So, what’s new in New York Real Estate? Let’s take a look at the numbers… Month over month, Brooklyn has seen seasonal softness in rentals over the past few months. Strong leasing activity, landlord concessions and better marketing, may finally be turning that around according to the latest data. Overall, Brooklyn rental prices nudge up slightly in January 2018, by 0.7%. While rents continued to slide in some of Brooklyn’s most fashionable neighborhoods in January, less expensive ones picked up steam. Top performers, include: Bushwick, Crown Heights, and Prospect Lefferts Gardens. DUMBO still holds the title for most expensive apartments in Brooklyn, thanks to new luxury units. The most affordable rental apartments are being seen in Bay Ridge, Prospect Lefferts Gardens and Fort Greene. Among the most notable stats over the last month was the 3.8% jump in Fort Greene rental prices. Showing more tenants leaning towards more affordable Brooklyn neighborhoods. Month over month, overall Brooklyn rents have nudged up. Price per square foot fell by 6.8%, Listing inventory is down by over 15%, and days on market are up by 20% to 33 days. Year over year, Brooklyn rental prices are relatively flat. The number of leases being signed are up dramatically, by 42.1%. However, this could be directly linked to a near 30% increase in concessions over last year. Overall: New leases are down by over 40% OP + Concessions are up 29.4%% Negotiability and discounts rose just under 1% Inventory levels dropped by over 21% And marketing time has dropped to 33 days This data may be very encouraging landlords after several months of softness. Landlords do appear to be dealing with the correction or season with stronger offers for new tenants. Hopefully, lower inventory levels will help keep a good balance and strong leasing market over the next few months. Now let’s take a look at rentals by unit type: For studios Average price per foot is up slightly to $57 average unit size is down to 510 square feet Average Days on the market is up sharply to 56 days 17 studios are No Fee, and 115 are Fee apartments Month over month changes saw rents rise 3.4% And year over year rents are up 3.2% Renters paid around $3,000 more per month for no fee studio rentals last month. Having on-site laundry facilities in the building made a positive difference of approximately $900 per month in January Units with elevators rented for around $500 per month more than walk-up units last month. Gyms are still one of the top amenities tenants are looking for. They added an average of $2,300 per month to rents last month. Units with full-time lobby attendance are renting for over $1,200 a month more. In all, we are seeing a big premium outdoor space. For 1 bedrooms... Average price per foot is steady at $47 The average unit size is down to 722 square feet Average Days on the market is up substantially to 71 days 6 1 beds were No Fee, versus 128 Fee apartments Month over month change rents are down 0.8% year over year rents are up 3.2% No fee 1 bedrooms rented for $17 more per square foot than fee apartments last month. Having a laundry in the building saw 1 beds renting for $8 more per square foot Units with NO private outdoor space are renting for around $200 less per month The difference in rents for elevator versus walk-up units is $9 per square foot Units with gyms rented for $13 more per square foot last month. Buildings with full-time lobby attendants are renting for almost $500 more per month than those without attendants. Now on to 2 bedroom rentals… The average 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn now rents for $2,820 Average price per foot is $40 average unit size is 949 square feet Average Days on the market is up a lot to 80 days 8, 2 bedroom apartments were No Fee rentals, versus 217 Fee rentals Month over month rents are up 1.5% But year over year they are down 0.2% Having a laundry in the building can add over $300 per month to the rent. Those with private outdoor spaces rented for $11 more per square foot A 2 bedroom with a gym in the building is getting $14 more per square foot Those with full-time lobby attendant are renting for over $1.000 more per month. There is around a $500 premium for elevator versus walk-up apartments. For 3 bedroom apartments the average price per foot is flat at $39 The average unit size is 1,400 square foot Average Days on the market is up to 75 days 2, 3 bedroom rentals were No Fee, versus 113 rentals with Fee Month over month rents are down 11.7% year over year rents are UP 13.2% No FEE apartments rented for almost $2,000 less than fee apartments last month. Those with gyms rented for $19 more per square foot. Having a laundry in the building can make a $13 difference per rent per square foot Expect to get as much as $1,133 more per month for units with private outdoor space Elevator apartments rented for $17 more per square foot last month Having a full-time lobby attendant made a $20 per square foot difference, with total monthly rent almost $4,000 more for 3 bedroom units in these buildings In summary… What the break down in this data shows Brooklyn landlords, is that the market is still strong, but concessions may need to be offered to rent faster. A new dip in inventory levels could mean better conditions over the next few months. One of the biggest changes in January was the luxury market up the most at over 8% month over month. We are also seeing a massive premium on special features, and more growth in the 3 bedrooms rental market, suggesting that contrary to some media suggestions, NY rentals actually want more space. Other notable changes show a shift in demand and acceleration of rents to emerging and affordable areas, like Fort Greene.

'used to' for past habits The text is called ‘Guys used to wear hats’ and this talks about – yep, you guessed it – how people used to wear hats once upon a time, but it seems this is no longer true. But first let’s talk about the grammar, used to. You know how the past tense talks about a finished or competed action that we also know when it happened, like I ate cereal for breakfast? Well, used to talks about past routines or past habits or past situations that were regular but that don’t happen anymore now. So,’ I used to wear short pants when I went to school (but I don’t anymore)’. Or ‘I used to work out every Saturday (but I don’t anymore)’. Used to shows the difference between the past and the present, saying that something was regular but it stopped. You can make this clearer by adding a negative phrase like ‘I don’t now’, or ‘I don’t anymore’.  You can also use it to talk about states that are no longer true, like ‘I used to be fat but then I went on this great exercise program’. To make it is pretty simple – just add used to in front of the base form of the verb like this – ‘I used to love her’. To make the negative, just put didn’t in front of used to, like ‘I didn’t used to love her’ what does this mean? It means I do now! You can also use never instead of didn’t for the same meaning, so ‘I never used to love her’. A quick warning about spelling for negatives – the past in used to is ed, in the negative it loses the d and the past is shown in the didn’t, so negatives with didn’t lose the d. But…with never, used to keeps the d. Why is that? Because it still shows the past. To make questions just put did in front of used to, so ‘When you were a kid, did you use to play with the other kids or stay at home?’ One interesting point (well, for saddoes like me, anyway) is that you can use would instead of used to for nearly exactly the same things except for one exception. So for example, you can say ‘I would wear shorts to school’. But the problem is that you can only use would when it is a regular, repetitive action, NOT a state. Huh??? What’s the difference? Well, we can say ‘I used to’ or ‘I would’ or ‘I’d wear shorts’ because it is an action. But what about a state? We can’t use would here. Try this one – ‘I used to be happy before I met you’, then change it with would. ‘I would be happy before I met you.’ Nope, it doesn’t work. So, would can be used in most places where used to can be used except for state of being. Gotta love all the little exceptions in English. OK, so to summarize, we can use used to to talk about routines and habits that are no longer true. Watch out for the spelling in the negative and the question form as it drops the d. Lastly, watch out you don’t confuse it with two verbs that sound similar but have different meanings. These are, get used to doing something, and be used to doing something. Now, on to the comprehension text. This little text talks about how in the past people had a regular habit of wearing hats but now – yep – just look around you, they don’t seem to wear hats so much. Now, why is that? Listen to the text and find out. And don’t forget to download the transcript from our website, New English Academy.com and check out the great online learning activities and games and tests. Guys used to wear hats There was a neat little article on NPR the other day about how, in the past, men always used to wear hats, but now they don’t. I know my grandfather had some ideas about fashion and what men should wear. For example, he thought gentlemen shouldn’t show their braces (the elastic things that hold your pants up) in public. And he especially felt that going out without a hat was like walking around in the nude. People used to think that way, once upon a time. If you look at old movies and pictures of until about 40 years ago, you can see that guys always used to wear hats. People used to have hats for different occasions, so you had a collection. For example, you used to have a going-to-church-type hat, a going-to-work-type hat, a working-in-the-garden-type hat, etc. In fact, there even used to be a TV commercial in the UK for beer where a middle-aged wife wants to know where her husband has gone so she looks at the hat rack by the front door. His fishing hat is missing so she assumes he has gone fishing. The commercial ends of course with our hero sitting in a pub, drinking his favourite beer and wearing his fishing hat! The NPR article gave various reasons for why hats used to be popular and why men no longer wear them. Obviously, they keep your head warm and dry and protect you from the sun. And that was fine when people used to spend a lot of time outdoors, either travelling to work or working outside. But nowadays people drive to work, and it is pointless and even uncomfortable to wear a hat in your car. I guess people don’t go outside as much as they used to. Also, we have good sun-glasses now to protect our eyes. Another reason why men don’t wear hats so much these days is that hair-style is more important than it used to be. Wearing a hat gives you hat-head, where your hair is all mussed up. Lastly, a hat is an extra thing to carry around, something else to worry about when we don’t need extra hassle. Often things these days are designed to be functional but pocket-sized. I haven’t seen a good-looking hat you can get in your pocket yet. The only guys I see who still regularly wear hats are blue-collar American men, with their bill-caps or baseball caps. They wear them wherever they are, outside, when they are driving, or indoors. At sports events they all stand up and remove their caps and place them over their hearts when they hear the national anthem.  They each probably have just the one cap which they wear day in, day out. Perhaps like my grandfather they feel naked if they go out without their cap.   I have to wonder, how will our world change? What do we take for granted now that will disappear in the future? Will our grandchildren look at movies and pictures of us now and talk about what we used to do that they don’t do anymore? What will change, do you think?
