It’s been said the job of Real Estate agents is no longer to be providers of data but rather to help the consumer navigate that information and make smart decisions when buying, selling or renting real estate.

Manhattan Vacancy Rates down, rents are up.


According to the latest rental market report for november (from Citi Habitats), the vacancy rate in the Manhattan rental market rate has come down slightly, and rents are up from a year ago, an indication that conditions may be improving. Year-over-year, the vacancy rate dipped slightly to 1.29 percent, from 1.87 percent in November 2009. The Soho-Tribeca neighborhood's vacancy rate clocked in at .63 percent, the lowest of all the areas tracked, beating the West Village, which had enjoyed a six-month reign as the neighborhood with the lowest vacancy, prior to this latest report.

The fact that November, usually a "slow" month in manhattan rentals, saw the vacancy drop and rents increase is a good sign that 2011 will be a strong year for real estate here in New york.
