Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of East Lansing (City) is seeking proposals from a qualified firm for a comprehensive study of housing in and adjacent to the City borders. The City desires more information about our current housing market, especially the impacts of recent developments on housing demand in our area. We also seek to answer some fundamental questions regarding projected trends to help us understand the current conditions and assist in the future planning of the City in line with our policy goals. A successful proposal will be made by an experienced research entity that has demonstrated success in executing complex housing studies of a similar nature in other communities in the Midwest, especially other communities that have a significant university presence. The project will provide benchmark data and insights intended to be intrinsically useful and also lead to future phases of tracking and analysis.
