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

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 summer is a time to recharge the batteries. In the case of the Manhattan and Brooklyn markets, it may also be a time to get really amazing deals.

Social Media, FOMO & The Real Estate Market

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | July 29, 2019 | 0

A big question. How has social media affected real estate purchases? Are there positive impacts? Negative ones? Both? On one hand, I hear stories about how Facebook is helping realtors do business, Instagram helping us promote what we’re up to, spreading the word, quite effectively, with very beautiful photographs. I do get to see absolutelyRead more

Does a Stronger Rental Market Imply a Stronger Near-Term Sales Market?

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | May 29, 2019 | 0

I began my real estate career working at Citi Habitats, focused on rentals. It was trial by fire, and there couldn’t have been a better training ground for someone who had never worked in residential real estate. I saw 80-100 apartments per week, whether previewing them, showing them to prospective renters, and managing the hustleRead 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

If you ask sellers, you may hear that the real estate market is horrible If you ask the New York Times, you may hear that the real estate market is capable of producing BOTH horrible results AND the highest sales prices ever in the history of the United States. If you ask buyers, you willRead more
