Short-term rental demand rose in New Jersey after Airbnb restrictions in New York City
It’s been just about six months since New York City placed major restrictions on short-term rental properties like Airbnb — and North Jersey is reaping the benefits.
In September, New York City enacted the Short-Term Rental Registration Law. The policy requires short-term rental hosts to register their property to the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement and prohibits booking service platforms from facilitating transactions for unregistered short-term rentals. Additionally, hosts on platforms like Airbnb cannot rent out an entire apartment or home for bookings of less than 30 days, and instead can only rent out a room in a space that permanent residents are living in.
Because of this, there are now fewer than 5,000 short-term rentals on Airbnb in New York City, according to Inside Airbnb, a housing advocacy group that compiles data from Airbnb’s website. In contrast, there are more than 34,000 rentals available for stays of 30 days or more — which do not require registration for short-term rental licenses.
While there has not be an increase in short-term rental listings in New Jersey, these restrictions have created a higher demand for short-term rentals here as visitors consider other options for places to stay nearby.
In fact, areas like Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken and Union City have seen a dramatic increase in demand for short-term rentals because of their proximity to New York City and their ability to offer quick access to Manhattan. According to AirDNA — a short-term rental intelligence firm — demands for short-term rentals rose by 84% in Jersey City, 59% in Weehawken, 40% in Union City and 35% in Hoboken in February 2024 compared to this time last year.
From the Star Ledger:
The housing market in N.J. has slowed — except for these types of homes
Home sales in New Jersey, overall, declined 22% last year but there was one segment of the market where sales were actually up.
Sales of homes priced $2.5 million and above increased by 3% in 2023. And they’re up 30% so far in 2024, according to data from the Otteau Group.
…
“The stronger performance of the super-luxury segment is attributable to inflation and elevated mortgage interest rates being less consequential for affluent households with higher disposable income and savings,” said Jeffrey Otteau, a real estate economist who heads the Otteau Group.
Sales were down the most, 27%, in the under $400,000 price range, where buyers are the most monthly payment conscious. They were down 13% for homes priced at $400,000 to $599,999, 9% for homes between $600,000 to $1 million and 1% for $1 million to $2.5 million homes.
…
Inventory in New Jersey has been on the decline for the past decade. In July 2011, there were 71,194 homes on the market in New Jersey, according to data from the Otteau Group. By July 2021, there were 20,729 homes on the market.
Just two and a half years later, that number has declined by nearly 50%. There were 10,500 homes on the market as of January 2024, according to data from the Otteau Group.
71,000 to 10,500 homes available for sale in a 10-year span. That’s remarkable. And sales down 27% in the under $400,000 range? Can you buy anything for under $400,000? The inner cities? Bridgeton? Vineland?

Ray Dalio endorses Taylor Swift for President
The founder of the massive hedge fund Bridgewater Associates posted a selfie at a Taylor Swift concert in Singapore on Thursday and wrote that he was inspired by her ability to bring people together.
“@taylorswift13 for President! I just saw her at her concert in Singapore and realized that she can bring together Americans and people in most countries much better than either of the candidates…” he posted on X, formerly Twitter.
It was clear he had a great time: “Watching this concert with people from all over the world made me and them feel good and connected and reminded me how powerful that universal culture is,” he wrote, before posing a question about politics: “Wouldn’t it be great if we had two candidates who could lead that culture and make smart leadership decisions too?”
Sheng Nu Taylor won’t be 35 until after the election.
Juice,
Who cares what constitution says? Surely we can change it for her. I mean, we can’t even define an insurrection. Trump did not ride in on a horse with sword drawn to attack Capitol. Clearly he is innocent.
Yeah sales are down, because there is no inventory, sale price I am sure is way up
Go Big or go Home.
Ark Director Tasha Keeney says AI companies will be worth 220 Trillion in only 5 years…… The total market cap of the US Equity market today is 50 Trillion….
“The future of artificial intelligence (AI) is set to bring about a significant financial impact, with Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest analyst Tasha Keeney estimating a $28 trillion opportunity. Keeney has identified key sectors that stand to benefit, including Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and drone technology.
What Happened: Keeney, the director of investment analysis and institutional strategies at Ark Invest, has projected that the equity market capitalization linked to innovation will soar to $220 trillion by the end of the decade, largely driven by AI, reported CNBC on Sunday.
Ark Invest, known for its focus on innovation, has investments in various sectors, including autonomous vehicles, drones, robotics, energy storage, 3D printing, and space exploration through its Ark Autonomous Tech & Robotics ETF (ARKQ).
“Autonomous cars are already driving in major cities today across the globe. We think that in the next 10 years, that will scale up. I think that opportunity alone could be worth $28 trillion in enterprise value because this will be very disruptive,” she told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia.”
I love when they value the non-existent autonomous vehicle market. As if we are all going to drop 10k annually riding these vehicles. I think I’ve paid about 300 in taxi rides the past decade.
BRT, they’re shameless….they’ve been beating this autonomous drum forever for TSLA…I’m pretty sure we’re well through their first prediction of flying cars and 10T market cap for TSLA…not going to waste the time to check as I don’t need any more data points to demonstrate they’ve passed from incompetent to fraudulent bordering on criminal.
chi, yeah, interesting change on the playoffs…Red needs to capture the title, dreary outlook otherwise…currently sitting at 17 with both the AHA and CCHA having no one in the top 16 means only 14 slots actually open if they don’t take the conference…and that’s before OSU now being just two single elimination games away from grabbing another slot after upsetting Wisco….
Got that Reddit IPO invite.
Scam or play it?
“Who cares what constitution says? Surely we can change it for her. I mean, we can’t even define an insurrection.”
Guess you’re not a fan of irony…very clear from your context and background the sarcastic intent of your statement however you are aware you have just underscored the [painfully obvious] reasoning of a unanimous SCOTUS on this exact topic….
As I’ve said here from the beginning of this insur-erection silliness I don’t know who gets to define it but I do know who *doesn’t* get to….you, some backwoods little girl from Maine, or CO….
Wonderful morning. My neighbor’s tree is down in his front yard, I’m watching trees around my property swaying in horror, my sump pump is still going off sporadically from this rain days ago and my lower back is killing me. If I have to wheel this generator in place, that will totally suck. Happy Monday!
Grim,
From what I read, there is some risk. But the potential reward is decent. It’s not my kind of investment, but if I were to guess, it probably will do pretty well. I and nearly everyone I know uses Reddit for personal research. Shouldn’t be too difficult to monetize, especially once AI can digest the massive amounts of data contributed there. Personally, I wouldn’t put more than 5% of my nest egg in to it. It also has some Wall Street Bets potential with the potential large number of retail investors all who are research and group think-minded. There will probably be two ways to play it. Either take the easy money quickly or play it longer term. Though I’m not sure what the required holding period is. You could probably find out on Reddit. :P
Eddie, is the tree touching any part of your house? If it is, your homeowners will pay for the removal. If not, it’s your responsibility.
Surprised I’m not seeing more trees down, soil is still sopping wet everywhere. Might just need to go rent the core aerator, and do an early pass of the lawn.
Ground is still frozen. Too early to aerate IMO. Way to early to plant grass seed.
Open house on the block last week, listed at $750k, multiple offers, entering contract, probably $800k is my guess.
I thought best time to aerate was in the fall? I never did it. My lawn seems to do well enough with the standard weed and feed spring and summer and winterizer in the fall. That’s it really.
Then again, my lawn gets all the water from the enter block. :P
My whole lawn is squishy. Although, I don’t aerate anymore. If you have clover and an organic layer on top, it’s never really necessary. You could plant seed now without any issue but it will just take longer to sprout.
Lib,
Tree is across the street on my neighbor’s lawn. It’s one of those really tall pine trees. 75 foot? Maybe more? I’ve had my fun with trees down on my property, I don’t need any more excitement. The sump pump running and the power going out is my concern.
Play the Reddit IPO. You won’t be allocated an amount of shares meaningful to your investment portfolio. The whole friends and family allocation is just 1.76m shares, you’ll get a couple hundred or so at best. With the price range currently $31-34 it’s under $10k.
Don’t even bother trying to evaluate the company…take the shares and play the momentum…unless they totally fuck up the pricing and initial trade – which odds are they won’t as Morgan Stanley has the books – ride it as far as you want (minutes, hours, days) and take the profit.
Two caveats…if they come back to you and offer, say, 5k shares…run. Means everyone else has taken a pass and you’re the stuffee, unless you are an UHNW client at MS. And, just watch for a lockup period…if they won’t let you sell right away you may want to reconsider but again odds are in favor of this moving up rather than drastically down, ie. you shouldn’t be down 50% in days and even if it hits that level at a normal allocation that’s only a few $k loss….
It’s the perfect pump and dump Grim.
Reddit will allow its community members to sell their shares immediately….lots of volatility, the kids with trading apps on their phones are desperate for screen shot cred, especially the sling blades on Wallstreetbets..
Up up pump pump then crash! Long term it’s another AOL.
..but left knows the definition of ‘arms’ and ensuring that no one who wants a AR rifle should be without one. Classic
One thing to remember about to Reddit as well is they just whored themselves to google for only $60 million. That is a drop in the bucket for their data. They are also going to build their AI with google tech? This is another AOL. People will leave in droves as the attempt to monetize message boards to become profitable.

Pretty sure there is long and varied path of prior decisions and legislation over decades by Parties actually empowered to do so on that topic, dingus. LOL.

Biden unveils massive tax hikes in bid to cut $3TRILLION off the deficit in 10 years: President’s budget to include 25% tax on billionaires after warning in State of the Union the wealthy will ‘pay their fair share’
Longer term agree with you JB regarding Reddit, especially since it is not ‘new’ and over its what 15 years still hasn’t found a way to monetize its operations…
But on the IPO as long as you’re not a stuffee or locked up take the shares and play the momentum.
Looks like I will have to vote for Trump. He is pro TikTok.
‘Frankly, there are a lot of people on TikTok that love it,’ he said during an interview on CNBC. ‘There are a lot of young kids on TikTok who will go crazy without it. There are a lot of users, there’s a lot of good and there’s a lot of bad with TikTok.’
‘If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better,’ Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Monday. ‘They are a true Enemy of the People!’
I thought they were the clearly the best in the ECAC in 2024, so beating QPAC isn’t crazy. From what I can see, once it became apparent that they weren’t going to catch #1, and then they were going to get locked into the 2/3 seed, coach took the foot off the gas. They were different across those last few weekends. Schaefer must has decided a month ago to just focus on being last man standing at Lake Placid.

Agree…but have to get through Crimson first…not that they’re good but they do live rent-free in our heads…
So don’t want it “banned,” they just want to steal it.
Well, that is about as American as baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet.
Just as other supporters of the bill have done, Krishnamoorthi insisted the legislation is not a ‘ban’ but forces the sale of TikTok from Chinese state-affiliated ByteDance.
If ByteDance refuses to sell TikTok, app stores and web hosting platforms would not be allowed to distribute it in the U.S.
Phoenix,
That driver looks like a real goomba. Everybody thinks they’re fucking Tony Soprano.
His “Bimmer” attitude is going to result in some jail time. He is lucky he pulled this in Jersey- in Texas his face would look like fresh ground hamburger, as it should.
You think you have money it makes you special. Until you run into the wrong person.

Guess it’s more profitable than dangerous for our children.
Wall Street is buzzing about a TikTok sale as Congress fast-tracks a bombshell bill that would require its China-based owner to unload it – but tech insiders say such a deal faces stiff hurdles, and that the video app’s users should brace for a possible shutdown instead.
A dark-horse contender could be Bobby Kotick. The former Activision CEO has approached ByteDance Executive Chair Zhang Yiming to express interest, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited a person familiar with the situation.
Kotick discussed the possible acquisition while seated with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman during a dinner at an Allen & Co. conference last week, sources told the outlet. The ChatGPT maker could use TikTok to help train its AI models if a partner such as Kotick could raise the massive capital needed to pull off any deal.
The TikTok of today is much larger and more lucrative than it was when Oracle nearly sealed the deal last time, with operating profits reportedly topping $20 billion in 2022.
“At a Meta multiple, that’s $160 billion dollars,” the tech executive added. “Who’s going to buy a $160 billion company? That’s hard.”
Phoenix,
It would’ve been great if the driver in the minivan got out and was built like an offensive linemen. Every time I am on the highway, no matter which one, some d0uchebag is weaving in and out at twice the speed of the traffic. And those dudes on the rice burners are definitely on a death wish.
Eddie,
Fat Bimmer boy who hasn’t seen his junk in 10 years sized up that it was an old Asian man. If not he would have held onto his wallet with both hands.
And the rice burners- they are all kids. They think they will live forever. I’m all good with it unless they hit me. Then my co-workers will just have to re-assemble the parts. I have faith in them.
In further news, I see Oregon is regretting the legalization of drugs as strung-out zombies lay in littered streets amid tent cities, San Francisco plans to ‘get tough’ on lawlessness and the homeless epidemic, Denver is cutting city services while implementing marshalled resources and NYC has military personnel manning the subways. Any questions?
That dude in the Bimmer is why one should keep something…ahem… in their car.
Maybe a three iron? Most people don’t use that club.
12:17 some people can’t handle freedom i suppose.
I always figured weed was/is pretty benign.
The only reason weed was legalized was for the government revenue.
“So don’t want it “banned,” they just want to steal it.”
Not without precedent lol.
Google MSD and Merck KGaA…yeah, those oh-so-scary and mean Germans of 100 years ago…
Or Budweiser Budvar….following the Anschluss and immediately prior to the annexation of most Czech lands…guess the ransom paid to Anheuser Busch was wasted money…
It didn’t matter the pharma company pre-dated the founding of America or that the brewery is from the 13th century (yeah, not a typo).
Americans are spoiled children. Mindlessly shrieking their opinion and feelings until they are placated. And the ‘informed’ children of NJ are the worst. And obnoxiously loudest.
The only reason weed was legalized was for the government revenue.
Absolutely. And now I know people that had no interest in weed talking about their favorite gummies as if it was an ice cream flavor. It wasn’t a good idea to legalize it. And further to the government revenue, why isn’t prostitution legal?
And the ‘informed’ children of NJ are the worst. And obnoxiously loudest.
I want a pony!!
What type of business based in China is 100% owned by a foreign company? Definitely not any social media or any kind of search engine for sure.
I was in the city on Friday night meeting friends for dinner in the East Village. For a change, NJ Transit didn’t screw us. Well, besides the escalators not running in the correct direction in Penn Station, but who would think of doing that?
We walked over to the F at 34th and 6th (Herald Square) and took to 2nd Ave. The number of mentally ill homeless, lurking/living in the subway, is much higher than ever. Now we all know the surge pricing is about increasing ridership on the rails, which are still far from their pre-pandemic levels. But it ain’t happening until they clean up the system. Not only that, I see they added more bike lanes, to more avenues and there seems to be those outdoor dining shacks (and rat nests) in front of every restaurant now. Even with the two or three lanes taking up by this nonsense, the traffic moved regularly the entire time we were there from 7:30PM until 10:30PM. I really think this surge pricing is going to hurt NY in that less people will simply come in from NJ actually causing a greater loss in revenue than the surge pricing will raise. Sorry, but the subways are the scariest I ever remember them being and I remember riding them in the 70’s when they were graffiti covered and the system was in disarray from prior mismanagement.
I will say this. This was the first time I felt kind of old in Manhattan. The city seemed to be filled with noone older than 30 year’s old. I suppose the combination of it being Friday night and the dramatic drop in commuters has made NY much, much younger. Certainly, all of the new restaurants I noticed are skewing more towards the anime-loving/Kpop set.
“Why isn’t prostitution legal?”
They are discussing it in some places already.

Hemp was actually a big threat to the burgeoning Metro-Chemical Corps like DuPont. That is why hemp aka…..weed without the ThC was outlawed. You got polyester, we got homegrown…..

I think legal weed had as much or more to do with the money saved from enforcement, prosecution and prison. Likely more savings than tax revenue.
Umm, no there isn’t left. You can own a tank if you have money, follow all the federal and state regulations. Those onerous restrictions are the only blocker. It is not the definition of arms. I guess it is how you like it. I think it is pretty ridiculous in this day and age.
Hold,
they just convicted Daniel Perry in Texas despite the fact that he had a weapon pointed directly at him while his car was being attacked by multiple people.
I agree on the enforcement end. That and the inordinate amount of really good people, mostly young, who get their lives trashed by law enforcement for something so benign.
Biden teased the whole thing in his state of the union. Which I believe is the first time the old boy has spoke that way, times they are a changing.
As I mentioned earlier, I’m still “on the beach” which as some of you know can kind of do strange things to a person’s psyche. I subbed for a middle school gym class on Friday. 6 classes of those Crazy SOBs. Fun though, I must admit. I led some calisthenics. Hahaha
My sister’s friend from NJ fled Portland as well a few months later. They are now both in Belmar living in a shared apartment. I’m still waiting to see if they both start acting like normal people again.

75 degrees and brilliant sunshine here in southwest FL today. I’d go on and on about the gentle breeze and near zero humidity, but rubbing it in like that would be asking for there to be a swamp in my basement when I get back to NJ in a couple of weeks.
“Umm, no there isn’t left. You can own a tank if you have money, follow all the federal and state regulations. Those onerous restrictions are the only blocker. It is not the definition of arms.”
Please tell me you are not this dense at work as I still have some accounts at your employer and I don’t want to move them due to tech risk arising from incompetence….
What constitutes an armament has been legislated and litigated ad nauseum including under the 2A and other clauses.
FFS there was an ‘assault weapons ban’ under Clinton and the DC handgun ban not to mention everything since including even magazine size. All legislated and litigated.
You want to point me to any recent ‘insurrection’ legislation and Court precedent?
You are clearly an idiot left. Clinton assault ban bill sun-setted 20 years ago. There is no real definition of arms, certainly not codifiable. Go look at Sandy Hook Promise as they are trying to re-implement to assault rifle ban. God, you are insufferably dumb and arrogant.
Come on with the name calling.
I saw the movie Tampopo yesterday. I totally forgot I wanted to see it when I read something about it like 20 or so years ago. It popped up on the list of films that Apple+ recommended I watch, even though it was on another network. Needless to say, what an amazing film (from 1981 I think).
My son, who is home on Spring Break, also got me started on Severance. It’s very Kubrick like so far and it was filmed in Holmdel at that giant Bell Labs building that they converted into a mall and residences.
Fun fact:
Sam and James Walton, founders of Walmart, are worth more than the bottom 40 per cent of the American population combined
3 iron is too light to use as a solid weapon, although it does have the advantage of reach. Most golfers don’t even keep one in the bag anymore. Even the pro’s have gone to hybrids or seven woods.
8 iron is the perfect combination of heft and reach.
“You are clearly an idiot left. Clinton assault ban bill sun-setted 20 years ago. There is no real definition of arms, certainly not codifiable.”
Your logic is so bad it is no wonder you are the Roto-Rooter of the programming world…
Clinton assault weapon ban was challenged all the way up to SCOTUS, including ruling on whether functionally equivalent weapons were exempt under the 14th Amendment (equal protection clause).
The DC handgun ban – hey, professor, see the word HANDGUN, as in a specific type of armament – likewise went to SCOTUS were it was deemed unconstitutional as the Court specifically ruled that handguns were in fact ‘arms’ under the 2A.
So, how large an idiot are you to not understand that legislators have defined and courts of competent jurisdiction have ruled upon the definition of ‘arms’ under the Constitution for decades now?
Back to where this exchange started…your turn now…point me to the legislation defining ‘insurrection’ under the 14A and the recent court rulings on the validity of same.
Your posts are frightening for someone who presumably relies upon scientific logic as an underpinning to your career…explains though why most financial institutions’ IT sucks ass I guess.

Don’t steal American AI tech, and if you do don’t book a one way ticket to Beijing.
Why do these folks always book a one way ticket?
“A federal jury in San Francisco charged the 38-year-old Chinese national, Linwei Ding, with four counts of theft of trade secrets.
A Chinese national who allegedly stole more than 500 files from Google with confidential information on the company’s AI technology has been arrested and charged with stealing trade secrets, according to the Justice Department.
The defendant, former Google employee Linwei Ding, was arrested Wednesday morning in Newark, Calif. The 38-year-old faces four counts of theft of trade secrets. Prosecutors say at the same time that Ding was working for Google and stealing the building blocks of its AI technology, he was also secretly employed by two China-based tech companies.
In Ding’s case, the indictment says the trade secrets he allegedly stole are related to “the hardware infrastructure and software platform that allow Google’s supercomputing data centers to train large AI models through machine learning.
Prosecutors say Ding never informed Google of his ties to either Chinese company, and continued to be employed by Google.
Then in December 2023, court papers say, Google detected Ding trying to upload more files from the company’s network to his personal account while he was in China. Ding allegedly told the company’s investigator that he’d uploaded the files as evidence of his work for Google.
A week after being interviewed by the investigator, Ding allegedly booked a one-way ticket to Beijing. He then sent his resignation letter to Google.”

JFC, I am talking about a clear definition of arms in the Constitution, not the interpretation of arms across circuit courts in various states or cities, impossible to regulate via manufacturing. Like “your right to bear arms includes a single shot bow and/or single shot peashooter or rifle. Have fun with your empty bottles and deer.”
Insurrection? Well we have a demented idiot who attempted it for first time so now is time to put some language in there about organizing a mass event and inciting a crowd to attack Capitol. A “proud” time for the moronic.
I gotta learn how to ride a horse really well. It’ll look great riding up the Capital steps with a raised pitchfork in hand for the Insurrect1on part deux. Maybe it’ll be thundering… what an effect!! Somebody gotta let me know when they’re snapping a picture so I can pose.
BRT
That was in Austin. Not exactly like the rest of Texas. All the witnesses claim the dead guy never pointed his rifle at Perry.
The bimmer driver attacked the guy through the window and then opened the car door. Totally different scenario.
Ed,
I can only pray you will get your chance for Insurrection part 2.
A telemarketer just called me and asked what’s going on. I told her I clogged the toilet. She was speechless so I hung up. Didn’t get to detail my plunger use.
“JFC, I am talking about a clear definition of arms in the Constitution…”
LOL, you have no idea what you are talking about…you snarked me on stating [factually] there is no definition of ‘insurrection’ under 14A nor who is even the Party to determine it. Which, as we all know, SCOTUS just did. You equally snarked [inaccurately] that somehow I derive the definition of ‘arms’ out of thin air…
“…not the interpretation of arms across circuit courts in various states or cities…”
And then with the reading comprehension of a fifth grader you ignored that both examples of ‘arms’ I gave went to SCOTUS, not to local jurisdictions…
Which, BTW, as the same fifth graders know and apparently you do not, on many points the Constitution is constantly interpreted by………wait for it………the SCOTUS. Like, that’s why they exist? Fucking LOL.
Just stop digging already.
I didn’t understand what you meant initially, but now I do.

I think it would be interesting to compare notes on allotment sizes. I’ll share here when I know.

It avoided the definition…stick to day trading”
Yes, you stupid fuck. Is English even your first language?
That’s what I said. You repeating it doesn’t weaken my argument dingus, it supports it.
Me: “there is no definition of ‘insurrection’ under 14A nor who is even the Party to determine it. Which, as we all know, SCOTUS just did.”
SCOTUS from the actual opinion I was referencing: “…the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders…”
You seriously can’t be this dense, you have to be trolling.
you snarked me on stating [factually] there is no definition of ‘insurrection’ under 14A nor who is even the Party to determine it. Which, as we all know, SCOTUS just did*
Reread your statement. You just stated that there was no definition of insurrection but the SCOTUS just did rule on it when in fact it did not Your schtick is old left. Put together some poorly constructed sentences then arrogantly call people stupid or lacking comprehension. I am personally tired of you berating people who simply disagree with opinions.
Eddie you ‘d be better served by roller skates.
Come on fellas. Let’s settle this in a mini pool filled with pudding & bikini clad girl.
