RealEstate – BERGER PAINTS DUBAI http://bergerpaintsarabia.com.af BPDT Sun, 05 Nov 2017 10:05:24 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.14 http://bergerpaintsarabia.com.af/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/cropped-Untitled-1-32x32.jpg RealEstate – BERGER PAINTS DUBAI http://bergerpaintsarabia.com.af 32 32 Manhattan rents finally went down http://bergerpaintsarabia.com.af/manhattan-rents-finally-went-down/ http://bergerpaintsarabia.com.af/manhattan-rents-finally-went-down/#respond Mon, 11 Apr 2016 06:55:17 +0000 http://demovenustheme.com/wordpress/fullhouse/demo_1/?p=8753 For the first time in two years, rents in Manhattan actually got cheaper. The median rental price in New York City’s most expensive borough dropped 2.8% to $3,300 in March from the same time a year ago. This is the first annual decline in 24 months, according to the latest report by real estate appraisal firm Miller Samuel for Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

“The rental market is sitting within the city’s robust economy so that drives demand,” said Jonathan Miller, CEO of appraiser firm Miller Samuel. “But there has been this disconnect with the type of housing we are bringing to market and the wages that are being paid.”

The rental market has been tapping the brakes since August, but Miller doesn’t expect rents to continue to decline.

“We will see this up and down pattern, which is going to be the equivalent to moving sideways,” said Miller.

But here’s some more good news for renters: It’s also getting easier to find an apartment in Manhattan with the vacancy rate rising to 2.4% in March from 1.99% a year ago.

Landlords are offering more concessions — like a month of free rent — to help attract tenants.

The top-end of the market is showing the most weakness. Rent for Manhattan’s most expensive apartments made the steepest drop of 3.5%.

Developers have been focusing on building high-end apartments to help bolster their profit margins as the cost of land on the island soars.

Renters have been fleeing Manhattan in search of cheaper housing, which has pushed rent prices up in the other boroughs and increased home sales in nearby suburbs.

The number of new leases soared almost 37% in Brooklyn as the median rent jumped 2.7% to $2,775 last month.

Star Trek: Voyager’s Jeri Ryan lists Hollywood home http://bergerpaintsarabia.com.af/star-trek-voyagers-jeri-ryan-lists-hollywood-home/ http://bergerpaintsarabia.com.af/star-trek-voyagers-jeri-ryan-lists-hollywood-home/#respond Wed, 06 Apr 2016 08:58:39 +0000 http://demovenustheme.com/wordpress/fullhouse/demo_1/?p=8768 The Borg alcove prop, which was a device used by Borg drones for regeneration in the TV series, is included with the property as reported by Sky News Real Estate’s Prue Miller. The asking price for the home is $US6.9 million.

The 48-year-old confirmed she used the same prop on the show after a fan asked her about it on Twitter.

Located in the living area, the alcove is placed alongside the pool table, full bar and fireplace, perhaps making it a great setting for a Star Trek movie marathon.

The impressive cinema room seats 20 on plush sofas, providing that next-level comfort.

The 0.5 hectare French-inspired property features an six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a large kitchen and an office.

The grounds surrounding the home are particularly impressive. An oak tree in the front garden is complemented by well-maintained lawns.

The pool area also provides plenty of shade for those warmer months of the year.

Since buying the Encino property in 2000 for $US4 million, the home has been renovated several times.

If sold at asking price, the German-born actress will make close to a $US3 million profit; well above the $1.249 million median price of a home in Encino, California.
