Jonathan Miller, CEO of the appraisal firm Samuel Miller addressed the concessions hitting many of the units in the city recently.  He was quoted in TheRealDeal stating the following indicating that concessions would not be going away: “With the supply continuing to enter all these markets, it’s seemingly every month or every few months, there’s a new record set for the market share of concessions that are being offered,” he said.“With the influx of new developments continuing unabated, I think this market characteristic is going to be sticking around for a while.”
