Sneak Preview of the First Quarter 2011 Survey

With the March 2011 survey in full swing, let's hear from some our folks on the front lines

In Phoenix.......

"I've noticed there are some changes in the market....rents are slightly on the upswing in communities like Scottsdale and stable in areas like Phoenix.  And there are lots of changes in ownership.   Mostly bank owned changes due to foreclosure."

In Orlando....

                                                                                              

 "Most managers are saying rents are unchanged.  Where rents have gone down, they are down by only $20-30 per unit."

 

In Indianapolis.......

.

"I'm seeing changes.  Mostly rents are up or staying the same.  Nothing going down."

In Orange County.....

                                                                                       

"Looks like we're having an upward turn.  Rents and occupancy are both on the rise."
