Notes from the President

Welcome to our 4th Quarter 2009 issue of MARKETView, Citi Habitats’ e-magazine dedicated to assisting companies and individuals dealing with the complexities involved in corporate relocation.

In this issue, we are pleased to present our 4th Quarter /

Year-End 2009 Residential Rental Market Report. This reports profiles data based on Citi Habitats’ closed rental transactions and data in Manhattan for the periods October–December and January-December 2009.

Results for the 4th Quarter 2009 vs. 3rd Quarter 2009 were atypical of past market trends. Because the 3rd Quarter figures include peak season rental tallies, adjustments in rental prices and vacancy rates in the 4th Quarter are usually notable. However, during this 4th Quarter we saw only nominal decreases in both rental pricing and a marginal increase in the vacancy rate.

As we expected, the 2009 rental market underwent price corrections. Prices on average are approximately 7% lower than in 2008 and this adjustment does not include landlord incentives such as free rent which, when factored in, would make price reductions greater. Vacancy rates are marginally higher in 2009 (but continue to remain below 2%) from 2008 totals. However, over 3,700 new rental units came to market during 2009 (south of 96th Street) and we saw incredible absorption with respect to this new product.

Also in this issue, we are pleased to present our 4th Quarter 2009 Residential Sales Market Report. This reports profiles data based on sales transactions and data in Manhattan for the period October-December 2009 and includes the Manhattan resale, new developments and luxury market property categories. As the premier residential brokerage firm in Manhattan, we are able to give you first-hand market data on the factors that impact your bottom line. These reports are designed to keep you and your company current on the multitude of factors affecting the Manhattan real estate market and the potential impact on your relocation decisions.

In addition to current Manhattan rental market data, MARKETView contains links to topical real estate news features, as well as a multitude of other relocation-related topics selected to keep you best informed.

David Kong is focused on helping clients make informed decisions on buying, sell-

ing, renting and listing. He has an entrepreneurial spirit and knows that all success

begins with relationships built on trust. David goes above and beyond what all other real estate agents

do to ensure complete satisfaction.

David previously owned and operated an event coordinating company that specialized in University func-

tions. He also successfully ran a retail business, growing the company tenfold within five years. Before

coming to Citi Habitats, David was CEO of a company that manufactured golf accessories for women.

David was born in South Korea, but was raised in Wellesley. He graduated from Boston University and

is fluent in both English and Korean. David loves to give back to the community and volunteers his time

as a fifth grade Sunday School Teacher and a coach for his church’s girl’s volleyball team. David loves

cooking, fishing, volleyball, the outdoors, skydiving, travel, music…basically anything that keeps the body,

mind and soul active and growing.

When David bought his first home, the process did not go well. “I felt as though I was taken advantage

of by both the real estate agent and the mortgage broker. I want to make sure that this never happens to

anyone else. I will make it my mission to take you through the process step by step so that you get exactly

what you want. I look forward to finding you the home you want.”

Citi Habitats Residential Rental Market Report4th Quarter / Year-End Review 2009 Our results for December 2009 continued the pattern seen during the prior eight months of 2009 of minor price adjustments providing us with further evidence that the Manhattan rental market had found its footing in terms of pricing. Additionally, vacancy rates which historically increase during this period actually decreased slightly over November’s rate, indicating positive absorption in the market.

Results for the 4th Quarter 2009 vs. 3rd Quarter 2009 also were atypical of past market trends. Because the 3rd Quarter figures include peak season rental tallies, adjustments in rental prices and vacancy rates in the 4th Quarter are usually notable. However, during this 4th Quarter we saw only nominal decreases in both rental pricing and a marginal increase in the vacancy rate.

As we expected, the 2009 rental market underwent price corrections. Prices on average are approximately 7% lower than in 2008 and this adjustment does not include landlord incentives such as free rent which, when factored in, would make price reductions greater. Vacancy rates are marginally higher in 2009 (but continue to remain below 2%) from 2008 totals. However, over 3,700 new rental units came to market during 2009 (south of 96th Street) and we saw incredible absorption with respect to this new product. During this period, CHMG, Citi Habitats’ development marketing group, rented Silver Towers at a very brisk pace, renting over 40% of market-rate units during its launch phase as well as the lease-up or completion of Dwell95, The Westbourne, Greystone, and The Hub.

In 2009 Citi Habitats reached the incredible milestone of renting over 12,900 apartments in one year, an increase of 23% as compared with the 2008 total of more than 10,500 rental transactions. Many factors came into play during the year that contributed to achieving this incredible feat. 2009 was a great year to be a renter; because of the combination of lower prices and landlord incentives, amazing rental opportunities existed in the marketplace. Some, previously priced out of the Manhattan market and living in an outer borough were now able to afford an apartment in Manhattan. Many upgraded and moved to a larger space or a neighborhood closer to their job for less or equal rent. In any event, these indicators are a clear testament to the health and vitality of the rental market and the long-term prospects of our great City.

Please note the following with respect to this report:

1. The statistics in this report were compiled using solely Citi Habitats closed transactions during the stated period(s).2. Average rents cited in this report are, for the majority, gross rents, not net effective rents, and do not include

landlord incentives, unless the face rent reported on the lease was the net-effective amount. Factoring in rent concessions, average rents may be between 5% to 7% lower. However, not every rental transaction contains a landlord concession.

We hope you will find this study informative and we welcome any questions you may have regarding it. Sincerely,

Gary Malin, President We find more New Yorkers homes than any other brokerage firm.
