Here’s a quick recap of the 2Q 2010 Queens Market Overview that we prepare for Prudential Douglas Elliman that was released today.

Here’s a brief recap of the 2Q 2010 Brooklyn Market Overview I authored for Prudential Douglas Elliman and released today.

Here’s a brief, ok not so brief, recap of the Manhattan Rental Market Overview I authored a last week for Prudential Douglas Elliman.

Here’s a brief summary of the 2Q 2010 Manhattan Market Overview released today.  I’ve been authoring a series of market studies covering the New York City metro area for real estate firm Prudential Douglas Elliman since 1994.

I have a great conversation with Nicholas Retsinas, Director, Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. He and his staff just released The State of the Nation’s Housing 2010, a must read overview of the challenges facing the US housing market.

Here are other resources published by JCHS.

I provide a quick recap of the East End housing market in the first quarter of 2010.

Here’s a quick recap of the Long Island Market Overview I authored for Prudential Douglas Elliman that we released last Thursday.

Last Thursday we published our 1st Quarter 2010 Brooklyn Market Overview and since I am in the throes (sp?) of working on our upcoming Long Island and Hamptons/North Fork reports to be released later this week, I am tardy posting my quick summery to the site.  I view this particular podcast as basically an excuse to play with my iPhone recording software but there is some fairly coherent info presented on the numbers presented in the report.  Check it out.

This is a belated podcast covering the Queens Market Overview I released last Thursday – that I recorded impromptu on my iPhone but then didn’t upload until today.

I take another shot at my podcast recording adventure using my iPhone and the resulting sound quality isn’t bad.

The 1Q 2010 Manhattan Rental Market Overview that my firm Miller Samuel prepares for Prudential Douglas Elliman was published today.  Look for a lot of extracurricular Manhattan market rental analysis between now and the 2Q release in July.

How I did it – Once I record the podcast on my iPhone, I am able to convert the file to an mp4 fomat on my iPhone, upload the file to my ftp server.  I then grab the file from my ftp server and copy it onto my laptop, move it into the Garageband app, add the intro and outro, apply the filters, convert to a new mp3 file and export into iTunes and then upload to this blog. Phew!

Here’s a brief but belated recap of the 1Q 2010 Manhattan Market Overview I prepare for Prudential Douglas Elliman.

This is also the first time I used my iPhone to capture the audio using the FiRe app, but relied on its built-in internal mic and then applied filters in Garageband.  I’m surprised how well the sound quality is given the mic I used.  But I digress…

The Wealth Report 2010 was released today by Knight Frank.  It is a much anticipated annual survey targeted at the high end consumer with great detail on global residential property trends. I have had an ongoing exchange of ideas and have followed their research for quite a while.  I was invited to provide commentary on the New York City market which is included in the report.  In this podcast I interview Editor Andrew Shirley and Liam Bailey, Head of Residential Research.  The interviews were conducted via Skype to their London offices so the quality is a bit lacking.  Nevertheless the quality of their conversation is terrific.

I recently had the good fortune of getting to know the founder and owner of LINK Boston, Debra Taylor Blair.  Her firm built and operates the MLS system in Boston.  She also provides invaluable information to the public and the real estate community through her Conversation Series.

She and I are kindred spirits in the world of data and look forward to a better understanding of the Boston market.

Coming soon:  Matrix coverage of the Boston market.

Here is a brief recap of the 2000-2009 Manhattan Market Market Report my appraisal firm Miller Samuel prepares for Prudential Douglas Elliman. Its 92,000 data points in 53 markets crammed into 61 pages of phonebook-like data bliss.

After moderating 3 foreclosure related panel discussions at the Inman Real Estate Connect conference in New York yesterday, I sat down with Rick Sharga of RealtyTrac (who was one of my panelists) to discuss their foreclosure business and the trends they are observing. I interviewed Rick last fall and always find him to be an endless source of insight and clarity on the distressed asset market.  RealtyTrac released their most recent report yesterday so the timing was perfect.

Hint: 2010-2011 = Peak Foreclosure

Here’s a brief recap of the Manhattan Rental Market Overview for the 4Q 2009 that was published today.  The last quarter of the year was essentially a continuation of the trends observed in the prior quarter.

Here’s a an over view of the just released Manhattan Market Overview for the 4th quarter of 2009.  Its all about declining inventory, rising sales, stabilizing prices and a release of pent-up demand.

A solid recovery?  Not so fast.

I get to have a conversation with Neal Elkin, President of Real Estate Analytics, LLC whose Moody’s/REAL CPPI Reports tracks the commercial real estate space.  I’ve followed Neil’s efforts with Moody’s Investor Service since its inception.

On a side note, I find the correlation of their metrics with the residential market fascinating.

I really enjoyed my interview with Rick Sharga, Senior Vice President of RealtyTrac who was very gracious in accommodating me despite a packed schedule during his New York stay.  

Rick is the foremost expert on the state of the US foreclosure market. I have been a long time reader of their blog ForeclosurePulse.

He was able to keep on topic despite the din of jackhammers outside our building and a few digital squelches. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

In this podcast I speak with Dr. Kevin Gillen, a vice president at Econsult and Research Fellow with the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute for Urban Research.  Kevin produces the seminal housing market report for Philadelphia.

He is releasing his Philadelphia regional report shortly and will introduce a new housing market report on the Jersey Shore in the coming months.
