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 mostly maintained recent gains and should continue to gain steam through the rest of the summer break.

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.
