The report details the conditions of the market in the 1st half of 2008 which remained a strong period for furnished rentals especially in the vacation rentals market which saw one of the largest increases in the number of completed rentals during New York Habitat's 19 years in business.

For additional perspective on the market, market report creator Brian Lowenberg says, "The 1st half of 2008 continued to show strong growth even with the American economy slowing down. The weak U.S. dollar helped continue to drive business in the spring and summer." He goes on to say that, "Though the 1st half of the year was quite strong with the continued weakness in the economy, a correction in prices could be possible in the 2nd half of 2008."
