On page 14 it shows a graph of historical apartment vacancy since 2003, while development slowed the market was never flooded.On page 11 shows stats for office vacancy, supply, and and absorption.

While a sealer will help to protect concrete from stain absorption, it's still a good idea to remove oil, gasoline, grease and other spills as soon as possible.

All one had to do was follow the economic history of GM, Ford and Chrysler and you would have had a lot of warning before Detroit went bankrupt.The other parts of of the program focused on putting together all of this into an Excel Spreadsheet with assumptions on the future 10 years such as why use 3% versus 6% appreciation Rate, what will be the cash flows if rents increased 3% while expenses increased 5% annually for the remaining 10 years, what will be the Mortgage Balance at the end of 10 years, etc.The beginning of each class started out with me asking questions to assess the absorption of the previous classes information.

Failing to keep that absorption at relative levels to where they are/were would mean inventory stacking up and then downward pressure on values and prices.  

For the insulation my understanding is rock wool has the best sound absorption but I have not used it for this.

I hired a feasibility consultant and have paid for a demand/absorption rate study. 

While these towns currently have a relatively healthy absorption rate, be weary of towns such as Southbridge, Spencer, and Webster as they are colder markets with a less desirable tenant base.  

Just look at new construction permits, completions, and absorption rates. 

-Are there any market conditions with regards to saturation/absorption?

Homosote aka "soundboard" is good for one thing only when it comes to sound absorption, and that's for impact noise like footsteps.
