Project Experience:
Real Estate Market Analysis
​
Market analysis is one of the cornerstones of our analysis services. A market analysis helps a developer fine tune the assumptions in their pro forma and helps an investor or city agency vet development feasibility. It assesses supply, demand, and the greater competitive marketplace to help characterize needs, constraints, and opportunity to develop new product and support the needs of particular constituencies. JS&A has completed dozens of market studies for all land use types, helping developers understand future market demand, current and proposed competitive supply, and how to position their project in order to capitalize on market opportunity. In addition to market-rate projects, JS&A also specializes in projects that are income restricted, age restricted, and utilize local and Federal subsidies.
