Welcome to the New York Real Estate Market Update
Here we dig into the latest data and trends to find out what is really happening in the local Brooklyn rental market to help landlords, real estate investors, and developers make the smartest financial moves.
So, what’s new in New York Real Estate? Let’s take a look at the numbers…
Month over month, the data shows the Brooklyn rental market has maintained strength through the beginning of the peak summer real estate season, with more positive data possible as we experience the rush before school starts up again.
Some of the positive data may be credited to landlords offering better deals and concessions, though everyone should be pleased that the market appears to be on the better ground than at the beginning of the year. The exception may be renters who may not see a break coming in much lower rents.
Overall, Brooklyn rental prices nudged up by an average of 1.2% in May 2018. Overall, almost all of Brooklyn saw a positive month for rentals, with existing rentals seeing the best performance compared to new development.
Month over month, Price per square foot fell by just 0.7%. Listing inventory fell 4.4%, and days on market slide further, to just 28 days on average.
Year over year, Brooklyn rental prices are still not in much better shape. Rental prices are up an average 0.6% over the same period in 2017. The number of leases being signed also rose by a modest but encouraging 11.4%. While over 42% of Brooklyn landlords are offering special deals and concessions to lure tenants, on average landlords are now giving up only 1.5 months of free rent to new tenants.
Now let’s take a look at rentals by unit type:

Units with elevators rented for almost $400 per month more than walk-up units last month.
Gyms are still one of the top amenities tenants are looking for. They added an average of around $500 per month to rents last month.
Units with full-time lobby attendance are renting for almost $700 a month more.
There was only $4 per square foot premium for private outdoor space.
For 1 bedrooms...
Average price per foot fell slightly by 0.2%
The average unit size is up to 742 square feet
6 1 beds were No Fee, versus 163 Fee apartments

The difference in rents for elevator versus walk-up units is around $300 per month

In summary…
What the break down in this data shows Brooklyn landlords, is that the market is still strong, but many landlords are making concessions to be able to rent faster and even keep rents heading up. Over 40% are leasing with some type of special incentives. The strongest segment of the market last month was existing 2 and 3 bedroom apartments versus new developments and studios.
