THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER- AUGUST NEWSLETTER EDITION

We are officially in the dog days of summer, and the NYC real estate market is experiencing its typical seasonal slowdown.

Manhattan currently has 737 units for sale, compared with an average of approximately 907. With many New Yorkers taking vacations and enjoying the last unofficial month of summer, inventory has tightened.

Despite this, the overall market remains neutral. Prices have largely plateaued rather than dramatically increasing or declining, while transaction activity continues to fluctuate.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

For sellers: If you're already on the market, evaluate pricing and marketing if you want to be in contract before Labor Day.

For buyers: Late summer seasonality means low competition. Serious sellers are still in the market, creating opportunities for negotiating price and terms.

For renters: Rents continue to rise, and many renters are experiencing "rental fatigue." If you're tired of paying increasingly high rent, it may be worth comparing renting with buying.

For foreign buyers: The U.S. dollar has started recovering from recent lows, making currency movement another factor for international buyers considering U.S. real estate.

NEW DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Recorded sales for new development units have jumped 56.7% from the previous month and 7% from this time last year.

That's a positive uptick in buyers choosing new development over resale.

This month's example: Northern Center in Flushing, Queens.

🎉 JUST SOLD | CENTRAL HARLEM

A 3-bedroom HDFC sold for over asking price!

The property offered great lighting, a new bathroom, proximity to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and convenient access to Columbia and Fordham University.

July Newsletter! The NYC real estate market has entered its annual mid-summer slowdown.

Inventory has dropped as many sellers pause their plans during vacation season, while buyer activity also tends to soften.

For example, Manhattan currently has only 803 apartments available, compared to an expected 1,164 for this time of year.

So what does that mean?

🏡 Sellers
If you're staying on the market through the summer, don't simply wait for buyers to find you. Refresh your listing with updated photos, new video, strategic pricing, and fresh marketing to keep it competitive.

🔑 Buyers
With fewer buyers actively searching, this can be an excellent time to negotiate with motivated sellers.

🏙️ Renters
Rents continue to climb throughout the city. Many prospective buyers are beginning to question whether continuing to rent makes financial sense over the long term.

🌎 International Buyers
If your home currency has strengthened against the U.S. dollar, this could be an attractive time to explore purchasing New York real estate.

Current Market Snapshot:
• 30-year fixed mortgage average: 6.58%
• Manhattan contracts signed: 844
• Brooklyn contracts signed: 558

Are you planning to buy, sell, rent, or simply watch the market until fall? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks Berto for the phenomenal party today at One Domino Square!

What a great way to celebrate all the work you and the attendees have done together.

As an aside- my jaw is still dropped over that wrap-around terrace. 🙂‍↔️
