Although large apartment buildings in most U.S. markets have managed to remain profitable during the housing slump, the oft-discussed 'shadow' rental market (i.e., single-family homes rented out to pay the mortgage) is now having an impact, but not as much as the impact from a slowing economy. One reason cited? People doubling up with roommates or moving back with family. From a Wall Street Jou

April 17, 2008 GLOBAL PROPERTY SURVEYS'pore apartment rents are 9th highest SINGAPORE is the ninth most expensive place to rent a three-bedroom apartment, according to a survey. Rents surged by 33 per cent last year, boosted by companies expanding operations at a time of limited supply of property, said the survey report, which was released yesterday. A three-bedroom unit in popular expatriate areas such as Orchard Road costs about US$4,460 (S$6,046) a month on average to rent, compared with about US$3,364 in 2006. But Singapore's rents are far below those of Hong Kong, which is the world's most expensive place to rent a three-bedroom apartment. The annual survey by human resources firm ECA International collected rental costs in 92 locations last September and converted them to US dollars

According to the source Rentomatics.com -- which pulled from its 8 million apartment listings -- rents for apartments varied greatly during 2007, rising in San Francisco but falling in Phoenix, thus proving that real estate is actually a lot more complicated than simple calculations involving incomes, prices and rents. In places like Phoenix, it wasn't an over-supply of apartments that hit median rents, it was an over-supply of new, single-family homes that compete with apartments for the same tenants. From an MSNBC story:A curious thing happened during 2007 while the mortgage market was imploding: Median apartment rental prices in major cities shifted dramatically, dropping by up to nine percent in some markets — Phoenix — and rising as much as 14.6 percent in others — San Francis

Like residential property, office rentals did appreciate in the first quarter but at a slower pace than in the four quarters last year, said property consultancy CB Richard Ellis (CBRE). But unlike homes, offices will still be able to achieve high rents due to strong demand and a lack of supply, said CBRE in a report released yesterday.

In a recently released survey by a top international real estate firm, Turkey has seen several prime business locations with rents rising substantially over the past year. Three locations in the country came in at the top of the list for increased rates, with two of these in the city of Istanbul, the country’s financial and business center. Recent development and investment in the city and country has led to an increased need for office space as well as living quarters for businesses from both local and international investors

Now that rent at the company’s new location in the nearby Miss Aodai building is likely to rise by as much as 45 percent from its current $24 per sq.m,

Last week I noticed an article posted on MSN Real Estate titled “Rents take big jump in 3rd quarter”. In San Francisco, rents have always been damn high anyway - but with more buyers afraid to buy these days (and yes, there are plenty of qualified buyers out there reading the doom and gloom articles and waiting for them to come to fruition before they decide to spend money in San Francisco Real Estate) rental inventory is going down, and as is typical with supply and demand - rental prices are going UP! The article points out that “The biggest rent increases came in more expensive coastal markets, where home prices have escalated over the past several years. Here, Chandan says, buyers are nervous about sliding prices, but are also put off by the continued lack of affordable housing and the rising interest rates on the jumbo loans required to purchase houses” So instead of buying, they’re renting. And this increased demand for rentals in San Francis

AUSTIN (Austin American-Statesman, Austin Business Journal) – Third quarter rents continued to rise in the Capital City while occupancies held steady, new figures from Oxford Commercial show. Rents for Class-A office space averaged $29.84 per square foot, up from $25.15 a year ago. Occupancy was at 88.3 percent, down slightly from 88.4 percent a year ago. Occupancy among all classes was at 86.2 percent, down from 86.6 a year ago. Rents rose to $25.37, up from $21.62 a year ago. Companies leased more than 245,000 square feet of office space during the third quarter, up from almost 36,000 square feet in the previous quarter. The top three submarkets in terms of absorption were Far Northwest (more than 82,500 square feet) North Central (more than 65,500) and Northwest (more than 34,500). The industrial sector absorbed just over 454,000 square feet in the third quarter, a decline from the more than 594,700 square feet taken in the second quarter. Total occupancy stands at 91.5 p

Apparently so, from a study done by the Center for Housing Policy a week ago – Noelle Knox from USA Today reported that the study said that “one in four renters are paying more than half their income on rent, the highest level in two decades. It projects that rents will rise about 4 percent this year and next because of a shortfall in apartment construction. At the same time, more renters are renewing their leases because they can’t qualify for a mortgage. That demand threatens to drive rents still higher.”   The question that every renter in San Francisco and in the Bay Area should be asking is “will this affect my rent?” The short answer is “maybe” if this study is accurate. I’ve spoken with my fellow REALTORS and a few Real Estate Investors and one of them said that she had notice rental increases within the Sunset District in San Francisco.   When you see and read reports like this, it makes you wonder why isn’t everyone who’s a renter not look into their o

After several years of upward movement, second-quarter activity in Boston's office market was "almost at the peak achieved in 2000," according to a new report from Jones Lang LaSalle, a Chicago real estate money management and services firm with a big presence in Boston.

Barrack, the Jones Lang LaSalle managing director who authored the report on the Boston office market.

Home prices in Sydney fell somewhat in the last quarter, but rents have not. As the housing market has risen over the past several years, renting has become more and more popular. As a result, rental prices have continued to rise, even as housing has slowed a bit.

A real estate firm has predicted that the price of rents in Qatar will increase. Reg Barichievy, general manager of a real estate firm in Qatar, believes that there will two years of rent rises before there is any fall. Qatar Journal mentions that many Qatar Living readers are sceptical.These things are notoriously difficult to predict, and I am certainly not brave enough to guess what's going to happen. It is interesting, though, that a recent article reported that some landlords were holding on to empty apartments rather than accepting lower rents, which suggests rents are already too high.Huge building has been continuing in Doha suggesting that the supply of property is going to increase. Silmutaneously, there seems a distinct possibility of a global slow-down with the sub-prime morgage crisis in America and a shortage of credit around the world. Perhaps Reg believes that the huge predicted growth in Qatar's gas output will innure Qatar to these factors. If he has right, we could

The industrial real estate market fell short of expectations during Q2, with demand slightly below anticipated levels, according to a report by Colliers International, the global real estate services firm. That said, rents managed a fairly robust increase during the April through June period.

Wall Street investors like The Blackstone Group, Broadway Partners, Normandy Real Estate Partners, and Beacon Capital Partners have been enjoying quite a ride in Boston, as rents and vacancies have reached respective highs and lows not seen in more than six years: Average asking Class A office rents in Boston have climbed from $47 per square foot in the first quarter to $52/SF at the close of Q2, while office vacancy has dropped to 10%. More dramatically, some high-rise asking rents in the top floors have reached $90/SF, and vacancy in the Financial District and Back Bay for Class A space is about 6%. As less choice inventory is available, many companies are looking at Class B buildings downtown, but rates in that market are climbing almost as quickly, up from $35/SF last quarter to $38/SF today. Dictating these terms, Wall Street investors have swooped into Boston and other metro markets nationwide, aiming to gobble up prime portfolios, make a relatively quick killing, and then fly
