Hi,
HI,
I hope you are having a great start of 2015 and wish you great health and success for this exciting new year!
2014 has seen several records shattered in many market segments and locations. A recap of the Manhattan Q4 2014 report is bringing new insight about what moved the market over the past 12 months with some perspective on the current level of inventory.
With the upcoming of about 6,500 new units on the market (almost 50% already in contract), I also found it necessary to talk about the concept of New Developments, explain what they are, and which segments of the market they’ll be affecting in the next year.
Finally, Brooklyn’s sellers’ market is becoming more and more challenging to navigate with a highly competitive pool of buyers, increasing prices, low inventories, and only a few New Developments scheduled to hit the market. (Brooklyn Q4 2014 included)
I truly hope that this newsletter will be beneficial and informative while shaping your future real estate plans. Please feel free to contact me should you want to consult on your real estate projects.
Cheers,
A brownstone located 105 St. Marks Avenue in Prospect Height sets the record in this very much sought after Brooklyn’s neighborhood. This house had been listed twice in 2009 ($2.5M) and 2010 ($2.25M), before being listed this February for $2.999M. The house features what buyers are looking for in this kind of real estate: a well preserved townhouse featuring classic parquet floors, authentic period details, and moldings among other things. The house drove a significant amount of activities symbolized by a large amount of offers, and a bidding situation who brought the property to enter into contract just a month after being listed for $3.1M.
