MANHATTAN The Manhattan vacancy rate fell to 2%
from 2.32% in the same period last year.
Consistent with this decline, rentals with
landlord concessions had single-digit
market share; approximately 4% of all new
rentals had some form of concession,
compared to 25% two years ago.

than there were a year ago, as high
rent levels caused more “churn” in the

and days on market also reflected
landlords tending to push for rent
increases at the time of lease renewals.
