In this week’s Monday Market Minute, Deanna shares one of the major forces driving demand at the very top of the market: the tremendous wealth being created by the technology and AI sectors. While AI is still in its early stages, it is already generating significant capital, not only for tech founders, but also for the venture capital firms, investment banks, and surrounding industries fueling its growth.
Watch as Deanna explains how this new wave of wealth is influencing luxury real estate and what it means for Manhattan buyers and sellers.

Monday Market Minute with Deanna Kory 🏙️

One of the biggest misconceptions about buying property in NYC is that you only need a small down payment.

In reality, co-ops often have strict financial requirements. Many buildings require at least 25% down, some require 30–35%, and certain luxury co-ops only allow all-cash purchases. Although co-ops are shares in a corporation, they are still treated like real property, meaning buyers can usually finance and receive tax deductions.

Condos and townhouses are generally more flexible. Most buyers put around 20% down, but financing terms depend on both the bank and the seller. While higher financing is possible in some cases, it is much less common in New York City.

Understanding the differences between co-ops, condos, and townhouses is an important first step before entering the NYC market.

As we near the end of spring, a familiar pattern is emerging once again: buyers who have spent months searching are finally ready to make decisions. Homes that sat quietly are suddenly receiving offers, multiple bids are returning, and momentum is building as the season comes to a close. In this week’s blog, Deanna shares why contract activity tends to surge at the end of each season, how buyer psychology plays a major role, and what both buyers and sellers should keep in mind as we head into summer. If you’ve been watching the market closely (as a buyer or seller)—or wondering whether to make a move now or wait—this is a pattern worth paying attention to.
