Sue's News and Views September 2022 |

Dear All, I hope you had a lovely summer! I truly enjoyed the warm weather and welcome the slightly cooler days, too. There are lots of news to share: the closing of my listing at 725 Riverside Drive (sold at 6.7%/$ 30,000 above the asking price) and a new listing in TriBeCa at 10 Jay Street! See more exciting details when you scroll down. The title photo of this newsletter was shot looking North from 10 Jay Street - Staple Street is a popular backdrop for movies shot in downtown New York City! Jay Street is a quiet, almost dreamy cobble stone street in TriBeCa, a neighborhood once housing warehouses and storage facilities for the shipping commerce, which has transformed into a vibrant and hip neighborhood with fascinating loft spaces, great restaurants and upscale services at your fingertips. Labor Day brings everyone back into the city, and the market is picking up, with supply even slightly higher than at the same time last year. Median DOM (Days on market) is 58, negotiability between 2.6 an 4.4%, and it might very well stay low. The numbers approach historical averages - so, nothing surprising to report at this point. Due to the high rent level, purchasing property as opposed to renting has again become worth a thought - or a calculation, respectively. It can vary a lot depending on location - rendering the rule of thumb that if you intend to live here for two years or longer, it's worth considering owning instead of renting, still valid. Building your own equity - instead of contributing to your landlord's - could make a tremendous difference. For all the specific data you're curious about - feel free to reach out to me. Happy fall everyone, stay healthy and well, Warmly, sue |
