Apartment Rents Are Rising
Filed under: REALTORS® Confidence Index, Renting
Realtors® have been reporting rising rents on a year-over-year basis. In recent years total housing production (single family, multifamily, manufactured housing) has been running in the neighborhood of 600,000 units, while the demand for new space due to housing formations, obsolescence of the existing housing stock, and second homes has been in the neighborhood of 1.35 million units. We are continuing to run a housing deficit.
Currently the housing markets are perceived as slow—both in terms of price and sales. However, unmet demand for new units is building on an ongoing basis, so it appears that there continues to be the potential for rent increases, and some of this increased demand should eat into the foreclosure and shadow inventories in future years.

Let's go green...here is an interesting article on the new lights bulbs and the actual legislation on them:
Shedding New Light On Incandescent Light Bulb
Published: August 11, 2011
Panicky home owners fearing the light bulb police will take away their incandescents should chillax.
Panicky home owners fearing the light bulb police will take away their incandescents should chillax. Federal legislation doesn’t ban Edison’s bulb; it just requires that 100-watt incandescent bulbs become roughly 30% more energy efficient by January 2012; 75-watt bulbs in 2013, and 60- and 40-watt bulbs in 2014.
But your pulse should race at the number of light bulb choices currently on the market and the change in terminology on the horizon, says an article in today’s New York Times. CFLs, LEDs, lumens, and watt equivalents — it’s enough to make you shut off the lights and take a nap.
Times reporter Bob Tedeschi grabbed armloads of different bulbs and tested them throughout his house, so you don’t have to. He likes GE Bright from the Start Energy Smart CFL for the kitchen; Philips EcoVantage and SylvaniaSuperSaver for the dining room; and Philips AmbientLED for reading in the living room.
Tedeschi also provides some tips for the light bulb challenged — basically, all of us.
His top tip? Take it slow.
“Don’t shop all at once for every socket in the house,” Tedeschi says. “Lighting technology, particularly for LEDs, is improving rapidly, and prices are dropping steadily, so it makes more sense to replace bulbs as needed.”
What do you think about the new lightbulb standards? Will you ditch your old incandescent bulbs or hoard them?
