“It's A New Year and A New Market; What's My Apartment Worth?”

(I’m Really Glad You Asked!)

Home owners posing this age-old question invariably fall into two camps: those who’ve been 

eager to sell for some time – and those simply pondering the possibilities of moving on to a new 

lifestyle setting. It’s only natural to know how much money your condo, co-op or townhouse will

fetch. In this newsletter, I want to make you aware of the variables that shape a fair-

market price assessment – a tricky task made even slippery-er with all the vagaries

hovering over New York City’s 2024 real estate scene.


A real estate reality overview:


  • A long stretch of low buyer demand continues to propel pricing uncertainty.


  • Property valuations are all over the place – even in the same apartment building.


  • Finally! - with mortgage rates dipping under 7% - buyers are gradually stepping off 

    the wait & see sidelines.



  • As apartment inventory eventually increases, strategically targeted pricing will 

    determine what sells the quickest.



  • Renovated properties in premier neighborhoods – such as West Village, Tribeca, Brooklyn Heights

    , and Williamsburg - lead the race for scoring top dollars and bidding wars.



  • In areas where townhouse supply is limited - like Cobble Hill, Prospect Heights and 

    Park Slope - buyers are more willing to renovate, as long as the home is priced 

    accordingly.



Making the most of your investment:


  • Count on me to deliver the most accurate property valuation, based on personal 

    inspection, the latest comparative figures from Compass research, and a deep 

    understanding of the subtle forces that sway market pricing.



  • Years of negotiating know-how delivers top-dollar sales results - transactions that 

    are a win-win for sellers as well as buyers.



  • Consider our one-of-a-kind Compass Concierge service, the hassle-free way to sell your home 

    faster and for a higher price with services like staging, flooring, painting and 

    more. You’ll pay for the services after the sale – and 47% of Compass Concierge 

    clients close deals above asking price.



Your apartment is more than just another listing up for sale. It’s a home you’ve loved, a 

home that has rewarded you in so many ways. I’m here to ensure your home continues to 

reward you when it comes to market – with the strongest package of spot-on pricing, 

sophisticated marketing support and the dedicated attention that makes all the 

difference.

Reports of the death of New York City real estate may have been greatly exaggerated. The total tentative market value for assessed properties in New York City rose to $1.491 trillion, up 0.7 percent from the current fiscal year, according to new data from the city’s Department of Finance.
