If you have a real need to buy and you find the right property, utilize this slow period for any leverage you can get in negotiations — you never know when a seller has had enough, and is ready to hit that bid."
The fourth quarter of the 2017 real estate market in Manhattan is one best described as stable, with the last three out of four quarters showing an increase in closed sales activity. 2017 was a much better year than 2016, although there has been a marked drop in the number of signed contracts in the quarter year-over-year that can be primarily attributed to non-market factors such as tax reform and political climate.
Read MoreWhen a foreign buyer is looking for Manhattan real estate for sale, one of their biggest concerns is ensuring they’re truly seeing the properties that are the best fit for them. In such a vast market, with so many properties listed and sold each day, a foreign buyer wants the confidence that their broker is directing their attention to the right opportunities, and has the connections and abilities to seek them out. If you’re considering buying property in Manhattan, but don’t live inside the United States, here are some search tactics you and a broker can use to help you find the perfect property from abroad.
Read MoreBuying residential property in another country can be intimidating, but with the right broker partner, foreign citizens buying property in the United States have little to worry about. Foreign citizens are legally allowed to buy residential property in the United States, but they will have to follow certain tax rules both in the US and possibly in their home nations. Just because a buyer is a nonresident doesn’t automatically mean they must pay additional taxes. Some of these taxes might even be paid by a U.S. citizen, too, under certain circumstances. Here’s the US property tax specifics that foreign and luxury buyers need to be aware of when shopping for homes in Manhattan and Miami.

Comprised of about 25% condos, 70% co-operatives (co-ops), and 5% townhouses, the population and metropolitan style of Manhattan means there aren’t many single-family homes for sale on the island. No matter whether you’re an investor looking to make income off your property purchase, or a new resident hoping to find a forever home, you’ll want to know what types of property are available to you. Below is a breakdown of the Manhattan market to help you get a sense of the city’s many offerings.
Read MoreIf you are living outside the U.S. but considering a move stateside, you’re actually in luck. The housing market in the United States is extraordinarily friendly and convenient to any foreign persons who want to invest in property throughout the country. The American government doesn’t maintain restrictions or charge hidden fees, such as extra stamp duties, to a non-citizen seeking out a home or smart property investment in the country. In fact, the experience of home buying in the U.S. may not differ too wildly from the experience in your home country. That being said, there are four rules any foreign investor needs to keep in mind as they begin their search for property in the United States.

Read MoreThe Manhattan Real Estate Market median and average sales price, as well as the average price per square foot, reached the highest levels recorded in 27 years in Q4 2015. The resale market remained tight with low inventory, fast pace and rising prices. New development closings are on the rising as well. While many regions are suffering enormous instability, NYC, in contrast, is one of the last bastions of stability. In 2015, Manhattan saw record job growth and the highest number of people employed in history. We expect similar market conditions to carry over into 2016.

Read MoreWhile 432 Park is over 70% sold out, the tony New York City Condo building has been having a hard time selling its high, full floor apartments. It's no wonder that they remain unsold, since full floor units at 432 Park measure over 8,000 square feet, enormous for New York City condos. And, since they are on some of the highest floors, very expensive as well (close to $80 million).
Read MoreWith land, development and construction costs clocking in at $5,000 per square foot, no wonder why prices at 220 Central Park South in NY are breaking records. While one would think high prices and related costs would be an impediment to sales activity, the Real Deal states that the building is more than 50% sold, despite not being open to the public just yet. We are not surprised, having seen all the details of the project with a few of our clients at the makeshift showroom.

Read MoreWe have been obsessed with Zaha Hadid’s first New York Luxury Condo project, located along the High Line at 520 W 28 Street, ever since we first heard about it a few years ago. Zaha Hadid, the only female Pritzker Prize winner, is one of the most talked about architects in the world, having a very distinctive personal design aesthetic that eschews typical rectangles and squares that define most architecture. Inside and out, the space-age building in West Chelsea features organic shapes that result in a very attractive and one-of-a-kind design; even much of the glass curtain wall has rounded corner glass details.
Read MoreThe Manhattan real estate market continues to be very strong. Prices are up 7% from one year ago, with the average condo selling for $1,589 per sq. ft. and luxury condos selling for $2,551 per square foot. Buyers, however, continue to have a difficult time finding properties, as inventory remains low. This forced a 13% decline in sales activity of condos. Had there been more properties for sale, sales activity would have been much higher. We see the trend of low inventory continuing, even as more new development comes on the market.

Two full floor units have sold, this one and another one that should be closing soon. For $19.75 million the buyer purchased the 43rd floor, which has over 4,500 square feet. Now, the building is 71% sold and there are only 17 units left raging in sizes and prices from $3,800 to $8,128 per square foot according to Streeteasy.com.
Read MoreThe Manhattan condo market results for Q1 2015 are in and the results were quite positive, setting the tone for a good 2015. During the quarter, Manhattan had the highest number of sales for any first quarter in over 6 years and closed sales increased 12% vs. the same period in 2014. Inventory tightened further, as days on the market dropped. The market continues to be undersupplied, but 2015 may bring some relief in terms of new development. However, with activity so high - buyers signed contracts at a record pace in the quarter for properties priced over $4 million during the quarter – we believe 2015 will still be a seller’s market.

As we get closer to the launch, more info is now available about the project. For one, the height is going to be 1,428 feet tall, which is considerably higher than its neighbor One57, which is 1,005 feet tall. This will make it one of the tallest in NYC, however, it will be a bit shorter than 217 West 57 Street, which is anticipated to come in at 1,500 feet tall.
Read MoreWe see the Financial Times is catching up to what has been happening in Manhattan’s ultra-luxury segment. And, while they are correct in that there will be a lot of New York ultra luxury homes coming to the Midtown / 57th Street corridor, long-term demand for this sliver of the market should remain quite high if the projected increase in global Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) has anything to do with it.

Read MoreNYC luxury real estate has been heating up, despite the sub-freezing temperatures that marked February 2015 as the coldest February in over 80 years. The market for properties over $4 million is on fire, rising to 116 signed contracts, an increase of 23% over last February, making this month the highest number of signed contracts over $4 million on record. January fared well too, with 98 signed contracts, about the same as last year. With such sales strength of luxury properties during this brutal winter, we are expecting a banner year for the NYC luxury real estate market for the balance of 2015.
Read More20 East End Avenue, designed by renowned architect, Robert A. M. Stern (famous for 15 Central Park West, 520 Park and 220 Central Park South), is one of the most elegant new developments in Manhattan. The Upper East Side condo building will feature only 43 units, mostly larger, stately apartments (including two townhomes with separate entrances) with some of the best finishes we have seen in Manhattan.
Read MoreManhattan’s rental-to-condo conversion craze has continued unabated, amid rising prices, the lack of available buildable land, and low condo inventory. Over the last year, major new condo conversion projects have been announced at a record pace throughout Manhattan, from the Upper West Side all the way down to Battery Park. To-date, the driving force behind the conversion trend was a number of economic challenges and opportunities; however, a major new policy shift is set to fuel even more conversions, creating a huge opportunity for both building owners and future buyers.
Read MoreAt 777 feet tall, this iconic glass tower will be an elegant addition to the Madison Square Park skyline. The floor-to-ceiling glass design grows progressively wider toward the top of the building and towers over most of the surrounding buildings, given the low-rise neighborhood where it is located in NYC. The Madison Square neighborhood is very much in vogue and now the epicenter of NYC’s rapidly growing technology sector. 45 East 22 Street will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood where both One Madison and 10 Madison Square West - two other tony new luxury condominiums in the neighborhood - have had great success.
Read MoreNew York unemployment rate hit the lowest level since the dark days post-Lehman in November 2008. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in New York dropped to 6.8% in September 2014. The 1.8-point year-over-year drop took place at the same time the labor force expanded by 0.8%, suggesting a much greater improvement than can be discerned solely from the unemployment rate. The declining unemployment rate has, in part, put upward pressure on rents and prices of New York real estate. Manhattan rental rates for September are up 5.2%, while condo prices are up 7% (on a price per square foot basis).
Read MoreManhattan housing prices continued their rise at a decent pace in the 3rd Quarter, as demand outstripped resale inventory supply. While the number of New York properties for sale was up significantly in the quarter, most of the new inventory entering the market has been for new construction projects that won’t be delivered for another year or two. Anyone who is currently in the throes of a property search will know that the number of properties available for immediate occupancy is very low. While the sales pace in the 3rd Quarter relaxed compared to last year, the market is still very competitive, with more than 50% of the properties closing at asking price or higher and over 50% of the condo deals closing in cash.

In addition to the condo component, the building will include a 150-room, five-star hotel with ballroom and luxury spa.

Taking the form of what looks like two double barrel shotguns fused together, its multi-cylindrical appearance is a standout in a city full of right angles.
Read MoreThe Pierhouse offers contemporary townhouse-like living, except with expansive, protected views of Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor. Given its location, a short ferry or subway ride from Wall Street or Midtown, Pierhouse could be a great alternative to Manhattan Luxury Properties, which are priced much higher. Also, it’s only a 5-minute walk to both Dumbo arts district and Brooklyn Heights historic district.

Read MoreTechnology is playing a greater role in New York City’s job market and, consequently, in the New York Real Estate market. A recent study found that New York’s Silicon Alley has almost 300,000 jobs in its high-tech “ecosystem,” which includes both tech and non-tech jobs from programmers to sales reps. These jobs pay almost 50% higher than the average city-wide wage. At the beginning of 2014, approximately 7% of the city’s population was in the high-tech industry, generating 12% of the city’s tax revenue. NYC tech jobs, however, are being created at a higher pace than in any other sector - growing four or five times faster than the rate in the rest of the city.
Read MoreSuper-tall, thin, sexy and elegant! One would think I was referring to the latest runway models at fashion week, but, actually, I am referring to the new super-tall, ultra-luxurious towers rising, or set to rise, from 950 to 1,550 feet tall along 57 Street (and its environs) from Park Avenue to Broadway, now dubbed by many as Billionaire’s row in New York. While the intersection of 57 Street and Fifth Avenue has long been the epicenter of luxury in Manhattan, never has it been home to the most exclusive of New York residential real estate. Soon, however, that will forever change.
Read MoreThe newest proposed tower of the bunch, 520 Park Avenue, is being developed by the Zeckendorf’s, the same team behind 15 Central Park West, 18 Gramercy Park and 50 United Nations Plaza. Its’ 31 units will rise only 51-stories, making it by far the shortest of the bunch. However, given that it sits on a prime mid-rise block in the Upper East Side, on 60th Street between Park and Madison Avenues, apartments will have great views of Central Park and the city while, at the same time, being in a traditional New York neighborhood.
Read MoreSet to be one of the very tallest residential buildings in New York at a height of 1,398 feet, 432 Park Avenue will tower above all of its neighbors, including 520 Park Avenue, which lies three blocks north and is only 781 feet tall. The building sits directly south of the Four Season’s Hotel - between 57th and 56th Streets and Park and Madison Avenues – a location that has long been synonymous with luxury. 432 Park Avenue is in the middle of construction and completion is anticipated for 2015.
Read MoreTower Verre has been resurrected after the financial crisis put a damper on its plans to go vertical. We expect the building to rise 1,050 feet tall into the New York skyline, a bit shorter than its original 1,250-foot design. According to the WSJ, the tower will rise 72 stories and feature 145 ultra-luxury condos, designed by Thierry Despont. A hotel is planned for the lower floors, as well as space for the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa), the source of the building’s nickname MoMa Tower. Tower Verre is located at 53 West 53rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Read MoreThe skinniest tower of them all, if not in the world, is 111 West 57 Street, located between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in New York. At a height of 1,350 feet, it sits on a lot that is only 60 feet wide (or 18 meters). Incredibly slender, every unit in the tower, which starts on the 17th floor, will be a full floor residence comprised of no more than 4,000 or 5,000 square feet - a great building for those who don’t want any neighbors! In addition, like One57, the building will almost bisect the park, creating amazing symmetrical views of Central Park to the North. Covered in bronze and terracotta strips, taking notes from New York’s buildings of the past, the building will have a number of setbacks along 57th Street that are the basis for it’s nickname Stairway to Heaven. The façade of the landmarked Steinway Building, which sits on the site, will be preserved, but the remaining part of the building will be demolished and used as amenity floors and residences. This super skinny tower, designed by SHoP Architects, will have only 80 units, including duplexes and a four-story penthouse. Combine the unique design, outrageous symmetrical views of Central Park, the successful team that brought us the exquisite restoration and renovation of Walker Tower (JDS and PMG), along with the full floor concept, and I think we have a great contender here. Occupancy anticipated in 2017. Exclusively marketed by: TBA. To learn more about each of the Ultra-Luxury 7 buildings developing along the 57th Street corridor, click on the links below:

Long an industrial no man’s land, West Chelsea was once littered with parking lots, nightclubs, auto repair shops, manufacturers, warehouses and a sprinkling of art galleries. But, that is all about to change.

Read MoreAccording to global real estate brokerage, Savills' Plc, New York City ranked only second to Tokyo in terms of “above-gilts” yield when comparing this measure across the top 10 global cities. Behind New York City, was Paris and then London. “To understand the true appeal of residential as an asset class in each city”, Savills' analysis compared the “above-gilts” yields (gross rental yield less 10-year treasury bond yield for the respective country) for each of the 10 global cities. Savills' believes the above-gilts yield measure “sheds light not only on where income investors might put their money but also on how out of synch with underlying occupier demand a city’s residential values might be.”
Read MoreFor the last 9 months, we have been telling our buyers about the shortage of available inventory for sale in NY and how that will play out in the market. Well, Bloomberg finally picked up on the trend with its recent article titled: “Manhattan Homes Under $3 million Never Harder to Buy”. The article and accompanying video discusses the factors that created this inventory shortage and the resulting effect on buyers.
