Apartments vs. Condos downtown
2009-10-28 22:11:00 Crain's reported this morning that 241 downtown units that were slated to be condos will now be converted into apartments. The Mondial at 900 W. Huron and the Trio at 650-670 W. Wayman expect to announce the decisions for sure in the coming months, but have canceled some contracts with buyers. The article brings up some good points- potential buyers who thought they were in good shape two years ago may not really want to close today. And not as many buyers can afford loans today. But other issues may be at hand here: We can't keep dumping hundreds and hundreds of rental units into the downtown market, either. There's not many new jobs becoming available and those that are...

Apartments, Metra and pre-foreclosure plans in the news this week
2009-10-09 22:24:00 Here's a round-up of this week's residential real estate news in Chicago: 1. Apartment vacancies are on the rise: Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism reported that more for-sale properties going on the market as rentals is pushing rents downward and increasing vacancy this quarter- meaning it should now be easier to find an apartment 2. Homes near the Metra are selling better than others: According to the Chicago Sun-Times, you can count on a home near a Metra station selling for 2-4%- not surprising,since you won't have to spend that money on parking at the Metra station. 3. Nearly 10,000 new foreclosures were filed in the first half of 2009 on the Southwest side: The Southwest News-Herald says vacant homes are staying vacant longer, further bringing down property values. 4.

Top five administrative tasks to remember when you move apartments
2009-10-07 16:13:00 Six weeks after moving downstairs to my new apartment, I'm still trying to tie up the odds and ends of the paperwork that comes with the task. Here's some things you should try not to forget when you take off from one place for another: 1.Security deposit: Make sure you've got enough bank for the new one, and make sure you get the old one back. Your old landlord should pay you the interest on holding on to that money as well. Don't count on getting the old one back before you pay the new one. 2. Renters' Insurance: I don't usually like paying this money as I tend to live in neighborhoods where it's unlikely I'll be robbed or...

South Loop condos to switch to apartments
2009-08-08 22:01:00 Yesterday, Crain's reported that the condos at the Roosevelt Collection, 150 W. Roosevelt Road, were going to be repositioned as rental units.

Anaheim adds affordable apartments
2008-08-10 09:05:00 Anaheim is chipping away at O.C.’s lack of affordable housing, unveiling a new project of 63 apartments on Tuesday. Developed by the non-profit Jamboree Housing Corp., Monarch Pointe Apartment Homes is part of a plan to build 1,326 affordable rental units in the city. With these 63 new apartments, the city will have built 400 affordable homes since 2005. The project has 12 one-bedroom, 28 two-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom garden-style apartments. To qualify, households are limited to 30% to 60% of Orange County’s median income. The median for a family of four is $84,100 Rents will range from $498 to $1,225 per month based on family size and income level. With land scarce and expensive in Orange County, the city had to be creative in developing this project. It is built on a vacant parcel on West Crescent Avenue that was left over from the I-5 freeway expansion. Jamboree used some creative financing, combining public and private funds. It also was selected among project...
O.C. 8th lowest in vacant apartments
2008-08-08 22:00:00 Orange County may be seeing more empty rental units, but it still has the eighth lowest vacancy rate nationwide in large apartment complexes, says M/PF YieldStar. The apartment industry analytics firm says O.C. tied with Salt Lake City with a vacancy rate of 4.2% during the second quarter. (M/PF Yieldstar’s survey covered 114,700 O.C. units.) The local vacancy rate was down 0.2 points from the first quarter, but up 0.3 points year-over-year. O.C. hasn’t seen rates that high for six years, says Greg Willett, M/PF Yieldstar vice president of research and analysis. But from his vantage point in Carrollton, Texas, that still ain’t half bad. “From your local perspective, it doesn’t look that great, but it’s actually pretty good when you look nationwide,” he says. “Occupancy is holding up pretty well.” Where is it worse? Try Florida, where 80% of large apartment complexes are vacant, says Willett. “South Florida is doing reas...
Foreclosure refugees skipping apartments
2008-08-07 09:05:00 A new nationwide National Multi Housing Council study says owners of the biggest apartments are seeing very few applicants applying to rent after a foreclosure. NMHC says apartment industry data show only 2% to 6% of all apartment applicants were seeking to rent after running into trouble with their mortgage. In fact, only 23.5% of apartment applicants have ever even had a mortgage, according to First Advantage SafeRent, which does apartment applicant screening. Only 5.4% of those with previous mortgages had ever been 90 days behind or defaulted. Experts have several theories about why there hasn’t been a flood of foreclosure refugees into apartments: Foreclosures may involve investment properties Some are renting houses rather than apartments Those with credit problems are applying for units that don’t screen applicants They could be moving in with family. That doesn’t mean the coast is clear, notes the study, “Renter Credit Quality in a Volatile Housi...

Pet Friendly Apartments
2008-06-04 19:48:00 It seems as though more and more apartment complexes are becoming “Pet Friendly.” A complex near where we live recently posted signs advertising this fact to everyone who drives by.A different complex owner recently told me that he tried to fight it for a long time, but finally gave in and started allowing “small” pets. It seemed more and more people were asking him if he allowed pets, and by saying no, his rents were going empty. The reasons to ban pets usually involve the potential mess the pets will make in the apartment, the potential damages, the noise issues, and liability if a pet attacks someone or causes and injury to other in the complex.But, for that last issue, I’ve recently read where it usually isn’t the landlord’s responsibility if a dog bites someone. As a pet owner you are the one liable. Just leasing premises to a tenant with a dog usually isn’t enough, by itself, to make a landlord legally responsible for a tenant’s dog. A court would have to pro...

Vietnam to Permit Foreign Ownership of Apartments
2008-05-29 10:53:00 Vietnam’s National Assembly recently adopted a resolution that permits foreigners who live in the country to purchase apartments. This will aid the country’s real estate market and give a boost to international companies who do business in Vietnam, and particularly their employees who live and work there. Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, is the main economic and cultural center for the country and it will be affected most directly by the new resolution. There are a number of industrial parks and residential cities in and around the greater metro area, and these will benefit as soon as it goes into affect in the beginning of next year.
Apartments In Demand Over Last Quarter
2008-05-21 19:26:00 Michael Ryder, who is a middle-aged information technology business analyst, has claimed to have slept on the floor of his unheated Winston-Salem home in North Carolina before getting evicted last December. Just like several other homeowners, Ryder had felt flush with equity during the housing boom. At that time, he had impulsively taken a $30,000 loan to build a pool and a deck for his new home. The property itself was bought in 1998 when he even bought a fixer-upper country home where he had in fact decided to reside. However, as Ryder’s marriage collapsed, his wife won the ownership of the county house leaving him with the other property. As the real estate market softened over the years, he still could not sell off the remaining portion of his house for enough money to offset the rising mortgage bills. He could not even work out a deal in his favor that would have allowed him to stop paying the regular monthly mortgage installment, and therefore, the inevitable followed. As he...

Battles Loom Over Rent-Controlled NYC Apartments
2008-05-10 01:37:00 With the sale last year of a large number of the city's public housing units, the battle over New York City's subsidized housing was brought into stark relief. Indeed, last year's sale of the Manhattan apartment complexes was not only the largest sale of city land ever, it was part of a larger trend. Over the past several Republican administrations in City Hall, and even before that, the city has been steadily reducing their responsibilities in the public housing sector. The problem has become especially acute as housing prices began to soar in the latest housing boom. Property values became so high that the city felt more and more pressure from landlords to raise the ceilings on monthly rentals in rent-controlled apartments. Now however, as the economy is beginning to tank, a whole world of hurt is starting to come down on the pocketbooks of those living in rent controlled apartments. As if that weren't enough, oil prices are going to be ...
