  • Manhattan Market Overview: Quarterly
    Our quarterly survey of the Manhattan real estate market gives you up-to-the-minute, proprietary data not available anywhere else. We report on four market segments--co-ops, condos, luxury properties and lofts. For each of these, we break out statistics by apartment size and show the average sales price, the price per square foot and the number of sales for the quarter. The Overview also compares the latest statistics to those from the previous quarter and the previous year, to give you an idea of emerging market trends.
  • Brooklyn Market Overview: Quarterly
    Our Brooklyn overview analyzes the overall Brooklyn market as well as by region and property type, which includes co-ops, condos, 1-3 family homes, new development, re-sales and luxury housing. Comparisons against prior quarters and between years capture the immediate and historical trends in this market.

    Maximizing Your Home's Potential For Sales
    SIMPLE CHANGES CAN IMPACT HOW QUICKLY YOUR PROPERTY SELLS AND AT WHAT PRICE

    Many cosmetic changes can be made with minimal time and expense. Buyers will be comparing your property to competing properties. So here are a few practical tips to help yours stand out above the rest.

    Unclutter
    Eliminating clutter will make your property feel larger and brighter. If your property is uncluttered and neutral, prospective buyers can explore it comfortably and envision it with their own personal touches.

    Repair
    Making certain repairs will present your property in a more positive light to prospective buyers, and can also add to its value. If you think something is too much trouble to fix, chances are buyers will too.

    Clean
    Presenting a clean home to a buyer shows them the home has been valued and well cared for.
