I bet he’s done some vacationing in the last 60 years. I gave my wife a dart and a poster of a world map and told her, “Throw this and wherever it lands I’m taking you on vacation when this pandemic is over.” Turns out we’re going to be spending two weeks behind the fridge. Will there be demand for summer vacations this year? There is certainly an ample supply of places to go and stay… Supply and demand rules all! For example, rents have declined dramatically in big cities like San Francisco and New York as WFH people have moved out & demand dropped, but landlords are beginning to lease up again as decreased rents appear to be enticing tenants to return to the city, or hold on to current residents. In Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, the number of leases signed last month beat the record set in 2012 during the comeback from the global financial crisis. Things aren’t so fun on the buy side, however: research shows that out of 123 U.S. million households, over 21 million can’t afford a $100,000 home. audio version of the commentary, featuring an interview with Susi Shlenk, VP of MSR Services at MCT, is sponsored by MCT MSR Services.)
