This month Scott discusses the state of the market just as we enter the second busiest time of the year: The Fall Season. Where are we? Will either buyers or sellers win out this Fall? Powered by OpenReelRead more

As I’m writing this, we remain in the middle of a full-fledged seller’s market, not to mention a lovely summer – barring the last couple of muggy days. Just as geographically regional clothing style (or regionality in general) seems to be fading, as information transmits more quickly than ever, so, too, am I reading articlesRead more

For this month’s eye candy, I am excited to have a development in the area where I focus a lot of my business – the Upper West Side. So here we go – enjoy! 360 Central Park West The Upper West Side, Manhattan Valley, and Morningside Heights, from 96th Street to 116th Street, have beenRead more

I was travelling last month and there hasn’t been a lot of new development debut in the last few weeks, so I have but one review for you. It’s a stunner! 220 Central Park South. I want to write not only about that, though, but also a few thoughts about what’s happening along 57th StreetRead more

As regular readers of the Harris New York newsletter/blog may know, my love of running has taken me all over New York City. I’ve written about my runs here, there, and everywhere – even to New Jersey (gasp!). New Orleans, Dallas, Coney Island. Very recently, my running even took me to the East 70’s, toRead more

In honor of Dave Letterman’s recent last show, I thought I’d present this month’s market thoughts as a Top 10. Certainly he was the initiator, at least three decades ago, of this format – it has become a cliché, but what a nice way to organize things! Another ( we hope) final Top 10. ARead more

Two buildings, also designed by Ralph Walker, have come to market since, each featuring a combination of marvelous detail and Art Deco majesty that was apparently reservedRead more

(by Elaine Ely) The condominium conversion of 175 West 95th Street is a well-scaled project tucked into the Northeast corner of Amsterdam and 95th Street, joining the developing bridge between South Harlem and the UWS that includes the Whole Foods complex around the corner. The developers have moved the entrance of the 226-unit rental buildingRead more

As I discussed in my new development post – 2014 was a year in which the divergence between new development and the resale market was wide enough that breaking apart their sales numbers makes sense. When three bedroom and larger condominium sales appear to be up 31% year over year vs. 7% for coops, there’sRead more

I had the pleasure of seeing a number of new developments in the past few weeks, too many to cover in one blog post. Today, I’ll cover 498 West End and 45 East 22nd Street, incredibly different properties, but not necessarily appealing to different buyers. Both are in prime locations, 84th and West End, andRead more
