Not all Central Park views are created equal. 🌳
In this week’s Monday Market Minute, Deanna takes a closer look at what a Central Park view can really mean for the value of a Manhattan apartment. From floor height and window placement to how much of the Park you can see, and how many rooms enjoy the view, there are many variables that can make a significant difference.
Deanna illustrates these nuances from one of her beautiful listings at 128 Central Park South, Apartment 12A, where the height and a dramatic picture window provide an expansive view across the Park.
When it comes to valuing a view, it’s not simply whether you can see Central Park, it’s what you see, how you see it, and how much of it you see.
Watch this week’s Monday Market Minute to learn more.

One of Deanna’s favorite layouts in the Orwell House, this sun-filled corner two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 257 Central Park West has so much to love.
With three exposures, beautiful city views, oblique views of Central Park, gracious proportions and wonderful original prewar details, the apartment has an elegance that is both timeless and incredibly livable. The corner living room is especially impressive, with two exposures, high ceilings and plenty of space for both comfortable living and formal entertaining.
Located in one of Central Park West’s distinguished white-glove cooperatives, residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a fitness center, storage, bike storage, resident parking and one of the most impressive roof decks overlooking the Park. The prime location is superb.

Extreme heat is changing the way New Yorkers think about real estate.
Deanna Kory explains that air conditioning has become a major concern for many apartment buyers, particularly as New York experiences increasingly hot summers. In many prewar and landmarked buildings, central air was never part of the original design, making upgrades more complicated and potentially costly.
At the same time, older air-conditioning systems that rely on refrigerants such as R-22 are being phased out, meaning some buildings and homeowners will eventually need to replace or modernize their systems.
For buyers, the question is no longer simply whether an apartment has air conditioning—but what kind of system it has, how old it is, and what upgrading it could cost.

In this week’s Monday Market Minute, Deanna talks about her newly released Fall Newsletter, which provides an analysis of Manhattan real estate market, but also the current trends, and what buyers and sellers should be aware of heading into the fall.

One important trend this year: the contract process is taking longer than it traditionally has. Deals often require more information and documentation from buildings, managing agents, attorneys and other parties. It is important for both buyers and sellers to understand the process—and have realistic expectations about the time it can take.
Knowing what to expect can make all the difference in navigating a transaction smoothly.

🍂 Our Fall Newsletter is here!

As Manhattan heads into one of its most important—and often shortest—selling seasons, we’re taking a closer look at where the market stands, where it’s headed, and what sellers should be thinking about now.

Inside, we break down the year so far, the opportunities and potential challenges ahead, and the trends we believe matter most when deciding when to list, how to prepare your property, and how to price it strategically.

We’re also sharing some of the resources we’ve developed to help our sellers get the most out of today’s market—including The Art of Strategic Staging, our Seller’s Guide, and DEKai, our new AI-powered marketing system designed to help us identify the right buyers and maximize exposure for every property we represent.

The Manhattan market is always evolving. The key is knowing how to read it—and having the right strategy in place.

The fall real estate market can be a short window, but it can also present some great opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
While the market doesn’t typically begin to heat up until late September and into October, there’s plenty to think about now. For sellers, preparation is key. For buyers, a more focused market can create opportunities to find the right property and negotiate strategically. In this week’s Monday Market Minute, Deanna takes a look at the potential and the challenges for the fall market and why timing could matter more than ever.

New York’s new pied-à-terre tax is raising plenty of questions, and what it could mean for the Manhattan real estate market is still very much TBD.
In this week’s Monday Market Minute, Deanna shares her perspective on what she’s seeing and hearing from buyers and sellers so far. This isn’t a deep dive into the complicated details of the tax, but rather an on-the-ground look at the conversations happening in the market and what, if anything, may be changing.
It’s still too early to know the broader impact, but Deanna weighs in on what she’s seeing right now.

In this week’s blog, Deanna Kory explores how townhouse owners can maximize value ahead of the Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 markets—from understanding a property’s true market value and making strategic improvements to staging, presentation, pricing, and timing. Because with a townhouse, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy. The right preparation can make a meaningful difference in how a property is positioned, how buyers respond, and ultimately, the results of the sale.

If you’re considering selling, starting early gives you the advantage of time—and thoughtful strategy.

From strategic staging and decluttering to painting, making repairs, gathering documents, and choosing the right agent, the preparation you do today can make all the difference when your property hits the market.
