Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Reis, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2008 Results

Conference Call Scheduled for Monday, November 10, 2008 at 2:00 P.M. (EST)

NEW YORK, November 10, 2008: Reis, Inc. (NASDAQ:REIS) (“Reis” or the “Company”) announced its financial results and operational achievements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Results and Performance

Reis presents financial information for its two operating segments: the information services segment, which we refer to as Reis Services, and the Residential Development Activities segment. The Company believes that the utilization of segment reporting will assist investors in analyzing the two separate businesses. For comparison purposes, the Company has included pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which is presented as if the May 30, 2007 merger (the “Merger”) had been consummated between Reis, Inc., then a privately held real estate information company (“Private Reis”), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. (“Wellsford”) as of January 1, 2006.

Consolidated Financial Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company’s consolidated net loss was $(209,110), as compared to net income of $316,566 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $11,563,802 and $19,169,758, respectively. During the 2008 period, revenue was comprised of subscription revenue of $6,524,346 and revenue from sales of residential units of $5,039,456. During the 2007 period, revenue was comprised of subscription revenue of $6,342,711 and revenue from sales of residential units of $12,826,987.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company’s consolidated net income was $1,263,326, as compared to a consolidated pro forma net loss of $(8,820,910) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $39,262,149 (actual) and $43,724,428 (pro forma), respectively. During the 2008 period, revenue was comprised of subscription revenue of $19,440,153 and revenue from sales of residential units of $19,821,996. During the 2007 pro forma period, revenue was comprised of subscription revenue of $17,269,212 and revenue from sales of residential units of $26,455,216.

Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is a tax benefit of $1,165,000, recorded in June 2008, which resulted from a change in estimate of net operating losses allocable for income tax purposes to the fiscal 2007 period subsequent to the Merger.

Reis Services EBITDA

Management uses EBITDA to monitor and assess Reis Services’s performance and believes it is helpful to investors in understanding Reis Services’s business (see Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below). For the three months ended September 30, 2008, EBITDA for the Reis Services segment was approximately $2,965,000, representing a 45.4% EBITDA margin and a 16.0% EBITDA growth rate over third quarter 2007 EBITDA of approximately $2,557,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, EBITDA for the Reis Services segment was approximately $8,515,000, representing a 43.8% EBITDA margin and 43.5% EBITDA growth rate over the nine months 2007 pro forma EBITDA of approximately $5,933,000.

The increase in EBITDA over the comparable 2007 periods is primarily the result of (i) the revenue growth of 2.9% and 12.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30,

2008, respectively, over the 2007 comparable periods, (ii) the effect of a significant portion of the revenue growth translating directly to EBITDA growth as a result of our fixed cost structure (as demonstrated by the increase in EBITDA margin from 40.3% to 45.4% from the third quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2008 and an increase from 34.4% to 43.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (pro forma) to the 2008 period), (iii) as it relates to the nine month comparison, higher expenses in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 2007 as a result of accruals for lease termination and other operational obligations of Private Reis that were not Merger related costs or costs of the merged entities, and (iv) management’s ability to control operating expenses.

Consolidated Balance Sheet Information

At September 30, 2008, Reis had consolidated assets of $131,174,597, including $25,856,621 of cash and cash equivalents, $49,053,129 of consolidated liabilities and consolidated stockholders’ equity of $82,121,468 or $7.48 per common share based upon 10,984,517 shares outstanding. Officers and directors of Reis beneficially own approximately 25% of the common shares outstanding.

Wellsford’s primary operating activities immediately prior to the Merger were the development, construction and sale of three residential projects and its approximate 23% ownership interest in Private Reis. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s equity in its remaining real estate assets was approximately $13,183,000 (or 16.1% of consolidated stockholders’ equity).

Operational Highlights

Following are recent operational highlights for Reis:

·   In October 2008, launched Transaction Analytics™, a tool that empowers commercial real estate investors and portfolio managers to identify sales and capital markets trends that are directly impacting the value of their assets;

·   Introduced coverage in August 2008 of an additional 30 metropolitan office markets, concentrated in the Northeast and Midwest, resulting in 50 markets being added to this sector in 2008;

·   Reduced the interest rate spread over LIBOR an additional 0.5% on the Reis Services Bank Loan to 1.50%, which is the lowest rate allowable under that credit agreement;

·   Reduced construction debt by $7,952,000 from the December 31, 2007 balance to $5,431,000 at September 30, 2008, which reduction includes the retirement of the Gold Peak construction debt in the third quarter;

·   Reduced our liquidity requirement to $4,651,000 at September 30, 2008;

·   Continued sales at our Gold Peak project towards our goal of a complete sell-out by the end of the first quarter of 2009 with an aggregate of 232 sales closed at September 30, 2008, including 12 and 47 sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008;

·   Sold eight partially improved lots at our East Lyme project to a regional homebuilder in September 2008 and sold one and six homes in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively; and

·   Completed model homes and infrastructure at our Claverack project.

Unsolicited Offers and Board Rejections

On August 13, 2008, Reis’s board of directors rejected, for a second time, a proposal by CoStar to acquire the Company for $8.75 per share in cash.  In the view of the board, the price offered in the CoStar proposal was inadequate as it was below the long-term value Reis could realize for its stockholders by the pursuit of its business as an independent entity and the continued disposition of its real estate assets, or by an organized sale

2

of the Company.  CoStar made its initial unsolicited offer, also at $8.75 per share in cash, on June 5, 2008, which was rejected by the board on June 30, 2008. On October 30, 2008, CoStar publicly announced on its quarterly conference call that it was formally withdrawing its offer.

Basis of Accounting

The previously announced plan of liquidation of the Company was terminated as a result of the Merger and the Company returned to the going concern basis of accounting from the liquidation basis of accounting. For accounting purposes, the Merger was deemed to have occurred at the close of business on May 31, 2007 and the statements of operations include the operations of Reis Services effective June 1, 2007.

Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment losses on real estate assets under development and stock based compensation. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, senior management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure operational and management performance. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate metrics that may be used by investors as supplemental financial measures to be considered in addition to the reported GAAP basis financial information to assist investors in evaluating and understanding the Company’s business from year to year or period to period, as applicable. Further, these measures provide the reader with the ability to understand our operational performance while isolating non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as other non-operating items, such as interest income, interest expense and income taxes, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, isolates non-cash charges for impairment losses on real estate assets under development and stock based compensation. Management also believes that disclosing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will provide better comparability to other companies in Reis Services’s type of business. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, follow for each identified period:

Revenue was stable from the second quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2008.  Historically, Reis Services has been able to grow revenue through new business as well as contract price increases in connection with renewals.  Therefore, revenue increases are dependent to some extent upon the timing of contract renewals.  Reis Services has historically experienced higher revenue during the second half of any calendar year because a greater number of our contracts have renewed, coupled with contract price increases, in the second half of each year.

Our largest customer accounted for 2.4% of Reis Services’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our 25 largest customers in the aggregate accounted for 32.3% of Reis Services’s revenue in that period.

During the third quarter of 2008, contract price increases on renewal were constrained due to usage reductions at some large customers as well as budgetary pressures at our customers in the banking, investment and real estate industries. Contract renewal pricing is based on a number of factors, including historical and projected usage.

4

Although we generally impose contractual restrictions limiting our immediate exposure to revenue reductions due to mergers and consolidations and our pricing model is based on actual and projected usage, we may be impacted by future consolidation among our customers and potential customers, as a result of their reduced usage or greater bargaining power, or in the event that customers enter bankruptcy or otherwise go out of business.

Despite the current dislocations in the financial markets, overall report usage has remained constant over the first three quarters of 2008. Further, our overall renewal rate during the first nine months of 2008 was 92%, with a higher rate among our institutional customers. Reis Services continues to work to retain customers by emphasizing the value of Reis SE, highlighting its ability to assist in risk analysis and management, as well as transaction support.

Another factor contributing to a flattening in revenues in the third quarter of 2008 is the fact that a number of customers have been moved to longer term contracts of up to 36 months, which provides stability and spreads renewals more evenly across the year, but also removes an opportunity to increase revenue from that contract until the new renewal date.  In addition, as noted in our September 2007 Form 10-Q, revenues in the third quarter of 2007 were positively impacted by additional special project and consulting work. This amount was approximately $244,000 greater than the amount recorded in the third quarter of 2008. If we compared total revenue in the aggregate for these two periods without the variance related to revenue from special project and consulting work, the growth in our primary subscription business would have been $425,000, or 7.2%. Special project and consulting work for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, in excess of the comparable 2008 period was approximately $291,000. If we compared total revenue in the aggregate for the 2008 and 2007 year to date periods excluding special project and consulting work, the growth in our primary subscription business would have been to $2,462,000, or 14.9%.

Residential Development Activities

At September 30, 2008, the Company’s residential development activities and other investments were comprised primarily of the following:

• The 259 unit Gold Peak condominium development in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.  Sales commenced in January 2006 and 232 Gold Peak units were sold as of September 30, 2008, with an additional six units under contract with nominal down payments.

• The Orchards, a single family home development in East Lyme, Connecticut, upon which the Company could build 161 single family homes on 224 acres. Sales commenced in June 2006 and an aggregate of 33 homes and lots (25 homes and eight lots) were sold as of September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, there were no East Lyme homes under contract and four homes, including the model, were either in inventory or substantially complete.

• The Stewardship, a single-family home development in Claverack, New York, which is subdivided into 48 developable single-family home lots on 235 acres.

(A)	In September 2008, the Company completed the sale of eight partially improved lots, in a single transaction, to a regional homebuilder for $900,000. All of the transaction proceeds were used to partially repay the project’s construction loan.

On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into a listing agreement authorizing a broker to sell the remaining lots at East Lyme (which are comprised of improved lots with road and infrastructure in place and unimproved lots without road and infrastructure in place). In addition, the Company has made the decision to halt any new home construction pending exploration of a bulk sale of lots at East Lyme. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell the remaining lots at East Lyme at acceptable prices, or within a specific time period, or at all.

About Reis

The Company was formed through a May 2007 merger between Private Reis and Wellsford.  Reis carries on the businesses of Private Reis and Wellsford.

Private Reis was founded in 1980 as a provider of commercial real estate market information.  Reis maintains a proprietary database containing detailed information on commercial real properties in neighborhoods and metropolitan markets throughout the U.S.  The database contains information on apartment, retail, office and industrial properties and is used by real estate investors, lenders and other professionals to make informed buying, selling and financing decisions. In addition, Reis data is used by debt and equity investors to assess and quantify the risks of default and loss associated with individual mortgages, properties, portfolios and real estate backed securities. Reis currently provides its information services to many of the nation’s leading lending institutions, equity investors, brokers and appraisers.

Reis’s flagship product is Reis SE, which provides online access to information and analytical tools designed to facilitate both debt and equity transactions.  In addition to trend and forecast analysis at neighborhood and metropolitan levels, the product offers detailed building-specific information such as rents, vacancy rates and lease terms, property sale information, new construction listings and property valuation estimates.  Reis SE is

6

 designed to meet the demand for timely and accurate information to support the decision-making of property owners, developers and builders, banks and non-bank lenders, and equity investors, all of whom require access to information on both the performance and pricing of assets, including detailed data on market transactions, supply and absorption. This information is critical to all aspects of valuing assets and financing their acquisition, development, and construction.

For more information regarding Reis’s products and services, visit www.reis.com.

Prior to the Merger, Wellsford was a public company operating as a real estate merchant banking firm which acquired, developed, financed and operated real properties and invested in private real estate companies. The Company’s primary operating activities immediately prior to the Merger were the development, construction and sale of its three residential projects and its approximate 23% ownership interest in Private Reis. The Company continues to develop, construct and sell these remaining residential projects in an effort to ultimately exit this business in order to focus solely on the Reis Services business.
