VIDEO- Sometimes It’s Really Just Pricing

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | February 26, 2020 | 0

In this month’s video, I continue to muse on what seems to be driving the market into higher sales volume.  The very short answer?  Pricing.  That’s it.  If prices look to be “in the zone,” people make bids.  If prices seem to be too high, no offers.  Tumbleweeds.  So the question is this, sellers:  DoRead more

Baby Boomers and Their Unloved Houses

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | December 2, 2019 | 0

I love this article. It covers so much of what interests me, at the intersection of culture and real estate. Where people want to live; urban vs suburban; how people want to live; experiences vs things; generational change; what stays the same; investing in the city vs the suburbs. I have a number of clientsRead more

VIDEO: Marketing Real Estate to Women

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | November 27, 2019 | 0

In This Month’s Video I discussed the missed opportunity in New York, that is ignoring more than half of the population here. That is, women! Women are buying properties for themselves. No one is waiting anymore to get married to buy real estate, least of all so many successful women. This includes our many amazingRead more

No…not that TV show. With a love of making fun of myself, a curiosity in exploring the New York City real estate market in more depth, and a variety of ways to present what Visionary Brokerage is all about, I’ve accepted the opportunity to be a part of American Dream NYC. American Dream is aRead more

VIDEO: Is it EVER About Timing The Market?

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | October 31, 2019 | 0

Buyers usually show two sides: The homebuyer side and the analytical side. Usually, it’s the homebuyer side that shows the truth. A buyer is trying to move forward in her life, for any number of reasons. Time to expand, time to downsize, and everything in between. Home is open, excited, and ready to find what’sRead more

Broker Fatigue & Buyer Opportunity

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | October 30, 2019 | 0

I’ve written about how buyers have gotten a bit accustomed to TV shows, where every house in Waco, Texas looks like a West Elm catalog. In the case of New York City, buyers have started to see more, more, and more staged apartments. West Elm Goes to Texas The expectation then becomes that every apartmentRead more

“The Producers” Off-Off Broadway (on 87th Street)?

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | October 30, 2019 | 0

I haven’t been writing as much on new development of late. In this case, I wanted to think through what buying in a particular new building would look like if you decided, from the building, that you would be buying as an investor. In this case, after five years, the math could work so thatRead more

VIDEO: When You Bring Your Family To Your New Apartment

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | September 26, 2019 | 0

One of my favorite times is when my customers, aka my homebuyers, bring their families to see their new apartment for the first time. Of course, some buyers bring a consensus-building approach to their purchases, bringing lots of family members to the property before they choose to proceed. Many others, however, leave their families outRead more

Renter, Buyers: The Things People Are Saying and How to Handle Listings

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | September 26, 2019 | 0

Conventional Wisdom would see things this way: If the sales market is strong, the rental market should be weak. If the sales market is weak, the rental market should then be strong. Most of the time, it looks that way. And right now, it would appear, by most metrics, that the sales market is softer,Read more

Market Perceptions, Market Realities

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | August 27, 2019 | 0

It’s that time of the summer when buyers are particularly tuned out from, well, most things. So, it’s not entirely surprising to get “please update me” questions about the real estate market. What seems odd is the question I’m getting quite often right now: “Do you expect the real estate market to drop 15-20% ifRead more
