Bachelorette 101
It has been a busy summer for me, since both my sister and my cousin are getting married and I have had the privilege of planning 2 different bachelorette parties, 2 different bridal showers, and 2 weddings!
I have been married for over 7 years and have attended about a dozen bachelorette parties. Therefore planning 2 this summer was a breeze for me, and I thought I would share some tips and tricks in case anyone else needs some help.
My first tip is do your research on Tik Tok. TT is a great place to watch videos and get reviews of the everything from excursions to nightclubs to restaurants. It's the modern Yelp and gives you updated experiences from people who recently went there.
Second, use the app Splitwise for accounting. It's a game changer! It keeps track of who paid for what so when the trip is done getting squared away is easy.
Few things every itinerary needs:
1. Group Workout - girls love doing group things and exercise should be one of them!
2. Excursions - boat ride, snorkeling, hike, or visit to some historical site of the location is always a fun activity to do during the day as a group.
3. Dress Code/ Theme - the opportunity to play adult dress up with your friends does not come often, enjoy it!

Market Report
August has been slow, but it's always slow. The city feels empty as most take their final vacations out of town.
Only a few more weeks and then we are back to school and waiting for a busier fall market.
We anticipate an increase in inventory come mid September - October 2023. Our advice is if you have something you are waiting to list- Right after labor day is the time.
Alternatively, you can wait 3 weeks past Labor Day when the existing listings typically reduce and come to market with a competitive edge. We are seeing historic averages regarding inventory most similar to 2018 which was a neutral market.
- contracts signed: 824
- new inventory: 1,108
- 4.1% listings went into contract in the first 30 days
- Manhattan supply: 6,529
- pending sales: 3,504
- days on market average: 69 days (down 12% year to date)
