What’s up with the lack of apartments available? Have been watching street east for weeks and have seen a steady decline from 400 to 150 (based on my budget/location preferences)

Have noticed street easy doesn't have great coverage anymore. Try adding apartments.com and also the actual building website / Google the building and check out realtor pages to get a more fulsome view of what's really out there

Right? Think someone else said it already, but I heard it's because street easy increased their prices so they lost a bunch of market share

Think they refresh listings at the start of every month also

Guessing this is the case

Could also be because end of month next wave of units will not firdt of month

Streeteasy just made it very expensive for brokers to list their listings too

helpful

“Very expensive” is relative.

Is it more than it was last summer, yes. Is it more than it was two summers ago, no.

It is $4.50 a day (a 50% increase from the temporary Covid pricing Streeteasy offered of $3), or $135 to list for a 30 day month. They claim it is designed to keep the system updated with good listings instead of the brokers who just sit there and use old listings to bait and switch you. Personally, if a broker is good and has a good product that is priced right, I believe it should move in a month. At $2,500, that would mean they spent ~5% of their commission on listing on Streeteasy.

Places getting snatched up. Now is a common time / seasonal high to move (college kids).

I understand prices goin up for sure. Surprised by how few apts are available is all

I paid an extra month for June back in mid-May to secure my place now

It’s not all about cost right? There are less inventory now thus less choices

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good?

Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
