It's unemployment and the new mentality of saving. That being said, if you have a good product (apartment) and price it right it will be gone in the blink of an eye. As a landlord, if you were barely profitable before the economic downturn, now you will most likely be unprofitable. I imagine, like all other types of property owners, there were plenty of investments that were over extended and over leveraged that are in trouble now.

A good example is from the lease signing I had last night: 1 bed on Hancock St. typically priced at $1650 was lowered to $1600. My client made an offer for $1500, it was accepted and the owners are paying the full broker fee. Very true, I am happy for the rental clients I have now because there are so many deals to be had.
