Williamsburg | Fred M. On Real Estate

Hi,

Finally! Spring has arrived with a blooming enthusiasm from home hunters taking on their search for a new nest and hoping for more inventories to hit the market. These hopes seem realistic at first since the market is moving ahead from a month of February 2015 that recorded a new historical low level of inventory with only half the number of condos than the pre-2008 average. However, the demand for housing has not decelerated, keeping high the challenges to buy a property in New York.

In this Q1 2015 Newsletter and moving forward, both Manhattan and Brooklyn are getting their equal share of market snapshots and reports, with a new format of the Corcoran Market reports.

This Newsletter highlights the dynamic of key real estate metrics and bring them in parallel with the economic and demographic activities that have been and keeps contributing to the emancipation of New York City.

I wish you a great Spring season and welcome your Real Estate questions.

Cheers,

Q1 2015 Newsletter

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,
