Virtual Real Estate: Why Real Estate is Dependent Upon Social Media

LRMFacebookNew York City’s rental market moves at a rapid place, and to keep up with its ever-changing conditions, the Internet is necessary. Social media websites provide users with platforms to interact with others in the market, and quickly become informed about the latest property news, listings, and transactions. Here at Luxury Rentals Manhattan, we realize that our readers utilize social media regularly, so we have recently launched our very own Facebook page.

NYC Renters Market In Retreat: Rents Up, Vacancies Down On Manhattan Rental Apartments

Like a heroine in a Russian novel, the Manhattan real estate market is never more lovely than when it's ailing. For NYC dwellers looking for Manhattan rental apartments, at least, a weak NYC rental market is a friendly NYC rental market, with all the rental concessions, no fee apartment listings and deals on Manhattan luxury rentals that entails. But while the economies of New York City and New York state are still struggling along, the NYC real estate scene has surged back to robust health in recent months. For landlords, this is great news. For people searching Manhattan rental listings, it's somewhat less so. The July New York City rental report by The Real Estate Group New York bears why that is -- the almost total disappearance of rental concessions, the scarcity of no-fee rental listings, and a modest but notable across-the-board hike in rents on Manhattan rental apartments. Read on, if you dare.

Emerald Green Offshoots: Developers Behind Garment District Green Rental Emerald Green Planning 39th Street Spin-Off

There's no sense in trying to hide it: we at Luxury Rentals Manhattan love the Garment District's Emerald Green. The LEED-certified green rental building is not only one of the more intriguing new green rental listings in Manhattan, but Emerald Green's location -- 320 West 38th Street, if you're curious -- in a neighborhood otherwise fairly short on luxury rental listings (green or otherwise) makes it an especially intriguing development. More intriguing is the news that Glenwood, the heavy-hitter Manhattan real estate developers behind Emerald Green, are planning an Emerald Green sequel in the same neighborhood, at 330 West 39th Street. Even if Emerald Green weren't such a favorite of ours here at Luxury Rentals Manhattan, this would be an interesting development.
