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.

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

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

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.

The Future of Work, “Fleeing New York” and other thoughts on the Future

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

I think WE all are watching the implosion of We(Work) with curiosity. Beyond their chief co-working offering, I found the educational experiment of WeGrow fairly interesting, and my limited experience with Adam Neumann and his wife Rebekah, who were fellow parents at my school for a year, gave me some insight into what they wereRead more

The New Mansion Tax

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | April 19, 2019 | 0

The 1st quarter of 2019 was a big dud. Though prices increased on average in the first quarter, it was “solely due to a jump in luxury new development closings, including a record-setting $240 million sale. The average price for just resale apartments was 3% lower than a year ago, as price adjustments continue atRead more

The Randomness of Real Estate

Let’s Talk Buyers Getting buyers get educated and confident about the market is my number one job. I do a deep dive with homebuyers to understand who they are and what they’re looking for. I get to know them, their dog(s), their kids, watching them bicker, argue, joke, yell- at me, at each other. TheyRead more

What Makes Your Home a Home? VIDEO February 2019

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | February 25, 2019 | 0

This month, I take a look at a pristine property in the West Village and think about what home means to people. We continue to brand our listings in this way, just as we “brand” our buyers as we help them find their perfect home. In the midst of our deep thinking, we’re marketing aRead more

Today, I’ll talk about 1031 exchanges briefly, then move into the “hottest” new thing that generated from the tax changes at the end of 2017. This is the Qualified Opportunity Zone. The investments in these zones, which exist in every state in the US, must happen before the end of 2019. I’ve done a deeperRead more
