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

Lessons Learned from a Month of Facebook Live

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

After 10 years of keeping a monthly newsletter, I have discovered that I still quite like sharing what I’m learning about the real estate market, or from my travels around New York City and the world. I’ve written about running, new developments, the good and bad behavior of agents, companies, apps, ideas, renovations, you nameRead more

Exclusive News Here- Scott and the Harris Residential Team are Going on TV!

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | November 12, 2019 | 0

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

“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

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

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

VIDEO: Do You Have What It Takes to Renovate? (BTW, you do)

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

Probably 95% of what I do is empower buyers and sellers to move forward in their lives. Real estate remains the most tangible expression of who they are. And what is more tangible than doing a renovation exactly how you want to do it? And yet- this can be incredibly daunting. You need patience andRead 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

VIDEO: Why Everyone Thinks They Are Brilliant

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

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. I’m thinking about how mortgage rates are likely to come down, inventory is slightly up in most places, and prices are slightly down from a yearRead more

The Beginning of a Co-op Trend?

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

Sellers of cooperative apartments who are seeing their properties linger are wondering what they can do. You can take a look at our reports here and here for a bit more color about inventory and the market. I can point out a few trends which hurt the resale prospects of older, less renovated properties: BuyerRead more
