% in April, the highest increase in more than 30 years, according to the S&P CoreLogic , Case-Shiller National Home Price Index. Interest Rates are expected to remain low until mid-2022, though inflation is accelerating far faster than expected (+4.2% in April, +5% in May +5.4% in June) and is debatably higher than what has been reported. Economic recovery combined with reflation …

MARKET REPORT: A SUMMER IN THE MEDITERRANEAN OR THE HAMPTONS The old adage suggests that the rich summer in the Hamptons, but the wealthy go to Europe. Will this year be any different? After a year and a half of quarantining on the East End, we suspect some may be feeling the itch to travel again and even invest in a vacation home abroad. An unsung hero of European investment options is PORTUGAL, which offers a diverse landscape and supports an active, outdoor lifestyle, much like the beloved Hamptons. With special incentives for luxury buyers, Portugal is worth a nod …

NEST SEEKERS TRENDS & INDICATORS | 2020

A Year of Change | 2020 by Erin Sykes | One thing remained constant throughout 2020 – change. The pandemic shifted front runners and opportunity zones. Home buyers are valuing privacy, safety, space, less regulation, and access to the outdoors while their employers, favorite retailers, and restaurants are doing the same. General interest in real estate accelerated, with Nest Seekers Consumer Sentiment data indicating unique visitor traffic on Nest Seekers’ website up 55% in 2020 over the prior year, and page views up 77%. The Hamptons saw an incredible 794% increase in traffic, driven by both the shift in national …

Luxury Market Report | February 2021 by Erin Sykes | At the beginning of the pandemic, the luxury real estate market fell faster than any other industry, however, within a few months it rebounded with a vengeance and reconfirmed its resiliency. The V-shaped recovery of luxury is also evident in the public sector, as shown by the S&P Global Luxury Goods Index compared to the S&P 500. Demand for single-family homes, private outdoor space and enough room to work remotely will drive robust luxury home sales in 2021, benefiting some of the world’s top luxury markets more than others.

New York City Market Report | February 2021 | by Erin Sykes This year we will acknowledge the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. In the period surrounding the tragedy, millions counted NYC down for the count, saying it would never recover, and thus moved to the suburbs in droves. It was also during this period that Nest Seekers International was founded, growing roots downtown and now expanded to 25 offices worldwide.

MARKET REPORT: LOS ANGELES

In June 2021, Los Angeles home prices were up 24.7% compared to last year, and days-on-market decreased by 27.1% for the same time period. 60.4% of homes sold above list price last month, up 75% year-over-year. Overall, prices increased 8% in 2020, the tenth consecutive year of price growth for Los Angeles, with expectations of closing 2021 with an even more significant increase.

CALIFORNIA LATEST MARKET DATA: APRIL 2022

Although the macroeconomic headwinds continue to rise, California’s economy and housing market have yet to slow their upward trajectory. Home sales remain strong, new listings are increasing, and the market remains competitive. Demand is expected to be impacted by higher rates in the second half of the year, but, thus far, California’s residential market is holding up remarkably well.

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: MARCH/APRIL 2022

After a year of explosive rent growth, Miami has passed San Jose to become the fourth most expensive rental market in the country. The shift in the rankings underscores just how quickly rent has risen in Miami and how sluggish rent growth in the Bay Area continues to be two years since the beginning of the pandemic.

LONDON HOUSING MARKET REPORT: APRIL 2022

At the midpoint of April, housing markets are reflecting a changing landscape. With Americans looking beyond the pandemic toward a new normal, businesses reopening offices and attempting to persuade workers to return, and people ready to embrace warmer weather in vacation destinations, real estate markets are welcoming an influx of new inventory. As Realtor.com’s Spring 2022 Seller report highlights, a significant share of homeowners is also ready to move forward with pandemic-delayed plans.

EMERGING TRENDS IN REAL ESTATE 2022: A GLOBAL OUTLOOK

The outlook for real estate is not just dependent on the direct effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on global economies but also on how the conflict will hit confidence among consumers, businesses (or occupiers) and investors. Against those unknowns, property deal-making is expected to slow down, especially in Europe. There are other potential implications for real estate from the prevailing uncertainty in terms of intensifying existing trends.

WEEKLY REAL ESTATE MONITOR: APRIL 11-14

There were 10.3 pending listings for every 10 active listings, down from the prior period but still higher than one year ago (10.4 in the prior week; 9.9 one year ago).

UK COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE IMPACT REPORT: MARCH 2022

The next ten years will be unprecedented for the built environment. The drivers of change are bigger and more fundamental than many of us have witnessed in our lifetimes, and are also imposing themselves faster than the commercial property trends of recent history. All those involved with the built environment will need to work together to adapt to these changes for the benefit of our ultimate customers: people and society as a whole. The adaptation to climate change alone will involve increasing regulation, requiring all those involved to work together to deliver a sustainable built environment

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: MARCH 2022

Year-over year housing affordability declined. According to NAR’s homeownership affordability index (HAI), at 150.3 for 2021, the affordability of purchasing a home was down 11.5 percent from 2020 [169.9], when it had increased 6.4 percent over the previous year. The decline in homeownership affordability was driven by rising home prices which more than offset lower interest rates and higher income. HUD’s Rental Affordability Index (RAI), at 96.3 for 2021, was estimated to decline 7.5 percent from 2020 [104.0]. The inflation-adjusted, median rental price for 2021 was 5.1 percent higher than in 2020, while the typical, inflation-adjusted, income of rental households …

COMMERCIAL MARKET INSIGHTS: MARCH 2022

The commercial real estate market continued to see rising occupancy, rents, and investor acquisitions in February 2022, with the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war and upswing in interest rates still likely to manifest in the coming months in some commercial segments. In the apartment market, 571,669 units were absorbed in the past 12 months through March 26, outpacing the 404,152 units delivered into the market (supply). The vacancy rate remains at a low 5%, pushing asking rents up 11% year-over-year on average.

UK ECONOMY & PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE FEBRUARY 2022

Inflation pressures continue to grow leading to a shift in stance from the Bank of England. Despite the hikes in interest rates seen to date and the prospect of more to come, for now it is anticipated that the economy will remain relatively resilient. Consumers are expected to draw heavily on the build-up of savings during the pandemic and business investment is seen picking-up on the back of the tax incentive introduced last year. This is reflected in the feedback provided to recent RICS surveys of the construction sector as well as the commercial and residential markets which generally remain …

2022 COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK

As we turn the corner on 2021, hopes that we would be doing the same on COVID-19 have stalled. The Delta variant has clouded the near-term outlook as vaccination, masking, and social distancing requirements have impacted commercial work and gathering facilities. The commercial real estate (CRE) industry is positioned at the forefront of the recovery: Office employers are balancing productivity and safety; retailers face critical turning points in an evolving industry; residences are competing for tenancy amid shifting migration patterns and heightened affordability concerns.

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: JANUARY 2022

By the end of January 2023, the typical U.S. home is expected to be worth more than $380,000. The robust long-term outlook is driven by our expectations for tight market conditions to persist, with demand for housing exceeding the supply of available homes.

In January 2022, existing-home sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.5 million – an increase of 6.7% from the prior month, with sales up in all regions.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TRENDS: FEBRUARY 2022

The year 2021 was a remarkable year for the commercial real estate market because it bucked expectations of a prolonged downturn. While the office property market had a huge loss in office occupancy of about 143 million square feet from 2020 Q2 through December 2021, absorption increased in the multifamily, industrial, and retail trade sectors. Since the pandemic, about 1 million more rental apartment units have been absorbed through December 2021.

U.S. REAL ESTATE MARKET OUTLOOK 2022

CBRE is maintaining a positive outlook for the economy and commercial real estate in 2022, despite uncertainty over potential impacts of the COVID omicron variant and other risks. While the new variant will impact the timing of a large-scale return to the office, fiscal and monetary policy remains highly supportive of economic growth. There may be other bumps along the way, notably from the ripple effects of an economic slowdown in China and rising oil prices, but the factors that held back growth in 2021—labor shortages, supply disruptions, inflation and other COVID variants—will ease.

WEEKLY REAL ESTATE MONITOR: JANUARY 24-27 2022

According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Price Index, existing single family home prices rose 18.8% during the 3-month period of September-November (reported as November 2021 figures).

All core commercial sectors ―multifamily, office, industrial, and retail ―experienced net positive absorption during last quarter of 2021 through January. As such, rents continue to rise and vacancy rates continue to trending downwards except in the office market.

EMEA REAL ESTATE MARKET OUTLOOK 2022

2021 was punctuated by periodic restrictions in a number of European markets, but was not dominated by the Covid pandemic to quite the same extent as the previous year. The recent increase in case numbers, and adoption of new restrictions in parts of Europe, highlight the continuing risks. In the short term the uncertainties associated with the Omicron variant mean that the range of possible outcomes is still wide.

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: JANUARY 2022

While rent growth showed signs of slowing down at the end of what was a torrid 2021, January’s data show rent hitting yet another all-time high, with median one-bedroom rent up 12 percent year-over-year nationally. The median two-bedroom rent is up 14.1 percent year-over-year.

UK REAL ESTATE MARKET OUTLOOK 2022

Our 2021 Outlook was titled 'new beginnings', and yet for much of the year it has felt like more of the same, with Covid-19 remaining centre stage and continued Brexit rumblings in the background. But the underlying sentiment was true, and looking back over the year, it's clear we have moved forward, and we go into 2022 with a renewed sense of optimism.

NYSAR MONTHLY INDICATORS: DECEMBER 2021

The 2021 housing market was one for the history books. After three consecutive months of increases recently, existing home sales are on pace to hit their highest level in 15 years, with an estimated 6 million homes sold in 2021 according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Sales prices reached new heights, inventory hit rock bottom, and homes sold in record time, often for well above asking price.

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: DECEMBER, 2021

LONDON HOUSING MARKET REPORT: DECEMBER 2021

Data from the SpareRoom website show a fall in both the number of rooms available for flatsharing in London and the number of people searching for rooms from Q2 to Q3 2021. A significant fall in the availability of rooms has occurred in central London, where demand for rooms is more than double the supply, indicating that renters are returning in large numbers to the area.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: NOVEMBER 20

While the frenzied housing market from earlier this year has plateaued, home sales are still outpacing the levels observed in recent years prior to the pandemic. Homebuyers continued to be motivated by low interest rates and some buyers who had been sidelined by fierce market competition might have jumped back into the market in the last couple months as it started showing signs of easing.

WEEKLY REAL ESTATE MONITOR: NOVEMBER 15-18

The housing market doesn’t appear to be ready to taper off just yet, perhaps as buyers try to beat the further increase in mortgage rates. Preliminary data on contracts signings (pending sales) in the past four weeks ended November 14 rose 4.2% compared to the rolling 4-week level of contract signings four weeks ago (prior month).

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT - NOVEMBER 2021

Rent has been rising at an alarming rate all over the country throughout 2021, but Zumper’s National Rent Index for November shows for the first time this year a slower pace of rent growth that more closely resembles historical norms. Is this a sign that the rental market is finally cooling off just a blip after months of unsustainable growth?

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: OCTOBER, 2021

Sales of existing homes rebounded. The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) reported that September sales of existing homes (including single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and cooperatives) rose 7.0 percent to 6.29 million units (SAAR) from a pace of 5.88 million in August but were 2.3 percent below a year earlier.

COMMERCIAL MARKET INSIGHTS: OCTOBER 2021

In the office market, occupancy increased by another 1.8 million square feet on a quarterly basis as of October 23, following a quarterly increase of 8 million square feet in September. However, the recovery process has a long way to go, with 128.4 million square feet of office space released back to the market since 2020 Q2. Secondary/tertiary markets are leading the recovery as office rents continue to decline in the primary markets of New York, Chicago, Washington, DC, and San Francisco. With 139.7 million square feet of office space under construction,

EMERGING TRENDS IN AMERICAN REAL ESTATE 2022

The months since the pandemic hit in March 2020 have presented the property sector with an unending series of unprecedented challenges and enormous, rapid shifts. What do they portend for the industry going forward? The theme that emerged more than any other during the Emerging Trends interviews with industry leaders was the surprising resilience of the economy and of property markets generally, inspiring greater confidence in the industry’s collective capacity to adapt to changing market conditions and future unknown risks.

EMERGING TRENDS IN EUROPEAN REAL ESTATE 2022

Industry leaders draw comfort from the strength of economic growth across much of Europe following government and central bank support measures. As a result, business confidence and profitability expectations have recovered to pre-COVID levels. For many, this means the performance of real estate looks relatively strong for 2022 with higher forecast returns than a year ago.

NYSAR MONTHLY INDICATORS: OCTOBER 2021

The U.S. housing market remains robust, with strong activity reported across both rental and residential housing fronts. Single-family rent prices are increasing rapidly, as demand for single-family housing and inventory constraints forces some buyers to rent, increasing competition and pushing rents up across the nation. Meanwhile, sales of new construction single-family homes recently hit a six-month high, rising 14% to a seasonally adjusted rate of 800,000, according to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

EUROPE - CRE 360 REPORT, SEPTEMBER 2021

The first half of the year has seen a broad-based improvement in business and consumer sentiment in advanced economies. This stems from accelerating vaccination campaigns plus declining number of new infections leading to the easing of Covid-19-related restrictions. It is aided by ongoing policy support, both monetary and fiscal. However, the elevated levels of business surveys may scale back over the rest of the year as the European situation evolves.

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT, SEPTEMBER 2021

Scottsdale, AZ, one of a number of Phoenix area suburbs that’s experienced substantial rent growth over the course of the pandemic, is now the 10th most expensive market in the country among the 100 most populous cities in the US, after rent rose 5.1 percent in September.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: OCTOBER 2, 2021

The housing market continues to adjust as we move into the off season. Home prices are cooling off and we will unlikely see another record statewide median price before 2022. While fewer listings are expected to come onto the market in the fall than in the spring homebuying season, sales actually remain solid despite some pullback in demand due to recent rate hikes. With the economic recovery remaining on course but progressing at a slower pace than anticipated, inflationary pressure will hopefully ease in coming months. Rates are expected to rise modestly but will remain low, and the housing market …

ZILLOW CONSUMER HOUSING TRENDS REPORT, OCTOBER 2021

A global pandemic, historic economic change and an unprecedented shift in the housing market have been hallmarks of the past year. But while these large-scale changes have shifted the landscape and have the potential to reshape sellers’ preferences over the longer term, many behaviors and attitudes remain the same. The 2021 Consumer Housing Trends Report (CHTR) provides a snapshot of what housing consumers are thinking and doing in mid-2021. In this report, we take a deeper look at sellers (household decision makers that moved in the past year and sold their previous primary residence); In other reports, we examine homeowners, …

COMMERCIAL MARKET INSIGHTS: SEPTEMBER, 2021

Amid an improving economy, the demand for commercial real estate continues to recover, but the recovery is uneven across property types and geographic markets. There is strong recovery in the multifamily, industrial, and retail property markets, while the recovery has not been as robust in the office and hotel property markets. High transmission of delta variant cases in 97% of counties has held back the return of workers to the office and business and recreational travel.

The 4-week rolling active listings rose 0.9% from the prior 4-week estimate.

After 18 months of disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, New York has passed San Francisco as the most expensive market in the country with a median one-bedroom rent of $2,810. San Francisco’s median is $2,800. Rent growth across the nation continues to accelerate at an alarming rate.

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: AUGUST, 2021

Purchases of new homes showed modest gains. New single-family home sales increased 1.0 percent to 708,000 units (SAAR) in July from an upwardly revised pace of 701,000 units in June but were 27.2 percent lower than one year ago. Sales rose in all Census regions except the Northeast, where they remained level. Average sales for the first half of the year, at 818,000 (SAAR), were slightly lower than the annual pace for 2020 (822,000). New home sales are based on the signing of a purchase agreement rather than a closing, as is the case with existing homes. Note that monthly …

CBRE: CENTRAL LONDON OFFICE MARKETVIEW, AUGUST 2021

In August, take-up in Central London reached its highest level since the beginning of the pandemic, reaching 815,700 sq ft following a 63% monthly increase. The number of deals transacting remained relatively stable on the previous month, but six space-takes over 50,000 sq ft in August (vs. one in July) resulted in a significant boost in monthly activity.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: SEPTEMBER 11, 2021

The last week or two, the public health numbers have started to rejoin the broader economic numbers with some signs of gradual progress. In addition, interest rates remain favorable and new listings resumed their uptrend last week. Rising mortgage applications and home sales have yet to materialize, but California consumers have gotten slightly less pessimistic about buying over the past month, so the rest of the year is expected to remain at or around the 400,000 unit benchmark through December.

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: SEPTEMBER 6-9, 2021

Housing demand is easing while supply is somewhat improving, narrowing the demand-supply gap. Preliminary data shows that contract signings (pending sales) fell 7.1% from one year ago. New listings during this same period fell at a slower rate of 5.9%. The pending listings inventory was down 6% from one year ago. The level of active listings has been improving, but active listings inventory is still down 22% from one year ago.

US 2021 CAP RATES & PRICING IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Extraordinary market conditions over the past year have made it difficult for investors to confidently assess changes in property pricing. As a result, CBRE has changed the usual methodology of its semiannual Cap Rate Survey for this year to compare H1 2021 with pre-pandemic H2 2019 cap rates. This year’s H1 survey shows the extent to which extraordinary government fiscal and monetary measures helped to stabilize the economy and thus supported real estate asset values.

COMMERCIAL MARKET INSIGHTS AUGUST 2021

On one hand, the multifamily market is experiencing the strongest demand since the 2000’s marked by double-digit rent growth. Vacancy rates in multifamily and industrial properties are on average lower now than prior to the pandemic. The retail property market is experiencing positive net absorption. Hotel occupancy rates have also recovered to near pre-pandemic level. On the other hand, the office market continues to experience a decline in occupancy, rising vacancy rates, and lower asking rents on average compared to one year ago.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY: SUMMER 2021

While the pandemic recovery is still in progress and uncertainties exist, real estate has reemerged as a stronger, more innovative sector and has continued to attract global and domestic capital. Real assets play a critical role in the social, demographic and economic shifts brought about by COVID-19 and the industry has met the pandemic-induced challenges head on. Emerging from the global health crisis, the sector has embraced innovation and flexibility in the use cases across various subsectors and has also focused on supporting broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) trends and societal shifts. Real assets continue to play an exciting …

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: AUGUST 2-5, 2021

The demand-supply imbalance is narrowing. Preliminary data shows that contract signings during the four weeks fell by 7.4% from one year ago. On the other hand, new listings rose 2.8%. The total active listings are down 24% from one year ago while total pending listings are just up 4% year-over-year. The value of construction put in place for single-family and multifamily residential structures rose to a seasonalized annual rate of $511 billion, up 44% from one year ago. Single-family construction rose 52% while multifamily construction was up 20% year-over-year.

C.A.R. HOUSING PREDICTIONS SUMMARY, AUGUST 2021

Record low interest rates have been fueling the market and many first-time buyers took advantage of cheaper costs of borrowing during this year’s home buying season. The share of first-time buyers reached the highest level in ten years this past summer, with nearly two of five homes being sold to buyers who purchased for the first time. This year’s spike could also be attributed to the fact that fewer homeowners (i.e. repeat buyers) have been putting their house up on the market and moving during the pandemic.

Q2 2021: U.S. OFFICE FIGURES

Q2 had the lowest quarterly level of negative absorption (-7.9 million sq. ft.) since the COVID downturn began, representing a substantial reduction from the 30 million-sq.-ft. average of the three previous quarters. The overall office vacancy rate rose by 50 basis points (bps) in Q2 to 16.5%, slightly below its peak level of 16.8% during the Global Financial Crisis.

CENTRAL LONDON MARKET SUMMARY, Q2 2021

The reopening of non-essential retail on the 12th of April helped boost footfall in central London to its highest levels post March 2020. However, the ongoing limited numbers of office workers and tourists in the capital remains poignant. Consumer confidence was unchanged in June compared to May, but remained the joint-highest reading since March 2020. Consumers’ greater optimism about their financial situation was offset by a less upbeat view of the general economy

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: JULY 31, 2021

Last week, we saw signs of continued improvement in the broader economy coupled with ongoing reasons to be optimistic about the housing market overall. In addition, there was better news on the structure and health of the underlying financial system with encouraging signs on forbearances. However, there were also signs that the economy still has a long way to go for full recovery as GDP underwhelmed and the COVID numbers in California surged. Ultimately, this means that while we remain upbeat, it is also important to remain realistic that many significant challenges remain ahead.

OVERVIEW OF EUROPEAN RESIDENTIAL MARKETS, JULY 2021

In terms of residential real estate market, there has been several things happening at once that could be observed across countries in Europe. At the same time, any negative impacts the pandemic might have on residential markets are considered to be mostly short-term. During the spring wave of pandemic in March and April 2020, almost all non-essential workers have stayed at home. This resulted in limited spending for specific types of goods and services and subsequently led to a higher volume of savings. In some countries, during lock-downs, citizens were able to save even 20% more of their income than …

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: JULY 2021

The dramatic rise in rent that’s come to define 2021 accelerated in July, with Zumper’s National Rent Index rising 7 percent year-over-year for one-bedroom apartments and a staggering 8.7 percent for two-bedroom apartments. While rent is rising in almost every corner of the country, many of the big cities that experienced the largest drops in rent over the course of the pandemic remain down considerably year-over-year, although most bottomed out earlier in 2021.

Acquisitions of investors of commercial real estate rose acquisitions rose 34% in the first half of 2021. Commercial prices continued to recover, with property valuation just 1% below the valuations prior to the pandemic at a broad level.

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: JULY 5- 8, 2021

New contract signings fell by 4.8% from one year ago. Meanwhile, more new listings came into the market, with new listings in the past four weeks up 6.2% from one year ago. However, there is still a large demand-supply gap: total active listings are down 31% from one year ago while total pending listings are up 13% yearover-year.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: JULY 3, 2021

The California housing market had an outstanding performance in the first half of 2021, with both sales and its median price growing by double-digits year-over-year. Looking forward to the second half of the year, housing demand should remain solid but will likely slow as foreshadowed by the decline in mortgage applications. Recent increase in supply in both new and existing homes, however, is encouraging and should help to alleviate some of the inventory and affordability challenges that homebuyers encountered. As labor market conditions strengthen further and the consumer confidence continues to rise, the outlook for the market will remain positive.

UK MONTHLY MARKET BRIEFING: JULY 2021

The average rate of house price growth has risen to a 10-year high in Wales, Yorkshire & the Humber and the North East, and is very close to a decade-high in the North West and Midlands too – as shown in the chart below. These are some of the most accessible housing markets in the UK in terms of affordability, meaning there has been more headroom for price growth. Overall price growth may start to ease towards the end of H2, but it remain in positive territory, with the more affordable markets continuing to lead in terms of price uplifts.

LONDON QUARTERLY HOUSING MARKET REPORT: JUNE 2021

Asking rents in London are still well below the level of a year ago, driven by large falls in inner London, but are beginning to bottom out. Rental growth has been set back by five years or more in most parts of London, improving affordability relative to earnings in the city centre. The rate of house price growth in London is low compared to the rest of the UK, narrowing the gap between prices in London and elsewhere in the country. Prices have grown more for houses than for flats. Rightmove are reporting slower growth in asking prices, indicating that …

MIAMI REALTORS MONTHLY MARKET SUMMARY - MAY 2021

Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we recommend comparing the per cent changes in sales rather than the number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales to the number of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather than changes from one month to the next

GLOBAL INVESTOR SURVEY: MULTIFAMILY/RESIDENTIAL, JUNE 2021

COMMERCIAL MARKET INSIGHTS JUNE 2021

The commercial real estate market continues to climb out from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Commercial real estate acquisitions during January through May 2021 rose 1% compared to one year ago as investors acquired multifamily properties, hotels, and seniors housing

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: JUNE 2021

After a year of stagnant growth, rent nationally is rising sharply now that the vaccine is allowing cities to reopen. Median one-bedroom rents rose 4.9 percent year-over-year, while two-bedrooms rose 6.5 percent. The Bay Area continues to see an accelerating rate of rent growth, suggesting that the signals of a rebound from earlier this year are now a trend that’s likely to continue. San Francisco posted the largest median one-bedroom monthly gain among the three major Bay cities at 5.3 percent

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: JUNE 2021

Purchases of new homes declined. New single-family home sales fell 5.9 percent to 769,000 units (SAAR) in May from a downwardly revised pace of 817,000 units in April but were still 9.2 percent higher than one year ago. New home sales are based on the signing of a purchase agreement rather than a closing, as is the case with existing homes. Note that monthly data on new home sales tend to be volatile. (Sources: HUD and Census Bureau)

NYSAR: MONTHLY INDICATORS - MAY 2021

As the weather warms and pandemic restrictions ease across much of the country, the U.S. housing market shows little sign of cooling. Robust buyer demand, fueled by low mortgage rates, continues to outpace supply, which remains near historic lows. Nationwide, inventory remains much lower than it was at this time last year, and sales prices are surging as a result. New Listings were up 49.2 percent to 19,766. Pending Sales increased 91.3 percent to 15,775. Inventory shrank 18.5 percent to 40,776 units

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: MAY 17-20, 2021

Pending sales appear to be slowing while new listings are picking up. New contracts signed (pending sales) during the past four weeks ending May 16 slightly decreased by 3% compared to the prior 4-week period. On the other hand, new listings during the same period slightly rose contracted by 1.8%.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: MAY 22, 2021

The public health crisis continues to fade as the number of new cases falls and the economy prepares to reopen more broadly on June 15th. General economic indicators continue to improve as well, and that is also expected to accelerate the service sector rebounds during the second half of the year. However, strong buyer demand continues to limit the uptick in supply, even as the number of sellers putting their homes onto the market also grows—inventory simply can’t keep up. This is causing home prices to continue to set new all-time highs, which together with gradually increasing mortgage rates, means …

UK MONTHLY MARKET BRIEFING: MAY 2021

Average annual house price growth has been at +4% or above since last November, the highest levels of growth seen since 2017. Price growth is being underpinned by the ongoing mismatch between soaring demand and the limited supply of homes available for sale. House price are growing fastest in the Midlands, the North of England, Scotland and Wales, where affordability levels mean there is more headroom for home values to rise.

EUROPE CRE 360: MAY 2021

In the Eurozone, governments were forced to maintain or tighten health restrictions as cases rose again. The timing of the recovery will depend essentially on the effectiveness of restrictive measures and the acceleration of vaccination campaigns. In Europe, the main recovery should be in H2 2021. The logistics occupier market increased by 19% in Q1 2021 and set a new record volume of transactions. Market fundamentals are healthy with low vacant space and strong demand boosted by e-commerce.

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: APRIL 2021

Purchases of new homes rose to the fastest pace since 2006. New single-family home sales surged 20.7 percent to 1.021 million units (SAAR) in March from an upwardly revised pace of 846,000 units in February and were 66.8 percent higher than one year ago. New home sales are based on the signing of a purchase agreement rather than a closing, as is the case with existing homes. Note that monthly data on new home sales tend to be volatile

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRENDS & OUTLOOK APRIL 2021

The commercial real estate market is recovering but remains weak compared to conditions before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to NAR commercial members who responded to the 2021 Q1 Commercial Real Estate Quarterly Market Survey and industry data. Acquisitions for large commercial real estate―properties or portfolios of at least $2.5 million ― fell 28% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2021, with transactions declining across all property types, except for hotel acquisitions. Investors could be acquiring hotels to convert into other uses such as multifamily housing.

ZILLOW MARKET PULSE: APRIL 30, 2021

The U.S. economy improved for the third straight quarter as consumers showed more willingness to spend. More people say they intend to buy a home in the coming months than at any time in the last 43 years. And a new program aims to offer more favorable refinance conditions to borrowers who have previously had a hard time qualifying.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: APRIL 24, 2021

The majority of the economic and market data remains positive, with several encouraging developments of late. April home sales remained robust through the weekend, fueled by ongoing growth in buyer demand. Additionally, rates have started to help out—falling below 3% for the first time in 7 weeks. The ongoing improvements in California’s public health numbers have enabled the economy to improve significantly as well. In addition to the uptick in jobs we reported on last week, the unemployment rate and new unemployment claims are both falling. There are still nearly 2 million workers on the state’s unemployment rolls, so there’s …

NYSAR: QUARTERLY INDICATORS, Q1-2021

The real estate market in the first quarter of 2021 tends to be a good indicator of how the rest of the year will unfold. With strong buyer demand and low inventory across most market segments both locally and nationally, multiple offers were a common occurrence during the quarter as the weather warmed and COVID-19 restrictions began to ease, creating even more urgency in an already frenzied market.

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: APRIL 26-29 2021

Existing-home sales in March 2021 fell 3.7% from the prior month to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 6.01 million as sales in all major regions declined. Sales are higher by 12.3% vs a year ago when home sales declined at the onset of the pandemic. Historic low levels of inventory of unsold homes at the end of January and February at 1.03 million (equivalent to about 2 months), may have impacted home sales in March. Rising home prices and an uptick in mortgage rates in March could also have caused some buyers to pull back.

UK ECONOMIC OUTLOOK: JANUARY - APRIL 2021

Monthly GDP in the UK increased by 0.4% in February. This suggests that economic activity is around 8% below pre-Covid levels. Despite increasing 0.2% month-on-month, the service sector remained weak in February as the lockdown restrictions meant consumer-facing services remained closed. On the other hand manufacturing and construction output, which are less affected by the current set of restrictions, continued to grow strongly. High-frequency indicators point to a continued increase in activity in March, with credit and debit card spending and job advertisements trending notably higher. Coupled with the reopening of schools on 8 March (which will have also boosted …

WEEKLY HOUSING TRENDS VIEW — DATA WEEK APRIL 10, 2021

We’re now at a period where the year ago comparisons we’re making are against the early days of the pandemic when the real estate market, like many of the sectors of the economy, largely hit pause. When comparing today’s frenzied market to last year’s frozen market, the differences are going to be large. While home prices never declined, they were flat this time last year, which is one of the reasons we’re seeing home prices register such large gains compared to that time

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: APRIL 10, 2021

Optimism Remains High as Buying Season Begins: While the tight supply condition will likely continue at least in the next few months, California REALTORS® remain positive about their market outlook. Despite fewer members having a listing appointment in the past week, the share who expected listings to have a weekly increase reached 55.7%, the highest level since late July. REALTORS® also felt positive about the demand side of the market. More than half (54.8%) believed sales would go up in the following week, while nearly three quarters (72.1%) thought prices would rise. Both levels were the highest since July 20, …

NEW YORK CITY METRO REPORT: APRIL 2021

The Zumper New York City Metro Area Report analyzed active listings in March 2021 across 29 metro cities to show the most and least expensive cities and cities with the fastest growing rents. The New York one bedroom median rent was $1,842 last month.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: APRIL 3, 2021

As we enter the traditional home buying season, REALTORS® remain upbeat about the current housing market conditions. There are reasons to feel good about the market, despite rates rising high in recent weeks. With a strong growth in employment in March and a surge in consumer confidence to the highest level in the year, the economy is slowly recovering and life is hopefully getting back to somewhat “normal” in the second half of the year. Tight supply, however, remains a concern as it continues to hold back demand and continues to put pressure on affordability.

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: APRIL 12-15, 2021

During the past four weeks ending April 11, new pending listings or contracts signed (pending sales) rose 58% from one year ago. New pending listings are outpacing the 26% increase in new listings that came into the market in the past four weeks. The high year-over-year growths are arising from the low level of transactions during March through June last year when the economy was in a lockdown under stay-in-place orders to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: MARCH 29- APRIL 1, 2021

In 2017, the National Association of REALTORS® took its first look at member business through the lens of gender and race. The report provided insights into differences in why members entered the field, skills important for the field of real estate, areas in which members worked, the typical number of transactions, sales volume, and the income differences. The 2021 report expands these topics and scope.

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: APRIL 2021

A year out from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, the rental market has shifted. Notably, rent prices dropped dramatically in the country’s most expensive cities and went up in historically cheaper, mid-sized cities. This change was largely brought on by a migration of people out of larger cities in 2020 for various reasons stemming from the pandemic.

UK MONTHLY MARKET BRIEFING: APRIL 2021

The latest Zoopla data on rents shows that average rents outside London rose by 2.6% in the year to February, up from 2% in December last year, as demand for rental property continues to outstrip supply. Rents are rising most strongly in the North East, up 5.2%, and the South West, up 5%, while they are lagging in the West Midlands, up just 0.5% on the year.

HOUSING MARKET INDICATORS MONTHLY UPDATE: MARCH 2021

National housing market indicators available as of March showed activity in housing markets slowed overall, but most remained stronger than one year ago. Housing market activity has been strong as buyers take advantage of record-low mortgage rates. Trends in some of the top indicators for this month include:

WHAT DOES THE BREXIT DEAL MEAN FOR UK REAL ESTATE? MARCH 2021

With the dust now settling on the Brexit deal, this report explores the effect of the deal on real estate. On the following pages we look, in turn, at each of the key aspects of Brexit – including trade in goods and services, labour markets, and a selection of other key issues. Of course, Brexit is not actually fully settled yet. A range of grace periods, transitional timelines, and unfinished business mean that some sectors of the economy, notably financial services, are still (at least partly) in the dark about what Brexit means for them.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA: MARCH 20, 2021

The economy continues to improve and the public health crisis is slowly inching its way toward the finish line as more Californians receive the vaccine. However, interest rates continue to increase and that has caused the pace of growth in new mortgage applications to cool from the 30% growth that we experienced during much of the second half of 2020. Home sales remain strong and REALTOR® in California remain optimistic, but many economic headwinds remain.

CBRE: UK OFFICES VIEWPOINT, MARCH 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic is likely to change the way we occupy office space in the future. Sentiment surveys suggest that employees will seek to more flexible working patterns in the future and this has implications for office demand and therefore values. CBRE’s latest ViewPoint seeks to quantify this change and answer the question: Will working from home change the Central London office market?

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: MARCH 15-18, 2021

Millennial buyers 22 to 30 years (Younger Millennials) and buyers 31 to 40 years (Older Millennials) continue to make up the largest share of home buyers at 37%: Older Millennials at 23% and Younger Millennials at 14% of the share of home buyers. Millennials have been the largest share of buyers since the 2014 report. Buyers 41 to 55 (Gen Xers) consisted of 24% of recent home buyers.

UK MONTHLY MARKET BRIEFING: MARCH 2021

The Chancellor confirmed the stamp duty extension at the Budget, meaning that 234,000 buyers who agreed a sale from late last year to early March, who may not have expected to benefit, will now save nearly £1 billion if they complete by the end of June. The tapering announcement of further savings on the first £250,000 of any transaction also means that hundreds of thousands of buyers will benefit from savings of up to £2,500 if they agree a sale over the Spring, allowing four months for completion.

WEEKLY HOUSING MARKET MONITOR: MARCH 1-4, 2021

With fewer listings on the market, contracts signed (pending sales) during the past four weeks ending February 28 were 1% lower compared to the level one year ago (2% y/y in the prior week). New listings during the past four weeks declined 16% from one year ago (-15% y/y in the prior week). Demand is strong, but there’s little new supply coming in: there are nearly 10 new contract signings per every 10 new listing, so any new inventory does not sit long on the market.

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: MARCH 2021

Some of the most popular destination cities in 2020 were relatively cheaper cities that neighbored significantly more expensive markets. This resulted in pairs of neighboring cities where renters rejected the expensive market in favor of the relatively cheaper one- which in turn caused prices to drop in the expensive market and spike in the cheaper one. The price effects of this phenomenon are still felt in these markets despite slowing trends. The chart below shows some of the most prominent of these “city-pairs” and how price trends have diverged each from a year ago.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATE: FEBRUARY 21 - 27

The sharp rise in interest rates caused the market to slow somewhat over the past two weeks. However, rates remain low by historical standards and fears about inflation, which have been bolstered by the probability of a new round of pandemic relief, are likely overblown. Interest rates remain very low by historical standards, and although inventory remains tight, buyer demand remains strong. In addition, there have been several encouraging economic reports this week so the housing market should remain relatively robust, albeit growing at a slower pace than we saw the previous six months.

QUARTERLY LONDON HOUSING MARKET REPORT

Data from Indeed indicates that the number of online job ads in London has so far recovered more slowly than in the rest of the UK, while proportion of ads for remote work has risen faster in London than elsewhere. These trends together suggest that employee demand for homes in central London will take some time to return – although the cheaper rents in central areas will also attract some people who had previously been priced out, so the net change in population may not be as large as expected.

REALTORS CONFIDENCE INDEX SURVEY: FEBRUARY 2021

Several metrics indicate a continued strong buyer market but inventory remains low. The REALTORS® Buyer Traffic Index increased from 76 in January 2021 to 77 (very strong conditions) in February 2021 while the REALTORS® Seller Traffic Index remains below 50 which is “weak” traffic compared to the level one year ago. Every home sold had more than four offers. On average, REALTORS® expect home prices in the next three months to increase nearly 6% from one year ago and sales in the next three months to increase 3% from last year’s sales level.

ZILLOW FEBRUARY 2021 MARKET REPORT

In February, home value growth continued to accelerate, the rental market showed some signs of recovery but is likely to remain challenging for certain hard-hit renters in less-pricey areas, and inventory continued to plumb new lows, according to the February 2021 Zillow Real Estate Market Report.

NYSAR: MONTHLY INDICATORS - FEBRUARY, 2021

Mortgage interest rates ticked a bit higher in February, but remain below their February 2020 levels. Interest rates may rise a bit further in coming weeks, but according to Freddie Mac chief economist Sam Khater, “while there are multiple temporary factors driving up rates, the underlying economic fundamentals point to rates remaining in the low 3 percent range for the year.” With rates still at historically low levels, home sales are unlikely to be significantly impacted, though higher rates do impact affordability.

FLORIDA REALTORS® REAL ESTATE TRENDS: HOUSING SUPPLY, AFFORDABILITY KEY IN 2021

Homebuilding experienced “a surprise year of growth” in 2020 despite the pandemic, but new home construction this year will be constrained by supply side factors like higher lumber costs, a shortage of lots and regulatory issues, according to Dr. Robert Dietz, chief economist and senior vice president for economics and policy for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Dietz was one of several real estate economic experts who spoke to 424 Realtors® and attendees during Florida Realtors®’ virtual 2021 Florida Real Estate Trends summit on Feb. 4.

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY DATA : JAN 31-FEB 6, 2021

Housing demand is stronger than normal so far in 2021, while tight supply continues to put upward pressure on housing values. Robust price growth will not ease up until some balance between supply and demand is restored. Recent survey results suggest that the housing market could be getting more listings in the coming weeks, possibly because of the improving pandemic situation and a recovering economy.

Despite this terrible pandemic, a severe housing shortage, and a shrinking California economy, the housing market is beginning its turnaround.

ZILLOW 2020 URBAN/SUBURBAN REPORT

Suburban homes sold faster than urban homes by the end of 2020, but home value growth, sales volume and Zillow web traffic in urban areas has kept pace with or exceeded levels in suburban areas. Urban home value growth outperformed the suburbs in much of the Midwest, where homes are typically less expensive near city centers. In some of the most-expensive markets, including New York and San Francisco, urban housing demand softened relative to the surrounding suburbs. Urban rent growth fell behind growth in the suburbs in 2020, but Zillow expects urban rents to quickly recover as the pandemic subsides.

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: FEBRUARY 2021

Outside of the SF Bay Area, we saw prices drop dramatically in the nation’s most expensive cities throughout 2020, while modestly priced, mid-sized cities grew significantly as renters migrated from historically costly cities to cheaper, often neighboring places. This trend appears to have slowed considerably as well. The median 1-bedroom price in the top 8 most expensive cities, denoted by the dark blue line in the chart below, took a nosedive starting around July of 2020. That decline ramped up through about October, but has slowed down to an almost-flat monthly growth rate by January, 2021. The result is an …

UK MONTHLY MARKET BRIEFING: FEBRUARY 2021

UK house prices are continuing to climb, despite a roller-coaster year in 2020. The main driver of this upward pressure on pricing is a continued rise in demand. Buyer demand in the first two weeks of the year was 13% higher than the start of 2020 (and that was a very busy time in the market). At the same time, the new lockdown enforced after Christmas means that some sellers are pressing pause on their sale. This means that new supply of homes listed for sale is down 12% year-on-year. We expect these homes will come to market once COVID-19 …

REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY OUTLOOK, WINTER 2021

From suburban migration to the impact of e-commerce on retail, the real estate market is rife with change and opportunity for savvy participants set to pivot and meet evolving needs. Meanwhile, construction is set to benefit from a boom in housing, the renovation of industrial space and impending infrastructure spending under a new administration.

NEW JERSEY - MONTHLY HOUSING MARKET STATISTICS | JANUARY 2021

January started off strong for the housing market, with healthy buyer demand and strong market fundamentals. A robust increase in housing starts in December points to an active year for new construction, but higher material costs, especially lumber, and a limited supply of buildable lots will temper the number of new units. The Mortgage Bankers Association’s January research estimates approximately 2.7 million homeowners with mortgages are currently in forbearance plans. Some of these homes may eventually come to market, but given the strong appreciation in most market segments in recent years, these eventual home sales are likely to be mostly …

ZILLOW JANUARY 2021 MARKET REPORT

Annual growth in home values was faster in January than at any point since the years preceding the 2008 Great Recession — a sign that the red-hot housing market of 2020 did not lose any heat as the calendar turned to 2021.

Miami business leaders have been actively recruiting out-of-state companies offering cash incentives over a long-term period, which would in turn, bring dozens of high-paying jobs.

MONTHLY MARKET BRIEFING | JAN UK

UK house price inflation has risen to 3.9% and could reach 5% early this year before easing throughout the rest of 2021. However, the value of all residential property is not rising evenly. As well as geographical variations, the type of home has also become increasingly important when it comes to price performance. The search for space among buyers, a near-constant theme in the market after the initial lockdown last year, means that demand for houses – with their additional internal and external space – has pushed up prices for these type of homes faster than for flats. The scale …

California’s 2020 Market Stats on Track to Close with More Growth Than Expected: The California Association of REALTORS® is still finalizing its numbers for December of 2020, but preliminary estimates suggest that the year ended with roughly 3% more home sales that occurred the previous year.

ZUMPER NATIONAL RENT REPORT: JANUARY 2021

Despite massive price drops in the country’s most expensive rental markets in 2020, the list of the 10 most expensive markets remained roughly the same. This is largely due to just how much more expensive these rental markets were than the rest of the country. Recently, however, a few cities have dropped out of this relatively consistent list and have been replaced

UK MONTHLY MARKET BRIEFING: DECEMBER 2020

Our data has been clearly showing that there has been a rise in buyers and renters looking for homes with more space ever since lockdown back in March.

REALTOR.COM: 2021 HOUSING MARKET FORECAST AND PREDICTIONS

To say 2020 was a year of surprises is an extreme understatement. What started off as a bright year for the housing market and the economy was soon derailed by a global pandemic and severe economic recession. As detailed by my colleague, George Ratiu, the economic rebound has been sharp, but is by no means complete and created distinct winners and losers among sectors in the economy. Read more detailed thoughts on the overall economic context and outlook, here. One of the big winners has been the housing market, which saw home sales and prices hit decade-plus highs following decade …

EUROPE 2021: EMERGING TRENDS IN REAL ESTATE

The COVID-19 pandemic has been described as a classic black swan event that no one could have predicted. Though the global economy is expected to recover from this exogenous shock and eventually resume its prior course, for the real estate industry, COVID-19 is a game changer. As Emerging Trends in Real Estate Europe reveals, property professionals are coming to terms with the idea of a world where we can expect more working from home, more online shopping, and less international travel— all of which strike at the heart of how the industry serves its customers and conducts its business.

COMMERCIAL MARKET INSIGHTS NOVEMBER 2020

Needless to say, the outlook for the commercial real estate market depends crucially on when a vaccine is discovered, how long it will get fully disseminated, and the evolution of the work from home culture. It appears that there will be a bigger impact only if companies allow their workers to work from home permanently as workers will want to permanently relocate to less expensive cities. This issue looks at the latest trends across the commercial property markets (multifamily, office, industrial, and retail) and features two pieces on apartment rent trends and how financial volatility impacts commercial sales and prices.

FLORIDA REALTORS: QUARTERLY MARKET DETAIL - Q3 2020

Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a quarter's sales to the amount of sales in the same quarter in the previous year), rather than changes from one quarter to the next.

A greater share of homes sold above their list price in September (22.4%) than in any month since at least January 2018, another byproduct of incredibly strong buyer demand. Nationwide, the typical home that sold above list price in September fetched a 4.9% premium.

Even as home prices have increased, the decline in mortgage rates has lowered the monthly mortgage payment on a typical single-family home to $1,048, which is below the estimated median rent in October of $1,161. Mortgage rates are expected to remain low for quite some time, as the Federal Open Market Committee reiterated on August 27 its long-run policy of anchoring monetary policy to achieving an average long-run inflation of 2% and promoting maximum employment. In September, inflation slightly rose to 1.4%. The unemployment rate has further fallen to 7.9% in September but it remains elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels …

Amid an uncertain, COVID-19 impacted economic slow-down and presidential election period, the Long Island office market had a sluggish third quarter.

2021: EMERGING TRENDS IN REAL ESTATE

A significant single-family-housing market trend emanating from the COVID-19 pandemic is “the Great American Move.” People (and businesses) are moving in all sorts of ways—to different geographies, from denser cities to the suburbs, from an apartment to a home, and, for some, back “home” to live with family members. There is no better evidence of the Great American Move than the booming single-family-housing markets—especially in the more attainably priced areas of the United States. Some observers argue that large events, like a pandemic, do not create new trends but rather accelerate existing ones. That certainly seems to be the case …

Following the fallout from the economic crisis in 2008, sales of new condos were on a downward trend, and between 2012 and 2015, fewer than 1,000 units sold each year. In 2016, more than 2,000 new condo units sold, and although there was a fall-off in 2017—with 1,695 closings—CityRealty projects that roughly 1,800 and 2,000 units will close each year through 2020. CityRealty forecasts that the aggregate value of new development sales will reach an estimated $9.8 billion in 2018, $11.6 billion in 2019, and $11.9 billion in 2020.

The good news?

MANHATTAN MARKET REPORT 2014-2016

A glance at Downtown Manhattan’s market in the last three years reveals increasing costs and shifts in sales activity. Following its sales drop in 2015, Downtown Manhattan appears to be recovering by nearly 9% by the end of 2016, revealing newly regained levels of market demand. This occurs as the inventory volume grows each year to include a higher variety of housing options for buyers to choose from. The time duration for real estate transactions has been fluctuating, although it has typically remained the same.

NEW JERSEY MARKET REPORT 2014- 2016

Jersey City’s real estate market proceeds to grow with more activity, spanning from 2014 to 2016. With higher demand boosting sales each year, prices are driven up by sellers of both cooperatives and condominiums in the market. They are especially motivated as home buyers choose to move to homes that are more affordable than New York homes, but are still close to Manhattan where many of these buyers commute to work. This is also true for businesses that plan to relocate their offices as Jersey City increases its commercialization efforts while providing less expensive office space. While sales performance improves, …

LONG ISLAND CITY MARKET REPORT 2014-2016

A five-year glance between 2012 to 2016 for Long Island City’s real estate market shows a number of trends across different metrics. Sales prices receive gains on a yearly basis for both cooperatives and condominiums. As of 2016, prices may have reached their peak as their growth rates are significantly smaller compared to previous years. As prices continued on an upward trend, sales saw a decline for four consecutive years until 2016 when the performance achieved a moderate boost...

BROOKLYN MARKET REPORT 2014-2016

Central and West Brooklyn show bearish signs in the market. Sales have maintained similar levels, although there was a minor drop in performance by the end of 2016. Contracts also take much longer to close while the number of housing options in the market inventory continues pile up. In order to address these issues, sellers and property owners have made yearly price cuts in order to renew demand in the market that appears to be softening. Based on these factors, prospective sellers may consider holding onto their properties until the current inventory is absorbed and buyer demand is able to …

Brooklyn’s latest release—a 6,218 square foot, six bedroom penthouse at Standish, 171 Columbia Heights.

THE CRACK DOWN: DOCUMENT BY CHINESE REGULATORS SEEK TO LIMIT REAL ESTATE FOREIGN INVESTMENT

A crack down has officially begun last Friday, following a most recent economic policy decision from the Chinese government. In a singular and powerful move, Chinese regulators released a document that seeks to limit foreign investments in many sectors from hotels to entertainment. Overseas acquisitions in real estate are part of these regulations. The new policy is expected to deal a huge blow to New York real estate where—according to Bloomberg—30% of this year’s contracts were signed by Chinese investors.

NYC LUXURY: CONTINUING PRICE CUTS LEAD TO NEW MID-SUMMER DEALS

1020 Fifth Avenue—where a fabulous five bedroom co-op unit (with its own eat-in kitchen, four fire places and a spacious 40 feet living room) is located.

Half the year has gone by, but the demand for new homes coupled with strengthening economic gains continues to fuel real estate activity in New York City.

REACHING NEW HEIGHTS: NYC CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY HITTING RECORD HIGH SPENDING

Construction has reached a new record in spending, according to a recently released report by the New York Building Congress.

As a result, the construction industry has generated $66.3 billion by the end of 2016.

ABOARD THE SECOND AVENUE SUBWAY: WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE UPPER EAST SIDE?

Six months ago, an extended Q line was built in the Upper East Side as a means of convenient transportation to the rest of the city. This grand scheme was followed by a number of changes in the neighborhood, and these are noticed by both residents and developers.

LUXURY AT A DISCOUNT: FALLING RENTAL PRICES AMIDST WEAKER DEMAND

A few years after the 2008 recession, property developers started selling “ultra-luxury” apartments when they saw the growing wealth of their consumers as well as their demand for prime real estate. This led to a boom in the real estate luxury market—a time when buyers would willingly pay millions for high-end properties that get sold shortly after being listed.

RECENT COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS (MAY 2017)

In Yorkville, a private investor from Kiaton L.L.C. bought an 8,050 square foot, five story walkup. The property, previously owned by Simon Sellman, is a mixed use property with 13 apartment studios, 1 one-bedroom unit and a laundromat that occupies 1,500 square feet of retail space at the ground level. The transaction was brokered by Capital Property Partner and Eric Goodman Realty with a closing price of $8,000,000.

U.S. HOME PRICES BOOST AS SUPPLY TIGHTENS

With U.S. housing inventory levels 9% lower than April of last year, sales performance continues to fall due to shortages in available housing market options. Reasons include increasing construction costs and labor shortages. These trends, when combined with a growing housing demand, effectively translates to higher market prices.

TOP 5 BIGGEST NYC REAL ESTATE LOANS (EARLY 2017)

Based on their data, it was found that commercial real estate lending in New York fell down by 17% year over year.

NEST SEEKERS HAMPTONS MARKET REPORT 2014-2017 STUDY & TRENDS

A three year analysis of the Hamptons shows consistent increases in the average sales price, with 2016 ending with a 3.3% mark up. The addition of more luxury properties in the market this year may contribute to these increasing values. On the other hand, the median sales price dropped by 2.5% as of the current date, which shows that most sellers may have lowered the costs of their homes to attract potential buyers. Despite these efforts, the number of sales performance in the Hamptons continues to fall, with the sales starting to plateau in 2015 before sinking by ...

A YEAR IN REVIEW: NYC REAL ESTATE’S BIGGEST STORIES OF 2016

UNDER THE CHOPPING BLOCK? TRUMP’S PLANS FOR MORTGAGE INTEREST DEDUCTIONS

With the start of the new Trump administration quickly approaching, everyone is anticipating the policy changes that the upcoming president has in store. For home owners, they can expect a “big tax cut for the middle class” in the form of mortgage interest deduction caps. “We’ll cap mortgage interest, but we’ll allow some deductibility,” said Steve Mnuchin who is currently in consideration as Trump’s Treasury Secretary, "Any reductions we have in upper income taxes will be offset by less deductions so that there will be no absolute tax cut for the upper class."

A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE: THE LATEST TRENDS IN REAL ESTATE TECHNOLOGY

Swipe right? Swipe left? Like or dislike? Save or ignore? These days, anything can be decided with the tap of a finger on a mobile screen—including a potential new home. With a recovering economy and the vast potential of technology to solve the ever-growing need for properties, there has been a boom in the real estate tech industry. As of 2015, $1.5 billion has been pooled towards real estate tech ventures. That’s 350% higher compared to 2010, and these ventures—many of them being startups—have been developing tools that aim to innovate the home search process. Names such as Trulia, Zillow …

LIVING IN A SMALLER, CONNECTED WORLD: THE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON REAL ESTATE

From increased business opportunities to advancing technologies, the word “globalization” often pops up in various contexts and is reflected in different ways. Over the years, economic self-sufficiency became more obsolete as people saw a major shift in demographics, different trade policies between economic regions, and more efficient ways to connect to other parts of the world. Economies are now linked between each other, producing a continuing flow of goods, services, investments, people and information. The world we live in is a truly globalized one where diversity produces labor opportunities and concepts such as global GDP which plays a heavy factor …

MAKING REAL ESTATE GREAT AGAIN: PREDICTING REAL ESTATE UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

This week saw the end of a very historic election in America with the rise of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States. During his campaign, he has talked about trade, immigration, unemployment and homeland security. Yet, despite his strong background in real estate, he spoke little about this, and his electoral victory comes with mixed reactions. As Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist of Trulia, pointed out, home buyers from blue states will hesitate to make large investments due to their feelings of economic uncertainty. On the other hand, those from the red states—primary supporters of Trump’s campaign—will …

TROUBLE INFLATING IN THE EAST: THE CHINESE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE

No one can forget the 2008 Financial Crisis—a recession that shook the global economy as a result of a high default rate in subprime mortgage backed securities. Also known as the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, this was a time of high unemployment, GDP losses, dried up business investments and major cutbacks in spending. Almost a decade has passed since then, and while the U.S. is still in the process of economic recovery, analysts are anticipating a potential repeat of history stemming from another powerful player—China.

U.S. ELECTIONS ON NATIONAL REAL ESTATE

“Who will you vote for?” Discussions and predictions revolve around this recurring question which only the historical decision next week can answer. Whether America will see a presidency led by Clinton or Trump, no one can deny the amount of political and economic uncertainty towards the future. While both candidates have touched on issues such as immigration, healthcare, and employment, voters have been left in the dark with regards to other specific issues. Real estate would be one of them, and this is concerning to both buyers and sellers who are interested in knowing about the future housing policies that …

“WAIT NOW, INVEST LATER”: HOW UNCERTAINTY MARKS THE POST-BREXIT ERA

“Wait now, invest later,” investors are saying towards London’s softening real estate market. No one knows the long-term effects of the Brexit on the economy, and the British government is still in the process of drafting trade policies that can preserve the UK’s trading rights across the Eurozone. These factors gave investors reason to withdraw their funds, which led to a shut down in property trades and the freezing of assets worth £18 billion.

THE DEUTSCHE BANK CRISIS, AT A GLANCE

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice slapped a $14 billion fine to Deutsche Bank due to sales malpractice that eventually paved the way to the 2008 financial crisis. The bank claimed that it does not intend to settle the fine anywhere near that amount. Negotiations, however, are still ongoing, and as of this date, the bank expects U.S. authorities to eventually lower the initial demand. But, to add salt to injury, the German financial giant also lost its position in the list of New York’s most active commercial real estate lenders for this quarter. How did this all start, and …

MAN VERSUS NATURE: HOW SAFE IS YOUR HOME FROM NATURAL DISASTERS?

Matthew—yet another name added to the list of hurricanes that have battered the U.S. and left massive destruction in their wakes. These calamities come with expensive property costs, and as of this date, Forbes estimates that the economic damage that Matthew leaves behind will range from $4 to 6 billion. It is a high price, although not record breaking when compared to Katrina ($108 billion) and Sandy ($71.4 billion).

NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT- 2ND QUARTER 2016

The New York City residential sales market started to face some resistance in the second quarter of 2016. While the average sales price of all homes in the city increased – reaching a new, all-time high since the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) began tracking home sales data in 2006 – and average sales prices for a home in each of the five boroughs rose year-over-year, sales volume started to weaken. The Bronx and Staten Island were the only boroughs to record increases in sales volume this quarter when compared to last year.

NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT- 1ST QUARTER 2016

The Manhattan and Brooklyn sales markets emerged from the slower winter months slightly more expensive than last year, according to the most recent market data by StreetEasy. While inventory grew slightly in Manhattan, it continued to fall in Brooklyn, allowing prices to grow at a considerably faster pace there than in Manhattan. As affordability looms heavy over New York households, relatively lower-priced homes in East Brooklyn and Upper Manhattan led the two boroughs in annual price growth in the first quarter; a strong sign that a growing number of buyers are seeking value in these areas of the city.

NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT- 4TH QUARTER 2015

The real estate markets in Manhattan and Brooklyn closed the final quarter of 2015 with record-high prices as sales inventory continued to slide in Manhattan and competition among renters intensified in both boroughs. The median resale price of homes in Manhattan grew 7.1 percent from last year to $1,002,008, according to the StreetEasy Price Index, marking the first time it has ever exceeded $1 million. The highest growth was in Upper Manhattan, where the median resale price grew 14.6 percent from last year to $641,882, followed by Upper East Side (9.1 percent), Upper West Side (8.1 percent), Downtown (6.1 percent) …

NEW JERSEY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT- 4TH QUARTER 2015

In 2015, national residential real estate, by and large, had a good year. Supply and demand were healthy in an environment rife with low interest rates and improved employment. The Federal Reserve finally increased short-term rates in December, and more increases are expected in 2016. Housing markets have shown a willingness to accept this. Save for a few expensive outliers where low inventory and high prices have become the norm, a balanced market is anticipated for much of the country for the foreseeable future. Improved inventory and affordability remain key factors for continued optimism.

NEW JERSEY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT- 3RD QUARTER 2015

The third quarter of 2015 has ticked its last tock with the hands pointing firmly upon a reliable clock of a market. Although noon and 6:30 fluctuations are present even within the same states and cities, the overall tempo of real estate potential is experiencing a healthy number of good omens. The job market has shown continual improvement, jobless rates are down, real average hourly and weekly earnings have been up and there has been good news in new household formation.

NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT-3RD QUARTER 2015

According to StreetEasy’s Manhattan Price Index, median resale prices of all homes in Manhattan was $983,207 in July, a 6.3 percent increase compared to the same time last year. Although this was a new record high in Manhattan, annual growth has slowed for 18 consecutive months. The Manhattan Price Index, which tracks median resale prices of all homes in Manhattan and within each of the borough’s five major submarkets, remained the highest in the Downtown submarket in July at $1.2 million, followed by Upper West Side ($1.1 million), Upper East Side ($958,089), Midtown ($854,026) and Upper Manhattan ($565,690).

MANHATTAN RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT-2ND QUARTER 2015

Manhattan home prices reached a record-high of $936,683 in June, according to StreetEasy’s Manhattan Price Index (MPI). However, price growth across the borough has slowed for 17 consecutive months and prices grew at a rate of 5.8 percent, down from a 7.7 percent rate in 2014. The key market force driving high prices in Manhattan is constrained inventory. Although the number of for-sale listings available throughout the quarter rose by 14.1 percent from the previous quarter, inventory was just 0.1 percent above last year’s total. The lack of significant inventory growth was due in large part to a 3.1 percent …

NEW JERSEY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT- 2ND QUARTER 2015

The window closes on a cool summer night to end the 2nd quarter of 2015. Market analysis with compounded quarterly information becomes the evening’s read by low light in the comfort of home. Markets across the country and state continue to improve at rates not seen in years. Even if the increases in closed sales, median price and inventory are not across the board for all local markets, there is enough good news in one or more categories to consider this a successful first half.

MANHATTAN RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT-1ST QUARTER 2015

The Manhattan condo market saw healthy price growth last month as stubbornly low inventory kept prices at record highs. The number of condos available for sale in January was only slightly more than last year, growing 3.7 percent to 3,880 units. Condo inventory has been stuck at near record low levels for much of the last two years, with January’s total 18.2 percent lower than Manhattan’s 5-year historical average. As a result of constricted supply, condo prices continued to climb in January albeit at a slightly lower rate. Prices grew by 8.8 percent from last year, according to the StreetEasy …

NEW JERSEY RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT- 1ST QUARTER 2015

All expectations in 2015 are for a healthy and energetic selling season. National stories have been highlighting an increase in new construction sales and pending sales, but national stories are not always readily applied to the local scene. All the same, if ever there was a year to list or purchase a home, wider economic factors seem to indicate that this is the one.

MANHATTAN RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT-4TH QUARTER 2014

Q4 2014 Manhattan Market Report: Record-breaking Manhattan Prices in Q4 Give Way to Slow-down in 2015. Manhattan condo prices rose to their highest level on record in the final quarter of 2014, ending a year in which inventory failed to rebound from a five and a half year slide from the market’s 2009 peak. The median sale price across all property types jumped to $942,000, a 6.4 percent jump from the previous quarter and nearly 11 percent above last year’s level.

MANHATTAN RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT-3RD QUARTER 2014

The Manhattan real estate market settled into a stable growth mode in the third quarter of this year, with the median sale price rising less than one percentage point since last quarter and 4.1 percent from last year. However, the third quarter failed to add inventory to lift the market out of its persistent supply slump.

Available homes for sale remain in historically short supply, with inventory 1.2 percent below last year’s level and 15.9 percent …

MANHATTAN RESIDENTIAL SALES REPORT-2ND QUARTER 2014

Prices remain high amidst constrained inventory, but price appreciation slows in Q2.

NYC RESIDENTIAL FOURTH QUARTER 2011

The economic and financial unease over the past several months have appeared to make their impact on the NYC residential sales market in the 4th quarter of 2011, as average sales price and transactions have declined. Sales of all homes in New York City were down 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010 and the average price of a home decreased 6 percent from the fourth quar- ter of last year. The share of Manhattan apart- ment sales of $5 million and over to total Manhattan apartment sales were down 18 per- cent year over year.

NYC RESIDENTIAL THIRD QUARTER 2011

Despite the continued national economic weakness, tumultuous credit and equity markets, and the disarray in Euro economies, the New York City residential sales market stood firm. Total NYC residential sales consideration was up 8.41 percent from the second quarter to $8.04B. Compared to last year, residential consideration was down 3.89 percent. This was mainly due to the first time home buyer tax credit closing dead- line being extended into the third quarter of 2010. Due to that extension many sales that were being rushed to close in the second quarter closed in the third quarter, raising the total consideration for …

NYC RESIDENTIAL FOURTH QUARTER 2010

The New York City residential sales market in the fourth quarter of 2010 saw a continuing and sustainable rise in the average sales price and a sharp decline in the number of transactions. Average sales price increases over the last year have been driven by record low mortgage rates, the federal home buyer tax credit, a significant slowdown in the supply of new housing, and modest job growth in New York. The decline in transactions was the result of the end of the homebuyer tax credit along with the extension of the closing deadline that inflated sales in the third …
