Real Deal: Top Sale$ in 2011… WoW!!!

There was nothing too shabby about these year end sales that took place in 2011!!! Mid range buyers cannot stop looking for the “perfect” apt, but high rollers went all out:
$48M @ The Plaza, E.75th for $36.5M, Fifth Avenue for $34.6, Columbus Circle for $30.55 & CPS for $30M rank in the top of THE 10 most pricey. Foreigners from China & Russia LOVE owning NYC!

In Case YOU Didn’t Know…

As a broker, the applicant always suspects that we are in the business of price gauging to improve our commissions… Well, it just ain’t so! This is the Real report from market experts Marcus & Millichap and the Wall Street Journal confirms it!!!
As we’ve written, the rental market is thriving as millions of Americans — many of them burned by the housing crash — opt to rent homes instead of buy them. This comes as little new supply has been added the market, creating a sweet spot for landlords who are raising rents
*With so few apartments up for grabs, rents could grow by a 4.8%.
Should it weaken further, renters could double up with roommates or move in with mom and dad. And if landlords raise rents too much, they risk pushing the tenants to buy low-priced homes.

I have seen many high end buyers turn to renting in some of the NEW luxury condos that didn’t sell. Now they can enjoy the good lifestyle with a MUCH lower ticket price!!!

Mature Brokers:Service is Highly Agreeable~ Real Deal Report!!!

In a nutshell, January 2012 Real Deal states that more & more successful brokers are over age 35 in NYC and around the globe. The seasoned workers tend to have more contacts, a higher work ethic and more staying power in a tough market. New college grads entering the field has dropped dramatically, with overall license requests dropping from 1,952 down to 1,519 in 2011. I can personally bear witness as a 7year veteran. I am a baby boomer coming from an entertainment & celebrity background. It takes time to connect on financial disclosure issues with ‘friends’. I treat your information as if it was a cure for cancer. Sometimes the ‘microwave generation’ lacks the patience & sensitivity to deal with the depth of your lifestyles and finances. Hmmmm.
Let’s talk about what you need. *Buying for children, investing, downsizing, getting a pied-a-terre.
So many needs! Call me.
