BUCKLE UP January just went ‘woosh and outta here!’ 2017 was a very busy year for all 5 NYC boroughs and 2018 promises to be even more eventful. An increase in Gentrification may be the #1 reason NYC’s populace continues to rise. As nationwide foreclosures increase, Bronx championed 2017 with the highest rate. More and more investors are floading the market, transforming single family homes into multi-units. Rezoning is a hot topic. Prices for both Sales and Rentals keep jumping. Plus your Tax exemptions are over 50% for Sales transactions. I bet your monthly payments are equal to or less than your rent. Think about it. The stigma for location has lost its grasp, and now is a really good time to join forces with your family and/ friends to invest in Real Estate rather than just banking or stock options. Make sure to get an attorney. The returns are definitely higher. Call me for a free consultation.

NYC FORMER HIGHLIGHTS….


Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr. on managing gentrification in the Bronx (12/2017) https://ny.curbed.com/2017/12/27/16821946/nyc-real-estate-architecture-experts-2017-in-review
“This year, we were able to pass ‘Right to Counsel’ legislation that will guarantee tenants access to an attorney in housing court. This will help level the playing field and prevent eviction and displacement.”




Manhattan Total Listings (12/2017)
https://www.citihabitats.com/new-york-real-estate-market-reports

December sales activity declined to its lowest level since 2012, with condo activity dropping 24%, and co-op activity dropping 8%. Changes in pricing metrics, however, were mixed. Condo average and median price grew, while co-op median price increased slightly, and average price dropped 24%. Listed inventory continued the trend of annual increases, as both condos and co-ops saw annual gains. Days on market increased across both product types over the last year, but gains were much higher amongst condos, at 30%. Negotiability remained almost the same for co-ops. Condos, however, saw a larger difference from last ask to sale, as average discount from last ask reached 3.3% this month, as compared to 2.5% last year.

Brooklyn and Queens markets slow down, but prices remain near record highs (12/2017)
